Talking in Parenthesis

Ramblings and angst from a mostly stay at home mom

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us. It is in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela

Three Things Thursday

This will be a Christmas Traditions edition today

1. I do not fix the big traditional dinner for Christmas. I only do that for Thanksgiving. Instead we pick a fun dinner to do. We have done cheeseburgers, nachos, mini pizzas. I would rather make something like that and enjoy my day, than spend it cooking.
2. Christmas Eve bedtime is reading 2 stories to the kids, Twas the Night Before Christmas and as Alli calls it Baby Jesus story from the bible.
3. We always have Christmas Crackers. You know the ones you pull at both ends, they pop and a small toy and a paper crown come out?
