On our grocery list this week was tea! This makes me giggle and do a little woo-hoo, because I love tea. I bought a new tea by Celestial Seasonings it is Vanilla Apple White. White tea is typically not one of my favorites, but it sounded yummy! On the side of the box is a quote that I thought I would share.

Diamonds and fancy cars don't make a life we remember. It's the quiet picnics in the orchard, the sudden yellow of a dandelion bursting through a crack in the sidewalk, and hot sand between your toes at the beach. It's a small child grabbing your hand, the ecstasy of puppy tails welcoming you home. These are our everyday treasures, what we take with us as we drift into slumber and what welcomes us back to each new day.

I agree!

Yum!!!! I tried a white tea (I can't remember what flavor now) at a wonderful tea house we stumbled upon in Cathlamet, Washington that has since sold their business. It was delicious and the memory even more so! Thanks for stirring it up and enjoy your tea!
P.S. Makes me think: I'd sure like to share a pot of tea with you someday!!!

I was just random blogging---actually I typed in the search section "raising godly children" and your blog came up. I love your site and your words on the page came right from my heart also. Since this summer, the Lord has been putting parents/children in my path that are not fun/easy to be with. I think he is using me for something. : I felt like I needed a boost with other like-minded moms. It is so hard to be the one "teaching" all the time. I am not perfect; I don't have all the answers. It is just nice to sit back and be with children who are enjoyable to be with; and to read about parents who have the same mindset. Thanks for your posts. :)
