I have so many wonderful memories of my childhood… vacations, church camp, sportting events and the like. Those are cherrished memories that I have and now as as mom I love knowing that each day is an opportunity for me to make those memories with my family. What memories are you making today?

Winnie the Pooh Quotes

December 28, 2011 — Leave a comment

My husband will appreciate this post, he loves Winnie the Pooh. In fact we even dressed Eli up as Winnie the Pooh for Halloween this year and yes, he was adorable! The great thing about these quotes is that they have a good meaning and are from children’s books, read them to your children now and they will treasure these stories, quotes and memories when they grow older… just like my husband. Here is the collection I put together of Winnie the Pooh quotes by A.A. Milne.

“A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference.”

“You can’t stay in your corner of the forest, waiting for others to come to you; you have to go to them sometimes.”

“Sometimes,’ said Pooh, ‘the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”

“Think, think, think.”

“The things that make me different are the things that make me.”

“Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
