"It is only by introducing

the young

to great literature, drama,

and music,

and to the excitement

of great science,

that we open to them

the possibilities

that lie within the human spirit--

enable them to see visions

and dream dreams."

It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work.

It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."

brings happiness

trust the Creator

for all I have not seen."

that is to go that way yourself."

"We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Cleaning and scrubbing

can wait 'til tomorrow.

For babies grow up,

we learn to our sorrow.

So quiet down cobwebs!

Dust, go to sleep!

I'm rocking my baby,

and babies don't keep!"

Oct. 13, 2009 - I Won!

I am the very happy winner of a Yankee candle from Sarah over at Peace in the Puzzle.

I have never owned a Yankee candle before, though I did know they exist.  I just don't often get out to shop anywhere that they are sold.  I do like the scent of a good candle and Autumn is my favorite time of the year for burning candles.  Sarah picked out a Pumpkin Pie scented candle and I'm not sure how, but somehow it smells even better than the real pumpkin pies that I made a week ago.  It is divine!  All of my children kept saying, "Let me smell it again," when we first opened it.  Now we are all enjoying the aroma as it burns in our living room. 
Thank you, Sarah!  We love it!

The only problem is that I like it so well that I might just have to buy more Yankee candles when this one is done.

So, what is your favorite candle scent?
Please Share a Thought!

I love Yankee candles too!! They are addicting. I haven't tried the pumpkin pie scent, but you've got to try the Christmas Cookie candle at Christmastime. :-)

I like the pomegranate one. I can't remember the exact name. And I do have macintosh spice, which is really wonderful. I enjoy alot of them. Our store on base sells them, so I get them there. I had to get rid of any I had in Japan because they won't pack them and now I'm starting over. I usually get one for Christmas from my kids. Enjoy!

Yay!! You are welcome! I'm so glad you all are enjoying it. It looks so pretty there in front of...your wedding photo, is it? I think candles are so cozy, their little flames sure warm my home.
