The Elf on the Shelf

          I can't believe that Christmas is just around the corner! This is a neat little tradition that one of my sister-in-laws found.  I thought I would share incase someone hasn't seen it yet!
          I wanted to start it this year, however, this Christmas we are a little bit in shambles...we have another move possible for our family.  Because of the level of uncertainity I have not be able to put up any decorations which is killing me because my daughter is at the funniest age for this time of year.  I am feeling like I am missing out on a year of the funniest times! You know as kids get older it just is not the same as when they are little and so so excited for Santa!! In the last 2 years we have moved twice and looking now at the 3rd!!! We just moved 3 months ago to where we are now!! I had my 2nd daughter and was moving before she was a month old! Now again when she is 4 months poor girl is gettin some travelin in for sure.

Any who....

Here is the Elf on the Shelf ....

             You place it somewhere in your home and when the kids are misbehaving you tell them the elf is watching who is good or bad for Santa. Then at night the Elf flies home to the North Pole while the kids are sleeping and you place the Elf in another spot the next day in the house.  So it looks like he left and came back to sit somw where else! Next year for sure I am going to start this tradition with my girls...Hope you enjoy as well.

Quote of the Week

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.  ~Leo Buscaglia

When I saw this quote I had to post it. I think with the Holiday Season approaching it is a great reminder for all of us that giving and just being there for the people we love and even the people we just met is what CHRISTmas is all about!!

TiS tHe SEaSoN.....Fa La Fa La La La La

Hope it is a Great Day!!

Black Beauty

My almost 4 year old daughter loves horses and we have had her around them her whole life so far.  We finally broke down and bought her, her own horse.... Dolly!! We bought it from Flordia and had it shipped to us.  She was riding others horses and asking to ride her Dads all the time (but Dads horse is not as broke as Mama would like for her to ride).
So maybe about a week before her horse got here she doesn't want to ride anymore???? She fell off a little black pony but we put her right back on and that never bothered her. 
What you ask made her not want to ride anymore...a horse that shook with her made her scared, she didn't even fall off when the horse shook!!  So now she won't ride she was to where she rode on her own and held the reins and you didn't have to lead her.  Now however she is to where she won't even sit on the horse!!!!!!!!!!
I am asking all you horse people out there what should I do to get her on a horse? Her Dad and I have tried everything we know of to get her on...just throwing her up there and making her ride (thinkin she will remember just riding again and love it), giving her, her time because we don't want her to go totally the other way and not want to ever ride (that won't work cause our life is horses & rodeo).
Dolly is not the horse that shook or bucked her off. When I ask her if she wants to ride she always tells me tomorrow...tomorrow i will mom.

This is me on the horse:
