The best mom advice you ever received.

Yesterday was Mother's Day so I hope all of my blog mommies had a wonderful day. Today's post is about Mom Advice. When I was a little girl, my mom always taught me to treat people the way you want to be treated and I have to say; that is almost 100% right.  If you treat others with kindness, you'll almost always get it back.  I say almost always because you don't always meet the nicest people.

HOORAY!!! For TODAY!!

What a wonderful day! The kids are back at school (YAY!!!) and the house is full of silence. Now I can get my "MOJO" back because for some strange reason, when the kids are here, I have no energy whatsoever. It's like I become this lazy person I don't want to be. I hate that.
