Currently I am....

Reading this book. So far so good. I asked a great friend of mine if she would be willing to meet with me and tell me her secrets of organizing her home. I tell you she is fantastic....have you guessed who it is yet?? Yep she has kids.....3 of them in fact. (amy bayley is her name :) You can go to her house and it always seems in order. I have always wondered how she did it. So instead of wondering my whole life I decided to ask her for help. Before we met she wanted me to read a few chapters in this book. It really was eye opening to me. It showed me that it was so much more than "keeping a tidy home" And yes she is blessed to be organized, but I really think she is doing it for the Lord.



Proverbs 31:27 She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.

I am excited to let the Lord teach me this truth and to seek Him in what I should do with my time. For a long time I always made the excuse of not having quiet time. Well I did away with that lie. I am now going to work towards using my time that I am given to give Him glory in everything that I do. I feel like I finally understand what that means in a way.


Thanks Amy for being such a Godly example in my life! Your friendship means a lot to me.


Also if there is anyone out there that wants to read through the book with me and talk about it I would love that!

i HEART this one


I think this is my best one yet! I have pretty much got the hang of the boning and excited that it can be removed in and out. Hope you like it as well and that you are telling all your friends :) I really think that sewing is my new therapy.

Oh and if you want to buy it....click on the link to the left of the page.

Haircuts




The kids got their haircuts this week. We usually let Dallas' hair grow and grow until we can't put up with it any longer. He HATES getting his hair cut, but I am pretty proud of him. He did the best yet!! I gave him the option to go to a salon or for me to cut it and you can see the choice ;)
Reese wanted to cut her hair like her friend Jaclyn. Pretty cute. It is a inverted bob.
And if you or your kids need a haircut......Great Clips is only 7.99 until January 27th :)

Best of both worlds...


Thank you all so much for your ideas and encouragement. I sold one so far ;) I am excited to see where this will go. And if I only make them for friends it will still be fun. I added boning to this one so that you be able to see the baby at all times. What do you think?? Should this be a must for all of them or just an option?? I am thinking I may just have the boning removable??

Hideaway Nursing Cover



Man do I ever have a hard time making decisions! I really like the name Hideaway, but it is not my favorite. If you are wondering who the winner is....it is myself ;) I was thinking today of another name "the Ultra Modest Girl" To many words probably. Anyway....here are few choices I have at the moment. Tell me what you think. I am not really sure what direction to take in this. Is this something that you would prefer over the Hooter Hider?? Tell the truth....
And if you are wondering what the back looks like. It is the same as the front. 20$?

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"

the things they say...

Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)
