The Nopestead

"A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society." So today and every other day, thank you for being my best friend, my rock, and my husband. Thank you for being the most amazing father, provider, and role model for our boys and baby girl. Thank you for everything you have done, continue to do, and have sacrificed for all of us. You never cease to amaze me and I'm so incredibly honored and humbled to call you mine. Happy Father's Day to my husband and all the other dads out there! Thank you for everything you do for us all!

"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for."

“Advice from a sunflower. Be bright, sunny, and positive. Know your roots. Spread seeds of happiness. Rise, shine, and hold your head up high. Keep on growing. Even on the darkest days, stand tall and find the sunlight.”

Never a dull moment.🐝 🙏

“The power of finding beauty in the humblest things makes home happy and life lovely.”

"Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul."

‘In ordinary life, we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.'

"Don’t you see the plants, the birds, the ants and spiders and bees going about their individual tasks, putting the world in order, as best they can? And you’re not willing to do your job as a human being? Why aren’t you running to do what your nature demands?" — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 5.1
