RED

I love anything green and growing in the middle of winter!

This lovely makes me happy every time I look at it!!

 

 

Ready for valentines day? I love that it is a sure sign

that spring is just around the corner!! See the numbers

I dumpster dived!! Love!

 

 

Happy Spring!!

I just read this book. It was profound.

I think each and everyone of us "walks"

everyday of our lives. We see good, bad and ugly.

Some days are hard and some easy.

Sadly I can't "Highly" recommend this book because the

 author uses the "f-word" and there are some pretty graphic scenes.

I did find it interesting and thought provoking.

a daring adventure

 or nothing at all!”

*I have had a headache for days!

*I like order.

*While strolling down the isles of DI this weekend

I found a bin of Restoration Hardware hardware . I couldn't have

been more pleased!!

*My nephew likes Bubbles more then me.

*I dumpster Dive like a DIVA!

*Some people talk so loud it reminds me of a FOG HORN!

*I love any sprouting things in the "spring" (Now!)

*I have a pain in the neck!

Oh no SNOW!!

 

I am always working on projects but not so good at taking

photos lately. Darn!

 

*The above is the favorite craft of all last month!

Easy, cute and so graphic! Oh and CHEAP!

 

*While driving w/ one of my special  needs friends I

noticed a large amount of snow on my car hood as did my friend.

She said loudly. "HONDA get that snow off your nose!!"

Makes me giggle just thinking about it!

 

*You think your life is tough? I heard this sweet girl speak today

and my word she is tough. Her husband went blind and her son

died and then came back and now has major disabilities! Not only that

she is cooking a baby in her belly in her spare time!!

 

*Today I video chatted w/ my nef. He had to leave and his mom prompted

"Say goodbye Fodie" He quickly got that shy look in his eye and put his chin

to his chest and said "Bye Fodie"!

So sweet I could eat him w/ a spoon!

 

*Today I was outta gas. I quickly ran to the gas station right

as a storm wall dumping down snow pellets

and blowing them down my neck.

I scream and danced around the whole time I was pumping gas

and then realized the place was packed. I am sure I looked darling!

 

Happy Spring!! (Kidding)

Today

 

 

 

 

Today:

 

*I tired to help my nephew make a darling

hand print in plaster to save forever.

He screamed like I was cutting

off his hand w/ a butter knife!

*I ran into a bestie randomly!

*I found some 3 dollar Toms! Love to Thrift!

*Reading WILD and listening to 

 The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

*Church doesn't start till 11:00 tomorrow!

*I spilled a soda all over my car. Not awesome!

*My nephew likes to just sit in a non moving car.

*Chickens can be bullies!

 

Good Night!

Elf!

 

 

 

I hate spending money on anything. I do however love a good product!

I ran into an ELF at Walmart yesterday!! I have been super impressed w/

the ELF products I have used...and I love the one dollar (on most) price!

Plus no shipping costs!! You can thank me later!!

 

Again!

 

I returned back to work today after nearly

a week off ....I nearly died!

Merry Christmas Eve!

*I visited my sweet little Eli yesterday!

 I gave him this book. He couldn't have been happier.

*Eli happiest baby alive!!

*Crying makes my eyes burn and headache FOREVER!

*I went to the dollar store yesterday and the shelves

were bare. It was like the world was coming to and end!

*I thought I locked my keys in my car yesterday and

nearly pooped my pants!

*The rear view mirror never lies!

*I hate black heads!

*I have missed the SUN!

All is calm all is bright!

 

Happy and Merry Christmas Eve!

Mittens!

 

*I am tired of the snow!

*I got stuck in my drive way last week while heading to work.

*I love a yummy nap!

*While at the store this weekend, I noticed a woman had something I wanted.

I asked her where she found it and she stated. "I'll run and get you a few!"

She reminded me of the joy of tiny thoughtfulnesses!

*I taught my Nef how to say Por Fa Vore!

*My even tinyer Nef thinks he can walk. Stay tiny Eli!

*I ran into a man w/ my cart this weekend..and it wasn't a tiny

run in and it was awkward.

*My brother thinks he is Santa and even looks like the Jolly old Soul!

*If I didn't have to go to Walmart for years, I'd be fine. I think I am over Walmarted!

*I sat by a newly engaged couple in church today...bad idea!

*I wish I could find some church shoes that I loved.

*My darling niece got braces. She looks like a teenaged.

*I hate scrapping my car!

*I love time off work. I wish it paid better!

 

Happy Christmas!

 

 

 

Crafting w/ a little!

I laid out all the supplies on the floor

and prompted my little "Nef" to come

and make a craft. He quickly noticed

the green poster board and went for a swim!

He rolled all over it and ran his hands over

the smooth surface. He loved crafting! I didn't

tell him their was more involved. Next time

I'll remember that it's the experience not the

outcome that matters most! I dare say

he loved his swim on the poster board

more then he ever loved swimming lessons!

Marbles!

 

 

 

Imagine war and violence

as the back drop for you childhood.

Imagine fleeing that to a world

of total newness.

Imagine only wanting marbles

 for Christmas!

A group of children who are refugees in the Salt Lake area

have asked for nothing more then marbles this year!

Let's make their days just a little bit better!

 

Have your children earn marbles for their chores!

Grab a bag while making ANOTHER trip to Walmart!

Use this act as a Family Home Evening Lesson!

 

Merry Christmas!!
