Sunday Says...

"She refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn't boring."  -- Zelda Fitzgerald 

I love this quote!! A great message for kids especially. There is always something to be done. No need to be idle. We're not boring and can always make anything fun. ;) 

What do you do to avoid boredom?

Sunday Says...

Okay, life is getting back to normal and hopefully my routine is as well. Everyone goes back to school and work on Tuesday so I'm trying to get back to normal this week... starting today. :) So, Sundays are my day to talk about whatever I want. This week I saw this awesome Dr. Seuss quote on Pinterest (yes, I'm one of those crazy people on Pinterest... I just can't help myself.) I saw it and immediately knew that it was going to be my quote for today. So, here it is.

Isn't this such an awesome quote? I think it's the perfect way to say why it's important to be yourself. I call myself an anti-conformist (even though I have one of the millions of book review blogs out there) and I try my best to teach my children this. I want them to do stuff because they want to and not because it is what society or their friends expect of them. This is such a great quote!

So, what are your thoughts on it?

Sunday Says...

I have been thinking a lot about the media that finds it's way in my house. My children are young so it's still fairly easy to control what they see but I am concerned about when they get older. My brain wandered to The 13 Articles of Faith. For those of you who don't know, I am a Latter-day Saints (commonly called Mormon) and the Articles of Faith are a basic outline of what we believe. Anyways, the 13th one popped in my head which reads,
"We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things."
The part in bold at the end is what really caught my attention. We must seek after these things that are virtuous, lovely, good report, or praiseworthy. So, how do you keep these things in your home and keep the unclean things out of your home?

Sunday Says...

Sunday Says is my day to focus on some of my favorite quotes from recently read books and why I like them. :)

“Today's worries are yesterday's fears and tomorrow's stories.”
Alyson Noel, Evermore 

This one is just such a great reminder that even if this worry does seem like the end of the world -- it won't be. Life will go on and we are strong enough to make it through it.

 “I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.”
Herman Melville, Moby Dick 

 How can someone not be happy after reading this? No matter what we do, let's smile and make the best of the situation. =o)
