Grandma's is awesome!

We get to hang out, get spoiled, and play in the pool!

Stronger

Every morning I get to work at a different time.  This ranges anywhere from 5-8. Every day for the last at least two weeks as I pull into work the same song comes on the radio.

I wonder how many other people need this reminder from Mandisa each day to get through the work day!!

Morning Happy

This weekend I found a wrapped Christmas present (from at least two Christmas' ago) in my car under the passenger seat that had been left from the previous owner.  Since the previous owner was my mom, and I recognized the paper, I tore it open as soon as I got inside.  The gift is a book called Jesus Calling  by Sarah Young.  Frequently I have to chuckle at how God works through the little things.  If it was anyone but my mom I am sure the person who would have "lost" the book would have been upset at the time and wondered where it went.  (I know my mom bought extras in case extra people came that night.)  It was no accident that the book fell under the seat and no one found it for years until I did this weekend.  Just when I needed it.  I found the entry for today rather fitting and thought I would share.

"APPROACH EACH NEW DAY with desire to find Me.  Before you get out of bed, I have already been working to prepare the path that will get you through this day.  There are hidden treasures strategically placed along the way.  Some of the treasures are trials, designed to shake you free from earth-shackles.  Others are blessings that reveal My Presence: sunshine, flowers, birds, friendships, answered prayer.  I have not abandoned this sin-wracked world; I am still richly present in it. 


Search for deep treasure as you go through this day. You will find Me along the way. 


Colossians 2:2-3; Isaiah 33:6 "

TLC is out to get me...

This is not entirely true because all of the results end up being positive money savers. However, I am not sure how people are supposed to find time for all of the DIY items they have shows for. That being said...I want to start extreme couponing just like their new show. After seeing someone pay $103 for $1900 worth of groceries how can you not feel guilty shopping unless you coupon??

Exactly!

You can't.

So I am now brainstorming a spreadsheet system that will help me with this. Hopefully, there will be big savings this weekend...

Best Card Ever

The one good thing about not getting to spend my days with my munchkin is that she had time to make me a wonderful Mother's Day card. (Thanks Miss Patty!)





Can you believe she is only 16 months old?! She is a rock star.


...and she knows it.

Babies galore!

It seems like everyone is having babies these days. One of my favorite gifts for a coworker was these baby sundaes.


Which include: a sippy cup, spoon, onesie, bib, and wash cloth in each. We put the sundaes together with some burp cloths








...and a few other baby goodies to make a fun basket.
