Dont Ever Give Up

Don't let any one stop you from making your dreams come true, despite other unfavorable circumstances. If your unhappy change it, life is so short, live and do what makes you happy. Here are ten of my favorite quotes, never ever ever ever give up on your dreams!

1. "Don't delay action on a good idea, chances are someone else has just thought of it, too! Success comes to those who act first!"

 2. "If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you dontt ask, the answers always no. If you don't step forward then you'll always be in the same place."

 3. "Even if your on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."

 4. "Failure is no more permanent condition than success. For even if you succeed, there's still another test."

 5. "Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang, except those that sang best."

 6. "I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. Ive lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over again in my life. And that why I succeed!" -Michael Jordan

7. "When ocstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal, you dont change your decision to get there."

8. "It takes both rain and sunshine to make a rainbow."

9. "The only person who can really motivate you is you! So believe in yourself!"

10. "Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; while others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than before."

11. One more: "It's easier to go down a hill than up it, but the view from the top is breath taking."

Dont ever give up on your dreams!

Mamas Top 3 Superficial Wish List

A heart monitor watch that calculates calories and heart rate while you get your workout on. I love anything pertaining to fitness and improving lifestyles! In addition, I have the biggest passion for vanilla everything and vanilla candles are my all time weakness, specially unique vanilla aromas such as this one:) Lastly, in order to make perfectly plated meals, one must have all the right tools in order to do so. Mini spring pans are kind of challenging to locate:) My Wish list is way different from Mr. Stauffers I have a strange feeling his would all relate to his pride possession... his car:)

Kova meets Enzo!

Kova's birthday puppy!

10 Week old baby Enzo

OK, I guess Ill explain... Initially we had rescued a Pit bull from the shelter, we took her home and named her Bree. She was an amazing dog that Kova and Jimmy fell in love with. However, having a big dog was a big shock for 2 very new first time dog owners. Big dog equalled big poop, big baths, big walks, big allergies and no room on the bed or couch. So we found a great family that was dying to meet her and who fell in love as quickly as us if not sooner. About 2 months later my family continued to bring up Bree's name and were heart broken and I knew I needed to mended the wound that was still slightly there. So with lots of research and lots luck we found a puppy dachshund and Jimmy and I both agreed that this would be the perfect gift for our soon to be two year old. We found a perfect fit for our family and Enzo already feels at home. Any tips or good puppy advice we would love it:) Love the Stauffer family:)

Do your ears hang low
