Home Can Be a Heaven on Earth

When I met Addie she was going to school to be an elementary school teacher.  One of the conversations I loved having with people when I first meet with them is what their plans are for their future career.  When I asked Addie what her plans were she smiled and basically said well right now I am working on plan B, plan A what I really want to do is be a stay at home mom. 

Well its been four years since that conversation and Addie is living her dream, but even better than that she is making her dream contagious.  It seems like everyone she influences including me has a greater desire to make their home a better place.  Addie has created a beautiful feeling in our home.  We have a little piece of heaven in this 70 year old house!

Addie puts in alot of hours into her job; I thought I worked long hours as an accountant but she, she starts her day at 7 am and then decides every day to put in overtime and stay up with me and spend time with me.  Almost every day she is either baking:  bread, cookies, muffins, buns, bagels, or BABIES!!!  Every week including her first week home from the hospital she heads over to the library with the kids so they can play and dance with other kids.  She takes the kids to the park, she dances with them in the living room, she snuggles them on the couch, and then she will read them books for hours just to hear them laugh!

When I come home our house is usually a mess but our home is in such great order!  Our home is a heaven on earth because it is filled with love.  Thank you Addie for building our home with love.  Thank you for all you do that goes unnoticed and unmentioned every day!  Thank you for bringing smiles to our faces then capturing those smiles on our blog so our family can remember them for generations to come!

We love you and cherish all you do!  On behalf of the Stannix Family and all those you have positively influenced happy Mother's Day sweetie!

Isn't she beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
