hair today, gone tomorrow Saturday


Saturday marks the one year anniversary of when baby Noah went to Heaven. In honor of him many people around the country are donating 10 inches (or more) of their hair to Locks of Love.
I've never met Noah's mom, Adrienne - came really close once when we were in Colorado, but it doesn't matter. She's impacted my life regardless. Her story, which I suggest you read from the very beginning of her journey, is one of faith and love like I've never seen before.
Just think of all the women sitting in salon chairs on Saturday telling their story - their connection to Noah and his family. It gives me goose-bumps just thinking about it! To God be the glory!

    That's so great of you. I started reading Noah's story last December. Ad and her family are truly amazing and so full of strength, aren't they? I can't wait to see the new 'do. If only I had 10 inches to spare.

    Wow, I just spent the last 2 hours reading her blog. I am so inspired by her strength and love for her family.

    Our family has gone through some trials over the last two years since my son was born, but nothing in comparison.

    It breaks my heart to see her in so much pain still, but I can completley understand, as we "lost" our son at one point. He was however brought back to us. We still haven't healed from that, so I would imagine that her pain is much greater than I could ever imagine.

    What a great thing to be donating ot locks of love.

    I'm looking forward to going with you on Saturday. What a lovely photo of you and your hair and wonderful daughter and what a clever post title, too. And, most importantly, what an amazing tribute to Noah you will make.

    Oh Kelly! I didn't know you were donating too! That's awesome! I saw you had commented that you hoped your hair grew a bit more before the 12th and I guess I was thinking that it wasn't quite long enough for the 10 inch minimum. Mine is going to be soooo short - I barely have the minimum myself. Can't wait to see what you do with yours! Good luck! I wish you could join Jennifer and I at the salon in the morning.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
