Beetle juice

Julia squatted down on the kitchen floor tonight after dinner, looking extra cute in her red fleece robe and wet ringlets and squealed an exuberant "Hi!". She put her face right down by the floor and said it again, "Hi!!!"

Then she picked up my shoe and BAM!

No more boxelder bug.

    She must like boxelder bugs as much as her great grandmother did. One of the family stories handed down thru the years is when my mother wanted to get rid of the nasty bugs that were just all over one of the trees on the lawn. Someone had told her that if you put gas on them it would kill them and they would also take it back to the other bugs and kill them too. She did that, but they bugs still crawled all over the tree. (I remember the tree almost seemed like it was alive with all the bugs on it.) Well, she got really mad and lit the tree on fire. The neighbors saw the smoke, called the fire dept. and my mother never lived it down. Boy, did she get teased for that. They called her the Fire Bug Lady.

    That's hilarious!! My kids always run to me and say "get your flip-flop mom, there's a bug!" LOL. Nice that we teach them to be nice to God's creatures, huh??

"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.
