It seems so easy to say and comprehend..its only got two letters...Why do us woman have such a hard time saying it to each each other? Maybe its the perfectionist in me or simply I just hate hurting peoples feelings but i hate saying no to people. However, right now as I write I have said it 5 times all ready to Olivia! She is crawling EVERYWHERE! so my life has changed drastically. My floors are much cleaner, But i have to be on gaurd constantly. The blue lighted up on and off button on my monitor is calling her name... as i now have to teach her the meaning of "no" I am also trying to teach myself. when I'm asked of my time or attention I am figuring out that when I say yes to one person i have to say no to another and usually it's my kids who get the no part...thats not fair to them...I don't want them to think mommy' s favorite word is "no". The good thing is that i have been taught that it is ok to say yes and no...and who and what to say it to...."the essentials" deserve my yes's and the rest can wait...the hard part is applying the knowlege and direction i've recieved to action on a regular basis!! I have my good days don't get me wrong but I swear 'finding balance" right now with 3 little ones one being a baby is turning my world upside down!!! Luckily I have good people around who tell me "Im normal" thats a relief!!!

On another note...I am having a party thursday night for ALL of my friends in layton. I've mentioned before that I LOVE to share with people...especially people who have shared their kindness with me. SOOO I am having a "dusti's Favorites night" Where I will be sharing and showcasing alot of my FAVORITE tricks and secrets from cleaning to food storage to recipe's and hair bows..even having my FAVORITE treat....Chillis chips and salsa I am also compiling a list of my favorite blogs, websites and sayings that help me and giving them to those who come!! im hoping that others will do the same...cuz i would love to go to somebody else's favorite night too.

I want to do another one for all of you who are closer to salt lake and are dear to me as well!

love dusti
