Season's Greetings


(an very early (and blurry) version of our Christmas card that was too cute to scrap entirely)

Another advent idea we're going to start this year is to daily gather the Christmas cards that we've been blessed with and pray for the families that sent them. Then we'll display them on a ribbon that I still need to figure out how to hang. Jennisa uses a Christmas tree to display her cards which I think is fun too. Where do your cards end up?

    We have a big tree- and I usually tuck the cards in to our tree- so we can enjoy them. I have a basket for cards and letters too.
    Lovely card- so festive and cute!
    I love the idea of praying over the cards. I was hoping to start a new tradition this year- and that might just be it! THANKS! and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

    That card is cute! So excited to see the finished product! I always hang our Christmas cards around our doorframes. It's so much fun to see them accumulate!

    Love the praying for each family idea. You're full of 'em! And your Christmas card is too cute! I'd love to have you photograph our family sometime when we're back in MN visiting.

    Take care,

"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
