In the wake of the heartache I feel for the little boy in Layton that was murdered by his monstrous mother and stepfather I am feeling so blessed for so many wonderful things I have in my life. I thought I would list some of the daily things that make my heart smile :)
-When Matt asks me almost daily if he has told me how much he loves me.
-When I pick up the kids at the end of the day and they run to me saying Mommy!
-Although annoying, Bodee asking me every day when do I get a day off.
-Watching how much my boys love their dad.
-When people tell me that they love my store and how cute it is.
-When I ask Kolt something his answer is always no and then repeats ya that is a no mom.
-My employee Courtney. She makes my life so much easier and I don't know what I would do without her. She is priceless.
-Opening new shipments that come to the store. Its kind of like Christmas everyday!
-How supportive Matt is with my new business and how excited he gets about fashion now!
-Norm. How could you not love him. I love when he is super excited to see me and I pick him up he snorts in my ear.
-My good friends. They are the best and so supportive!
-Sunny Saturdays. It makes people want to buy clothes. Rainy days not so much!
-Watching Bodee show me is two fingered rocket ball! He is an awesome baseball player.
-My boys fight every single minute of every day and make me crazy but I love them so much, I cannot imagine anyone ever trying to hurt them. I cannot imagine the type of person it would take to harm your own child! I just want to remember the sorrow I feel for that little boy and how much it made me want to run to my own children and hold them and never let them go. I really want to enjoy every moment with them even the super annoying, want to tear my own hair out and gouge my own eyes out moments (we know we all have them). Kids are so precious and I want to remind myself to soak in every second with them!

Matt, Laura, Bodee and Kolt
About Me
- Laura
- I am a stay at home mom of two little boys. Bodee joined our family June 23, 2004 and we were then blessed again May 1, 2007 with Kolt. These two keep me on my toes and I always think I will remember all of the funny little things they do. Without recording them I always forgot so now my blog lets me keep track.

Your life sounds beautiful! We are blessed momma's for sure! I have to keep telling myself that God wouldnt let a child suffer and I know God took little Ethans soul before he could feel the pain.
I know, I read that story and could not believe it. How could a mother sit back and watch someone do that to their own child? To see them hurt and then lock them in a room and leave. They should be beat and killed themselves. It does make you appreciate the good life we have. Good husbands, good families, and great kids! I do believe that in the worst moments, that he was pain free, God would not let a precious thing suffer like that.
You are so great! It is so good to see your happiness with the store! Hope all is going well, Yes little Ethan was really hard for me too, as it hits a little close to home (the name). I have gotten too the point where I just can't hear anymore, and have to be happy that I live with four spoiled rotten brats!!! Love ya, Jody
I love this post.. That Ethan Stacy story makes me so sick to my stomach.. Its great you are able to focus on so many positive things & blessings you have in your life.. Hearing stories like this really makes you want to embrace every wonderful thing we have...
And yes, your store is wonderful! And that little employee of yours is a keeper for sure! she's quite the sales lady.. haha.. She just kept talking & complimenting & that made me just want to keep buying!
