6 Things I Value:

It almost goes without saying that I value my relationship with Jesus above all else.
And my family is what I hold dear above all on this earth.
Followed by true friendship- something sometimes hard to come by but so worth treasuring.

So, I'm going to jump ahead to lesser things on my list...

1) A nice, tall pumpkin latte just as the first leaves begin to turn color.

2) Time alone to read a really good book. (Currently reading the book I won over at Jill, Inc called "A mile in my Flip Flops"- about a single gal who's addicted to watching HGTV and decides to try flipping a house. I am so enjoying this light read!)

3) Vegging out occasionally with an old movie...or HGTV

4) Listening to romantic music, alone with my husband (it doesn't happen that often with the business of life, but when it does, it rates right up there- yes, even higher than the pumpkin latte.)

5) Being able to be home with my children during the day - and more precisely, to home school them. Although it has it's challenges like any job, it is truly one of the things that gratifies me the most and that I'm thankful for.

6) Last but not least...(well, alright, I guess it is least...)
Chocolate anything.

6 Things I do not support:

1) Any bug or insect's right to take up residence in my home.

2) The way that gravity is not a gal's best friend.

3) Surprise crumbs on the sheets when I get into bed. (It's not always hubby...sometimes little munchkins were there...)

4) People who use foul language in public places. (Especially where there are little ears!)

5) Having "alternative lifestyles" popping up more and more on channels like my HGTV

6) And finally, (sorry to any friends on the "left")
I do not support the Democratic candidate.

Now, I have to award and tag 6 people. It's hard to keep track of who has done this one, so if I tag you and you already did this, just be glad you're oh so popular.

So...

Dawn at Dawn Writes.

Michelle at Big Blueberry Eyes.

Susanne at Living to tell the Story.

Susan at Learning for a Lifetime.

Mary at Mary's Writing Nook.

Lisa at A Place to Land.

I know sometimes tags are hard to find time to do, but if you accept this award which you all deserve, then let me know so I can come read your answers!

And speaking of Michelle, whom I listed, I was lucky enough to win a sweet Precious Moments figurine from her. It's so adorable- thank you again, Michelle!

She also tucked in a surprise chapter book for my girls called "Precious Girls Club" and I just finished reading it to them last night. They were entranced and didn't want it to end!

They even a new website that I thought a few you others with girls under ten might be interested in...they are still working on it, but you can still go by to play games, print out coloring sheets, ect.

OK, I just looked at my calendar and realized that it's the first day of FALL!
This northern gal can't really say it like they do in the south, but...
