Do you ever wonder why people act so crazy during the holidays? I used to until I had children and became a single mom. It can be too much stress and pressure to keep up with the Jones’s as they say. Kids talk to each other in school and adults talk to their friends, and everyone wants to have what everyone else has or better. There is an expectation for the holidays that is almost impossible to achieve in today’s economy. Everything is so expensive that is get harder and harder each year to keep up. I do the best that I can and my kids thankfully understand that. I am grateful to have such understanding kids who do not expect the world handed to them on a silver platter. They are truly grateful for the life that they have.
Wedding favor bags
I found some neat Wedding favor bags that have little trinkets and some bird seed in it for the guests. People don’t use rice anymore because the birds eat it and it swells in their stomachs, which is bad for them. So now we use bird seed and it serves two purposes. Keeps the birds safe while allowing the tradition of throwing seed or rice for plentiful crops or fertility to continue.
I have always liked that tradition as it is so fun and signals the start of a new life for the bride of groom. It has a lot of romanticism and practicality within it.
Tired lately
I have been really tired lately. I don’t know if it is because I have been sleeping too hard or what. I am getting plenty of sleep, but still don’t want to get up in the morning. I haven’t been doing anything different in my life, nothing more strenuous then usual. I just cannot figure out why I am so danged tired all the time. Maybe it is just this time of year. The holidays are always stressful and this year is no exception.
I am going to go see my doctor and get checked out. It is probably like I said, stress, but I want to be sure. I have too much to take care of with the kids and all to fall sick. I will make the appointment when I get off of here.
Beach wedding favors
I have been surfing the web just looking around at different stuff and came across what I think are the neatest Beach wedding favors. Not that I am getting married, but for those of you who are, you might want to check these out. If you are having a beach themed wedding, the wedding favors that you give out will probably be beached themed as well. This site has a lot of different varieties of favors that can be customized or personalized as well. I think the little treasure chests full of shells are too cute. It adds a little bit of a pirate flavor to the beach theme. Your groom and his friends will love that!
