Like a thick, juicy steak

I spent a few minutes drooling over Kelly's blog book that arrived in the mail yesterday. Then it was time to pack it up and send it off to New York in time for Jake's second birthday.


I've made 120 page wedding albums before, but this was the first time seeing how hefty a 228 page blog book can be.

Here it is sandwiched between two of my 40 page books.


Page after page of Jake's first year....Here's his baptism spread.


From cover to cover the memories will forever be preserved for their family.


Next up....
300 pages for Joel and Jenny. Have I mentioned how much I love my job?

    Those are wonderful! I hope to save up for one of those someday--it will make me feel better about not scrapbooking!
    Love, love, love your new layout!

    What is ECFE? You blogged about it last September...it is like preschool only moms go too?
    I'd e-mail you but I deleted ALMOST my entire inbox so Cedarville didn't kick me out of their system for using up so much space...and for some stupid reason I deleted ALL your addresses. GRRRR
    Do they have ECFE everywhere or just in MN?

    Can't wait to see it in person! Thanks again Carrie for all the amazing work and time and energy you put into producing this beautiful book for me! So amazing to see all of the posts in one (HUGE!) volume! :)

    YEAH! :)

    Oh that is SO COOL! I'm dying of jealousy over here! I'd love to have one of those for Vivienne but I fear I haven't done a very good job of chronicling the "little moments" that would go into a book like this. I have a million pictures of her, but so few of them are of "real life", know what I mean? Hmmm...Maybe when she's a bit older I can try to see what there is to salvage and send some more work your way ;)

"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!

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...

My Birthday Wish

Today is my 33rd birthday. So far I've celebrated by cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming, and washing clothes. My birthday happened to fall on a Monday - the day we set a few hours aside for me to do some of the cleaning that I just don't have time for during the work week. I love it. I get that immediate sense of accomplishment. I see results. I finished a task. Oh how that makes my heart happy!!!!! In my line of work it can be months before I can check a project off my list. All the while it nags at me and weighing me down like a ton of bricks that projects are waiting for me. Don't get me wrong, I love love love my job, but I also love that instant gratification that comes with checking something off my list. So when Mondays roll around I am happy to pick up my dust cloth or a basket of laundry....even on my birthday. I don't have any great birthday reflections for today....maybe another day. Instead I want to share my birthday wish with you dear readers. What I wan...
