Yep, writing this at 12:52 AM. Just finished 4 hours of work on the kitchen computer…and, unfortunately, it was “real office work” work. Yuck. So, getting up in 3 1/2 hours to hit the treadmill…not seeing it in my future. The past couple of weeks have just been ROUGH at our house. I think one

Things I’ve Been Meaning to Do
Things I’ve been meaning to do: 1. Go through these hand-me-downs a friend brought over last week for Henry. Or at least move them out of the front living room: 2. Hang this frame that I put together months ago. I think it’s Charlotte…but maybe it’s Stella. Nope, just checked the desk. It’s definitely Charlotte…been meaning to
Hair Bow Party Favors and Blog Party Updates
A few weeks ago a friend decided to go with a Spring Fling theme for her 3-year old’s upcoming 4th birthday party. She sent me the picture of this plate that she chose to use: So…for her party favors, I created these flower hair bows: Not too bad, right? Her eldest willing be having her
Lean Cuisine Spring Rolls – This Saturday’s Shout-Out
Anyone tried these yet? YUMMY. I like the Thai-Style and Fajita-Style. Both are very good. And the best part? TWO servings in one box. Frugal me says…Yay!

10K Tuesday – Crafting for a Cause
So…there was no 10K training this past week. I experienced a sinus migraine for the first time ever last Monday evening. And it never truly went away until Saturday. And I had early morning meetings this past week. And it rained. And then the temperature dropped 30 degrees. And then Henry got sick and didn’t
And Then I Figured If They Can Keep Adopting Kids, We Could Take One More Paper Kid
Backstory: Three weeks ago after church you could grab a paper “kid” from the board in the foyer to take home. Each “kid” had a real name and address of one of the children about to have his/her First Communion. Instructions were to pray for this child and his/her family and possibly send a card to him/her

Gentle Vapors – This Saturday’s Shout-Out
With all of the sinus gunk in our house this week, these vapor plug-ins are AWESOME. We use them in Henry’s room and he sleeps so much better. If you haven’t tried them, you can find them at Target or Walmart. And it’s even a night-light. I’m so glad a friend suggested them – THANK
