Friday Favorites: Encouragement

Gals, I'm currently on vacation ... ok we are just visiting Mr's parents on the NC coast but hey we are away from home and Mr's not working (he rarely has time off #marriedtomedicine).
We are even squeezing in some time with friends :)

So I'm soaking up ALL the family fun time!

And even though this was a short week, since we left Wednesday afternoon, I promised I'd do better so I'm squeezing in a Friday post for you.

Here are a few of my favorite quotes to encourage you this weekend. I pulled them from my Pinterest board ... I've been reunited with Pinterest a lot lately. I've been pinning things for our home since we are decorating and soon renovatio, I've discovered lots of neat things as a first time Mamma for me and the baby, and of course fashion inspiration.

Gals, I firmly believe in getting dressed every day.  Yes, I chill in jeans. 

Treat each day like the precious gift that it is and give it your best.

Always start the day with a grateful heart!

I highly recommend exercise for the 'something'.  You will NEVER regret a workout!

PRIORITIES!!!

The Mamma life is full of challenges but it's the BEST life. 

Reach out to someone and let them know just how appreciated and special they are.

Dress Your Heart Beautifully

XOXO Sarah Louise

Wednesday Words - An Act of Kindness

Giving to Others is an Act I was Raised On.

Mamma Taught Us to Always Give Thanks for Our Many Blessings as There are Those Who Have Great Needs!

For Over 12 Years Now I have been a Member & Supporter of Several Non-Profits.
I'm a Junior Leaguer, having served on Advocacy & Public Affairs Committees.
As a Naval Officer's Spouse, I'm also the Benevolence Chairperson on the Board of a Military Affiliated Non-Profit.

My Family, Friends, and Social Engagements Bring Me Much Happiness, but There's Something Special That Comes with Serving a Greater Cause.  

This Friday I, along with my Committee and Non-Profit Members, will be Hosting Our Biggest Fundraiser of the Year Benefitting Local Military Families.

All the Hard Work, Efforts and Fun to be Had Don't Compare to the Reward of Helping Others.

Give an Act of Kindness

Wednesday Words - Summer in a Southern Snow

Southern Snow!!!

It's rare but it happened 

So many Great things come with a Southern Snow....

Mr's Home!

Hot Chocolate

Snow Angels

Breaths of Crisp Cold Air

Snuggles by the Fire

Scragley did not like the cold snow on his paws

A Pop of Red was the Perfect Flair in the Blanket of White

Our Backyard Beach was Boots in the Snow vs Toes in the Sand

Even in the Snow .....

This Red Hair has Southern Flair

Dreams of Backyard Soirees & Cool Down Swims

Wednesday Words - Grateful Heart

Every New Day is a New Blessing! 

So...

We often loose sight of the abundance of blessings in our world

I believe it is essential to give gratitude!

I have found that my greatest blessings aren't things I can buy, but exist in my family and friends

I display pictures of my loved ones throughout my home as reflections 

Be sure not to forget the simple things too .... a warm home, clean clothes and a full plate.

Have a Grateful Heart

XOXO Sarah Louise

Wednesday Words - Be Pretty

My Mamma always taught me "Pretty is as Pretty Does"

It's your actions and behavior that really matter... not how pretty your dressing is.

On days when I don't feel so pretty, I remember what my Mamma taught me.

Be Pretty Today 

XOXO Sarah Louise
