What am I sewing, crocheting, knitting, or creating:::
Still hoping to start on an apron for Sydney


Looking around my house:::
The kids are picking up their rooms, the cilantro lime chicken is cooking in the crockpot and it smells so good, and the fire is going in the fireplace.  Everything is so relaxed.


From the camera:::



Something fun to share:::
Yesterday, Shawn's family came out and visited us.  We spent the afternoon working in our garage. Thanks to their wonderful help, we have cleaned out so much trash and things to give away.  We still have one more afternoon's worth of work, but at least we have room in the garage now.

On my prayer list:::
My in-laws and then myself as I work to make a decision that will affect not only myself, but my whole family as well.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag.
