Riley's class had their Guidance lesson this week at school and she came home talking to us about what it means to have "perseverance". She had to write a sentence and draw a picture of herself working towards a goal she has for herself. She drew herself with a circle around her waist and wrote, "I want to learn to hoola hoop and I will not give up." While this little clip from last weekend's bird house building extravaganza has nothing to do with hoola hooping, I thought it was a great example of "Perseverance in Action"!
Originally referenced during World War I, when soldiers wrote home telling family they were "living the good life" or “the life of Riley,” the phrase suggests an ideal life of prosperity and contentment. That my dear friends, family and fellow bloggers is the utopia that Mike and I strive to create for our little Riley everyday! As arrogant as it sounds, we along with the help of God, family and friends feel that we are doing a pretty good job so far!
Former elementary school teacher turned "at home mom" and wife to a great husband and daddy. I firmly believe that family is the most important thing in this world and have first hand experience belonging to a great family myself!
