Love One Another

Tristan told me this morning he didn't want to go to school today, because he said he he no friends and his little face just looked crushed and he started to cry. My heart broke- no parent likes to see those child hurt.

I know Tristan has friends, but sometime kids can be hurtful- my son included. Today, my prayer is for our littles to have kind words and actions towards others and that others would have kind words and actions towards them. Kids don't always get along, I get that, they don't even have to like each other. That's ok too. But what they do need to do is be respectful no matter what. Teaching children to turn the other cheek is also not an easy task. It's a difficult concept for adults to understand! But it's not impossible. Ultimately, it comes down to loving one another. 

Lord, I pray today for our little guys to be loved and accepted by others and reciprocate the same love and acceptance. I pray that our kids have good day at school or at home- where ever they may be. May they have patience with others and may others have patience with them. Most importantly though, may others see you through them. Watch over them, protect them an love them. In your name I ask these things, Amen. 

Jesus said: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ There is no other commandment that ranks with these.” (Mark 12:31 MSG)

Tristan and his friends, that he swears she doesn't have, at his very first concert at school. Sometimes they need to be reminded just how loved they are. <3

My Home Away From Home! <3

So, here is the deal- I work 70+ hours in a week, this is spread out between 2 jobs. (and usually, 2-3 outfit changes through out the day...no, I'm not kidding.) Yesterday as I was rushing, ok, let's be real, I was in 5:30 traffic trying to get across town, anyhow, I was rushing from one job to the next...I was sitting in my car eating my dinner, which was pretty awesome; peanut butter and jelly sandwich, Keebler Elf cookies, a Baggie of carrot sticks, an apple and peanut butter straight from the container with a spoon. I felt a little lonely, driving, eating my dinner and listening to some music. Now, let me tell you about my home away from home, aka my car, and the type of relationship we have. I hop in at 7:00 am, usually I'm finishing some type of breakfast, oatmeal, a beagle, whatev, but ALWAYS iced coffee. We drop the kids off and blast some music to wake me up a little more- just incase the coffee failed for the day. We hang out until 7:45 when I get to work- m...

Who am I?

Who am I? Very good question, who am I? The simple answer, a Crazy Busy Mom of 4, but are answers ever simple? Answering the ‘Who Am I’ question seems somewhat like a tricky question- Its like when you go on an interview or apply for college. Are you sincerely interested in who I am? Or, are you more interested in who I think you want me to be? Or do you not even care and merely ask on the grounds of a formality. Answering this question gives me anxiety- because, really, WHO AM I? My name is Rhiannon, I am 30 year old and I have blond hair, my Pinterest has over 1500 pins and 48 boards. I have only made 3 things from my boards- I work 70+ hours a week spending a majority of that time with a high school football team that makes me laugh and also terrifies me of raising two boys!   Oh, I am also a wife to a wonderful husband and 4 children, one of whom I was not sure would make it to the age of 5- amazingly; on October 2, 2012 he turned 5. Our next goal is to make it to the age of ...

Holiday Deliciousness!

One thing that I love for the holidays and have started as a tradition for my own family is homemade cinnamon rolls from scratch. Now, don't get me wrong, they take a LONG time, and I am not getting up at 3:00 am just so we can have cinnamon rolls. So, I searched the internet for some amazing overnight cinnamon rolls, and I came up with 3 recipes that I combined to make my own holiday morning cinnamon rolls. The rolls themselves come from the  William's Sanoma Overnight Cinnamon Rolls recipe. Ingredients: For the dough:  1 Tbs. (1 package) active dry yeast  1/2 cup warm water (105°F)  4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed  4 eggs  1/4 cup granulated sugar  2 tsp. kosher salt  8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature     8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted  1/2 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 Tbs. ground cinnamon Directions: To make the dough, in the bowl of a stand ...
