A pessimest sees the

difficulty in every opportunity.

An optimist sees the opportunity

in every difficulty.

If you haven't checked out the blog French By Design, you must do so now!! I've found some of the best quotes (like this one) and coolest design ideas on this blog. The only problem with it is that it makes me want to go to Paris right now, which I can't do. Oh well, I can dream.

Quotes Wednesday

I just saw the new Dr. Seuss movie The Lorax this weekend in the theater, so I figured that a Seuss quote was appropriate for today. Here's one of my favorites, from i can read.

Quotes Wednesday

I just checked the book Cannery Row out from the library. It's one of the few John Steinbeck books I haven't read. So I figured a Steinbeck quote would be appropriate for today.

We spend our time searching for security, 

and hate it when we get it.

-John Steinbeck

Quotes Wednesday

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. 

-Eleanor Roosevelt

Quotes Wednesday

...when in doubt, choose the kids. 

There will be plenty of time later 

to choose work.

Quotes Wednesday

Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun; 

as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday. 

- Eleanor Roosevelt

I'm officially changing the name of Chalkboard Quotes Wednesday to Quotes Wednesday. There's too many fun places to write quotes to limit it to chalkboards! I felt like today's quote belonged more on my daughter's easel, in the midst of her scribbles. 

Happy Wednesday!

This week's Chalkboard Quote Wednesday is a little different, because the quote isn't on a chalkboard. I really like this printable freebie from Lime Lane with a sweet little quote. Click the link to see more of Lime Lane's great posts, and to get your free printable. Happy Wednesday.

I found this one on 74 Lime Lane that totally applies to me. She's put together a great set of quotes in her Blogtoberfest quote collection. Definitely worth checking out, lots of great quotes for inspiration. I also like this one, this one, and this one.

I haven't done Chalkboard Quote Wednesdays in a while, mostly because our big kitchen chalkboard is filled with too much important stuff for me to erase it all and then write it again. But fortunately we have more than one chalkboard in our house, and I'm not sure why I hadn't thought to use one of them before now! This is a vintage chalkboard I got on Etsy that's in our downstairs playroom. I love this chalkboard, and I love this quote, and of course I've always been the #1 fan of Dr. Seuss.

Speaking of reading, I joined a mom's book club in my town which met for the first time last week. The first book we read was A Dog's Purpose, by W.Bruce Cameron. I really liked it, it's an easy read and a light subject. The next one is The Wrong Mother, by Sophie Hannah. Supposedly it's a suspense novel that's good for Halloween month. Happy Wednesday!

Ok these quotes aren't really on a chalkboard, but they'll have to do.
