On a serious note..

This last week I have been thinking a lot about life... the experiences we have, the choices we are faced with, and our purpose. Today as I was sitting here watching my kids play and laugh I couldn't help but think that my purpose right now is to raise my children. To teach them right from wrong, to love them unconditionally, to wipe away their tears, to build them up when they are down, to teach them that they can achieve anything, and most importantly, to make sure that they have the light of Christ in their lives, that they know He is there and will always be there, and that they know their mommy truly believes that. It made me grateful for the influence of my mother in my life... for her selflessness. I feel so blessed to have these two amazing children in my life!! Seriously, how can these two not make you smile?!!

Hello! This is ashley from cutestblogontheblog, cute background choice, and thanks for your comment on my page. I actually have people hire me to do headers to match a background of their liking. I do the designs specifically how they want them. So I can help you with that if you'd like, or you can go to scrapblog.com and try your hand there at a header. That's where I got my start. :)

Thanks,

Ashley
