Not Me Monday - 30th edition

Welcome to Not Me Monday! It's been a while, but I think I still remember the program. If you need a refresher or want to participate yourself, head over to My Charming Kids. MckMama and Stellan are home safe and sound. Praise God!

If I could remember all the Not Me moments from the past 6 weeks it would (not) take me a week to type them all out, but since nobody wants to read them all and there are many I'd rather not rehash, I'll move on....

Or rather......sum up what I did (not) do the past couple of months:

First, there is (not) a long post from the beginning of April sitting on my computer waiting for me to finish. It will (not) continue to sit there for another month. Nope. I'm always up to date in my blogging! That's why I did (not) title the post "If I had time to blog". It does not include pictures of Julia's half birthday. Nope. Nothing like this photo...

There seems to be a hat theme going on around here. That is (not) because I'm bad about keeping Julia's curls tamed. Nope. I would never go 4 days without combing her hair. Not ME!

This hat wearing cutie has (not) been wearing undies for a week and blowing us away with her potty training skills. Nope. I would never brag about how easy it's been. Not a chance!
I am (not) sooooo angry that I can't find the third pair of ImseVimse training pants that Sam used two years ago. Nope. Not me! I keep track of everything and never lose expensive training pants. Never. I would never buy $15 training pants in the first place.

Sam hasn't been immune to my Not Me moments either. He won a bingo game at a local carnival on Saturday and I did (not) inform him that he was going to pick the stainless steel water bottle and not a toy. Nope. Not me! I'd never do that to him for the sake of getting a great water bottle for 50 cents.

Speaking of bargins, I was (not) over the moon about my great garage sale finds a couple of weeks ago. My excitment did (not) pale in comparison to the amazing results ($135) I got when I sold my kids clothes at a friend's garage sale. I did (not) go to her house expecting to pick up a few bags of leftovers only to discover there was only one little Target bag left. One.

What didn't YOU do this week?

"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
