Oh, Margaret.

This Iron Lady and I share a birthday, which is pretty neat; even though she was born 61 years before I was, but that doesn't matter. I still like to think we share some similar talents. As of right now, I have no ambition of becoming a Prime Minister, but it sure sounds tempting to put some men in there place like she did. (That must feel really good to do.) What a powerhouse woman and a great role model to have. 

(If you have never seen the movie, The Iron Lady, I highly recommend you do.)

It's a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

As if I don't have enough on my plate, I decided it would be fun to grow pumpkins; yes, pumpkins. Somewhere in my mind I wanted to make farming look good. (I know, I have issues.) So after a little begging and pleading, Cody said yes and a few months back we planted pumpkin seeds in our garden. Were hoping with a little nurturing and love, and lots of seven dust, our pumpkins will make their grand entrance in a few weeks. How fun! October is right around the corner, so these pumpkins better get busy!

SAHM Inc.

As most of you know, I have ventured off the beaten path and officially become a "stay at home mom." I feel so blessed to be given this opportunity, but I severely underestimated the work it takes to be a “full-time” mom. Seriously, how do these women do it?  
I quickly realized there are no quiet drives to and from work; there is no planning period, lunch breaks, and adult conversation with fellow teachers. This new job starts anywhere from 6 to 8 am and continues until Cody gets home. Oh by the way, I appreciate you now, more than ever.
 It is a tough job, but I love it.
Instead of receiving a monthly paycheck deposited into my account, I instead am payed with morning pajama parties, Micky Mouse Clubhouse TV shows, and warm smiles and giggles from a blond headed little boy.

 I love planning out my day’s adventures and knowing my buddy will be tagging along. I treasure the moments that I am present to watch Charleston’s talents unfold. I feel very blessed to have this time.

I would like to give a shout out to my husband for being gracious enough to give the go ahead on this new chapter. I know this is a short season of our lives and I thank him for being supportive. 

Simple Thanks

I would like to take some time out today and thank you guys for reading this blog and keeping up with the simple things that happen in my life. It means so much to have your support. You are the reason I keep this blog going and I truly appreciate your friendship and unwavering support. The Bunyards are so blessed to know you. Truly. 

Friendship is the golden thread that ties the heart of all the world.
