Thank You Notes: Library and Friends with Books

Welcome to Thank You Notes!!

I love Fridays, I love thank you notes, and I love Jimmy’s Thank You Notes…. so, naturally, Fridays here on my blog means: Thank You Notes and Jimmy Fallon. 🙂

Here are Jimmy’s weekly Thank You Notes:

HAHAHA!! Shaken not stirred!! C’mon it’s funny.

And here are my Thank You Notes for the week:

Thank you, fall! I know I’ve already talked about fall, like, a billion times but I cannot tell you how happy I am to have real fall back in my life again. This weekend, while I was out, I took this picture:

I know it’s not the most beautiful picture, it doesn’t even capture the beauty that I was surrounded by, but it was just a moment I had. A moment where I was sitting in the car waiting for my husband to run in to the fancy pet store to get dog food, and I looked around and was just thankful. I loved that my family and I walked around the town’s little Maine St. and enjoyed the crisp weather with the sound of leaves steadily hitting the ground. The colors were gorgeous, the smells were amazing, probably because we were near a bake shop. 🙂                                                      Did you think we just passed said shop without engaging in some indulgence….

Thank you, multiple kids + moves across country, for our traditional library card day pictures.

Thank you, Jimmy Fallon, for being a sweetheart! It was nice to see you giving advice to your teenage shadow for a day on Periscope.

Thank you, Oh My Heartsie Girls, for featuring my Dollar Tree Pumpkin Redo!! I’m so very grateful for the LOVE!

Thank you, Bev, for creating The Busy Mom’s Guide to Creativity!! Seriously, this book is a must-have for moms who feel they are losing their creative spunk.  This book would also make a great gift for new moms.  I can totally attest to the power of creativity, so much so that I’m in the book! 😀 That’s not why I love the book though, I love it because 1)  Bev put her heart in it. 2) She wrote this book with busy moms in mind. 3) the workbook is AWESOME! 4) After reading it I felt inspired to create. 5) Moms need things for themselves, self care is something moms seem to push off for others, creating is a form of self care. 6) The tips that Bev provides. 7) What Bahar Rinsler said! You have to read the book to get that one. 🙂  8) The quotes throughout the book are inspiring. 9) Bev practices what she preaches in this book, have you seen her shop? 10) I love Bev, she has found a way to empower women. We don’t have to have mom guilt to do the things we love.

Bev, I’m so incredibly proud of you!! You had a dream and went after it. You are sharing some of that bliss you have in your life with other mothers and that’s… beautiful. Thank you!

I would also like to congratulate my friend Nina on her book! Parenting with Purpose comes out October 18th 🙂

I will share more about Parenting With Purpose soon. Keep your eyes peeled!

Thank you, Friday!!!
