Always There For You

Whenever my girls are having a hard time, and everything seems to be overwhelming, I try to encourage them to do a few things:

Get some excercise and clear their heads



Stop to look at the beauty around them



Treat themselves to something wonderful


Remind them that there are people who are less fortunate than they are


~Pray for Peace~                  


Sometimes I tell them to....


And the last thing I tell them is...
"I'm always there for you, and I've got your back."


Hope you all have a fun Labor Day weekend!!

    Hi Sheri, great advice from a great mother. :) I love that last picture. Also noticed the cheese fondue mentioned in the next post so I have to go take a look. Yum.

    I stopped by to let you know that for now I will be writing at my other blog only (Red Scarf Diaries). I hope you stop by and click on my google reader to continue visiting. I couldn't transfer the readers but still plan to keep up with many of my faves.

    Enjoy your weekend.

    Sheri, you seem like the nicest person. I love hearing from you on my blog. I get such a sense of calmness reading what you have to say. Your girls are lucky to have you. I love your advise. We use to say "Get your panties out of a knot and move on. Kinda the same thing. Anyway it's cute advise. Hope you have a great weekend.

    Hi Sheri,

    Absolutely...tomorrow is another day and a different perspective! It is hard to still hold their hand but give them a gentle push too!

    Enjoy your long weekend too!

    My dear dear Sheri,

    Thank you for coming to visit me today. I do start school on Tuesday, mornings will be rough for about a month, so I have to juggle what I SO ENJOY and that is following everyone that comes to visit. BUT I WILL STILL BE POSTING! YOu are so kind to come to visit. Isn't blogland addicting?

    You give good advice to your girls....it is a blessing to be a mentor, isn't it?

    Enjoy your holiday dearest, Anita

    Are you in that last pic? Just wondering.
    Put on your big pants and deal? Haven't heard that one yet, lol.
    Great advice for your girls.
