A Place to Give Thanks!

With Thanksgiving a few days away.  I have put together a really simple, easy, and fun DIY for you. Here is a little token to get your family and guest involved in thinking about what they are thankful for at the dinner table!

Collect all your supplies and available to use.

Measure and cut out your kraft paper

Use a window for tracing or a flat surface.  

Finally, you have a ready to use placemat. 

What you'll need:

1. As many 20" x12" (roughly) pieces if kraft paper as you have people  at your table 

2. White paint pen (used the Recollection brand at  Michaels)

3. This printable template that reads "I am thankful for.." to trace on the kraft paper

4. Use window or other surface that can be used to trace on

When you complete your own DIY project for you and your family tag me on Instagram @loladenotes.  Remember to live, love & share!


Happy Thanksgiving!

It only gets better when you get better!

Hey Good People!

I hope you are having a great week and gearing up for turkey day next week!  This year has really flown by fast.  I am reflecting on how much has changed.  

I have to say that I have grown so much as a woman.  I am feeling more comfortable in my skin.  I am learning to embrace failure by failing forward.  It is okay to ask for help and it is okay to step into the unknown.  The truth is if your life is not evolving then you are not growing.  How do you know if you are growing?  

1. You experience discomfort.

2. The things that interested you yesterday no longer interest you today.  That can be things or people.

3. Your focus is peeked toward where you want to go vs. where you currently are.

I want to encourage you to intentionally keep growing and be present while on your journey.  I want you to enjoy the moment.  It might be easier said then done, but life is worth living, loving and sharing. 

Check out the new banner on the blog!  Also I have a fun blog post to share with you on Tuesday.  Make sure to come back now!

Hey Everyone! It has been a while since I have been on the scene.  I have been busy with travel, work, and  love.  These photos of our trip to Tenn. is long over due.  I can now cross the Smoky Mts. off my bucket list.  The trip was over Columbus weekend (how ironic considering we went to an Indian Reservation).  Enjoy your week and see you again on Thursday!  Remember to live love share.

Left this at home for a weekend with nature

Relax Reset Revive!

Going to the reservation was interesting need less to say.
 I think I was expecting more. This picture and costume was more
for the tourist.
