Sunday Special

I just wanted to share a little something special that happened this past Sunday. It was just before 9 in the morning and Josiah and I were snuggled up in bed. We usually spend an extra 15 to 20 minutes in bed after we wake up and snuggle, nurse, talk, whatever, before getting out of bed to start our day (or in this case, get ready for church). So there we were in bed and I was making him laugh when all of a sudden he stopped, got quiet and gasped at me.

Learning Financial Responsibility

Lately I've been thinking about finances and the future. You see, I'm a stay at home mom (SAHM) and while I love every waking moment of this life, the unfortunate truth is that being a SAHM doesn't pay. At least not in dollars. As embarrassing as it is to admit, it's about time I learn how to REALLY be financially responsible.

Sticky Bug Monsters!

Happy New Year beautiful people! I pray you welcomed 2014 surrounded by family, friends and loved ones. We celebrated at our church and it was great! I look forward to enjoying my beautiful family this year and sharing them with you all as well! 

Sticky Fingers

One Sunday morning at church, before service began, I needed a way to keep Josiah entertained. He pointed to a roll of colored duct tape, so I put a piece on his hand and we pretended it was a bandage, or an "owie," as he calls it. It wasn't long before the owie lost it's fun factor and Josiah was bored again. Thats when I tried something new and it was a win with not only Josiah, but the other kids too!

Our Pretend "Date"

Having two babies in the house, they do a lot of playing (and fighting) with one another. Last night was pretty special though. Lily went to bed early while Josiah stayed up playing with our new-to-us kitchen/diner set. I've been in awe at the two of them lately because they've started really getting into pretend play, especially with this kitchen set and the new one at our church as well.

Real Snow for Warm Weather Winters

Something Crazy happened last night! What's wrong with this picture, can you tell? Palm trees and snow?! Snow in Florida? That has to be fake, Right? 

Ok yes. Well, yes and no. Let me explain… 

Felt Christmas Tree with Gift Bag "Pockets"

Christmas is right around the corner and this momma is happy to FINALLY be done with classes for the semester! My last paper really kicked my butt and kept me away from the blog for longer than I expected. But it's over now and I am here and ready to serve you! 

I've been busy (between finals and papers) thinking up and working on a few fun ideas for the kiddies and I am maybe a little bit TOO excited to share with you our latest creation!
