Hi! I'm Kristin, Madison's mom. Madison has allowed me to write a guest post on her blog today, and I am uber excited about sharing what I believe are the top tens ways to a better life, no matter how old you are, where you live, or what circumstance you may find yourself in. If you are visiting Madison's blog I hope you are inspired by the top ten ways to a better life, and hopefully Madison will invite me back for future guest posts.

So, without further ado... The TOP TEN ways to a better life...

#10... Don't Envy what others have. Learn to be happy with what you have been given. Find contentment in your own life and find something to be thankful for everyday!

#9... Don't Lie... Shoot straight and never allow your tongue to be crooked. Always make sure you speak the truth. Lying can literally make you sick and bring bad things into your life.

#8... Don't Steal... including others joy and peace..

#7...Don't have boyfriends or girlfriends when you are married... simply learn the importance of keeping your promise, making a commitment and sticking to it. Being faithful in what you say and do.

#6... Don't Kill...including others Spirits.

#5... Obey your mom and day... Learn to honor and obey your authority because that is where you are protected.

#4... Keep the Sabbath day Holy... Learn the importance of rest, worship, connection, and growth.

#3... Don't use the Lord's name in a flippant or bad way.. Make sure to have the utmost respect for the very one who made you.

#2... Don't make false idols.. Never devote yourself to something that is not true or not real.

And the #1 way to your better life... Put the one true God above everything else... then everything else in life will fall in order. There you will have peace and harmony.. A BETTER LIFE!! :)

my shoulder buddie...

My grandmother (the one i call meme) got me and my brother each a Shoulder Buddie. I got Pep and he got Ace. Shoulder Buddies are little creatures that sit on your shoulder. you put a magnet under your shirt and place the creatures on top 0f the little magnet. that have really soft hair that you can brush and fix. i like mine because it has different colored hair that i like to put in a bow. i wear mine around the house. the magnet that they come with has their name and symbol on the front and their pic on the back. They have a star on there butt, their eye, and on their symbol that is on their belly. They don't have arms, they only have legs. I think that's OK because they are always sitting. They have a bird beak and a lot of other stuff. that is all i have to say about sholder buddies. i will post some pics of shoulder buddies above. i hope you enjoy them.

Frankies Fun Park

Today me, Andrew, Bryson, Avery, my mom, and my dad all went to Frankie's fun park. It was so much fun! I did this one game where i won 150 tickets. in the end i had 246 tickets. I bought a hole bunch of stuff with that many tickets. I got 11 items total. I got...

• 1 butterfly hare pin
• 1 squishy dinosaur
• 4 plastic air plains
• 1 cackler
• 1 Juled ring
  
• 1 plastic sticky frog
• and a set of teddy bear ear phones

That is all the stuff i got at Frankie's fun park. We played lots of games and did rides. The most favorite thing i did was do the go-carts with dad. We each got are own carts. We also went in the fun house. It was HUGE!!! There was these 3 girls who had over 3500 tickets. I got to keep the card that let us do all the rides and games. I am going to put it in a scrap book.

me and my terets syndrome

I found out a wile ago that i had another disorder besides my AD/HD and my dyslexia. I have a disorder called terets syndrome. terets syndrome is a disorder where you have ticks, unwanted movements or noises. i have noticed that my ticks go out of control sometimes, most of the times when i am nervous or upset, but most of the times i can control then pretty well. you might think that i would be completely humiliated by this. well, surprisingly, i am not. it does make me me seem kind of weird sometimes but this is just the way god made me and i like it.who knows, maby i can reach a lot of people with my treats syndrome.

Spring, Spring

poem by: Madison

Spring is a time when you sit, holding hands, in a field of wild flowers with that special boy you like.

Spring is a time when you go outside and blow bubbles with your best friend.

Spring is a time when you go ride bikes with your little brother and he almost falls off.

Spring is a time to help your mom with yard work, or start a car wash to earn some extra bucks.

Spring is a time to be happy and joyful.

Beware of Under the Bed..

Poem: by Madison Spehar

Did you hear of the monster under your bed?
I hear it is big, and scary, and possibly red.
He eats eye balls for breakfast and YOU for dinner.
And you were wondering why you keep getting thinner.
He has fangs, and very sharp horns.
Some people say they are as sharp as thorns.
His eyes are big, red, and scary.
Once he ate a cucumber named Larry.
His horns and fangs are draped in blood.
He's covered in slime, dirt, and mud.
So,beware of the monster under the bed.
Or YOU may become big, scary, and red.
