Lemonade Stand
On a very hot July morning and afternoon, my children Georgie and Isabella decided to have a lemonade stand benefitting Mommy's Light. I believe they picked the hottest day of the year! The best part about this story is that we live on a dead end street that turns into a hilly rocky dirt road!! There are only seven houses on our street! They drew and decorated a sign telling about the money would go to Mommy's Light. They sat out in front of our house all morning as it got hotter & hotter, they kept coming in for more ice, as it quickly melted! The mail carrier purchased a few cups! We live on the edge of a county park, not where the visitors come through, the far edge!!! The park ranger finally drove by, after climbing out of his vehicle lifting up his seat and finding some spare change underneath, he bought several cups!!!! It is now late afternoon, but the weary, hot and tired children do not give up. They gather a tray, put some cups, the pitcher of lemonade and the sign and they go door to door pedaling there lemonade! God Bless our neighbors and everyone who donated! They donated $28.00 to Mommy's Light!!! The moral to my story, Never Ever Give Up!!! I am so proud of my children! They planned this all on there own!!! Sara

My New Way of Life
Monday January 23, 2012
Hi! As we entered a New Year I was thinking like a lot of us I would like to make a few changes. I want to be more fit and have more energy. I was also thinking of my husband and children, particularly my children in that I did not want to call it a diet. I feel as a family that we eat fairly healthy foods, but there is always room for improvement! I feel myself in particular could learn some portion control. It is amazing what we really should be having. I elicited the help of a nutritionist and I am following what I would like to call a Lifestyle Change. I just completed my first full week today! I feel amazing! I have to say it has also had a profound positive effect on my family. I could not ask for more! As I am preparing the meals either one or both of my children are asking I would like to try that fish, I would like some oatmeal ! I say WOW!
I explain to them the fish does not have any spices or sauces it may not taste like what they are used to. They want to try any way! I am delighted to say I received positive feedback, that's good Mom! I know for myself it is particularly hard to make changes even little ones! I am here to report that even after just one week I am feeling very thankful that I made these changes and am looking forward to more positive results! Sara

Christmas Traditions
December 22, 2011
Hi! Christmas is almost here! I am deep in thought of all the wonderful traditions we have completed already such as going out and cutting down the christmas tree, baking cookies together, making wreaths and decorating the house together. Also the traditions to come such as Christmas eve service at church! My favorite tradition of all! All of these traditions I did every year with my family, again I feel very blessed that I am able to carry these on and I am also reminded of what I am teaching my children for I feel that these traditions have helped to shape me into the woman I am today and just how very important the job of Mommy's Light is. May you continue to have many pleasant memories of your traditions. Merry Christmas! Sara

Birthday Traditions
June 12, 2011
Hi! On this particular day I am thinking about how on each of my children's birthday's we baked together what they wanted for their birthdays! As we are baking I am flooded with very pleasant memories of baking with my mother for birthdays and other occasions, that I had not thought about in a long time! How sweet the memories! I then think how without consciously thinking about it, I just do what my mother had done with my brother and I. I feel blessed to know these simple traditions are ingrained in me and that I just do them. It warms me to think that some day my children may also automatically do this with their children and reinforces the thought of how needed Mommy's Light is to carry on these traditions. Sara
