Happy 100 to Me!


I was about to go to sleep and after visiting my friend Amy's Blog and Etsy Store, I decided to check on "who hearts " My Etsy Store and I hit 100 today, yippee!!!!!

Now how to celebrate......

The Scale Has Broken

My Scale broke today (no, not from my standing on it). At first I thought it may be an answered prayer but then I realized it is most likely a result of my kids who love to play with it. One thing I will miss about it though is Chase's interesting " weigh ins"

He loves to tell me that his hands weigh two zero, his feet weigh four zero and his head weighs zero. I can see him now......he presses down on the scale with his hands getting it close to twenty. Then he stands on it (getting his actual weight of 40 pounds), then he puts his head on it but in order to see what it weighs, he has to lift his head giving him a zero.......sigh......these moments remind me why I love having kids!

Little Ways to Say... I LOVE YOU!

Growing up, breakfast was always a big thing. My mom always made sure to start off the day right with a good meal. When I became a mom, this tradition was passed on. I love to find fun ways to present breakfast just a little different to make them smile. A favorite with my 4 year old has been Alien Pancakes but today I thought I'd suprise them with a little reminder that I "heart" them!
Even though they are rough and tough boys they are big ol' softies when it comes to their mom!
Even Coopergot in on the fun!

Calling All Prayers

When Jonas was just a baby, my sister-in-law and I had a wonderful babysitter named Erin. Through the years, she became part of the family. After my first husband and I divorced I still remained close to him and most of his family and also to Erin. Then, the greatest thing happened- and she and my ex-husband began dating a few years ago. It is such an amazing thing to have someone you adore and trust become "the other mommy" to your child. If I have to share part of my role as a mom to Jonas, at least I get to share it with someone like Erin!

Last Wednesday, Erin went to the emergency room because she was dizzy and vomiting. They found a tumor on the base of her brain stem and she has been in the hospital ever since because she is at risk for seizures because of the swelling of her brain. Today they are going to perform brain surgery to try to remove and biopsy the tumor.....did I mention it is all taking place while she is awake!!! Because of the position of the tumor, it is a risky surgery. If you can find time to say a small prayer for her today, I know it can help!

Thank-you!!
