Alphabitty Moments - The letter J

I REALLY struggled with the letter 'J' this time. I could not come up with a word to fit the theme of Alphabitty Moments (If you are new here click on the A.M. label on the right hand side for details on what exactly an Alphabitty Moment really is.) Then it hit me square between the eyes. All those photos I was scrolling through on my phone of Elsa laughing and enjoying the simplest things was exactly what I want to capture with this project. So rather than honing in on a specific activity or habit of hers I backed up and looked at the bigger picture.

Being a toddler is all about finding JOY in the little things.

Little things that bring Elsa joy right now include:
Peanut butter smeared on an apple slice
Daddy chasing her across the room
Sam pulling her on a blanket
Watching Penny pop bubbles
Singing Slippery Fish with Mommy
Seeing Josie and Amelia when we walk into church
Hearing Julia walk into the house after school
Being out of the stroller at the mall
Riding down the hill in a sled with Sam
Throwing her pacifier across the room

and.......

Hugging every.single. stuffed animal at Target 


J is for Joy and boy is she full of it!!!!

What Alphabitty Moment do you want to remember this week?

    "J" for "Joy" is a good one. I think younger kids, especially, just really embody what joy is all about.

"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...
