What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I'm working on a birthday banner currently and also organizing old family photos into photo albums. I also need to get back into my crochet.

Looking forward to:::
Easter this weekend and Scottie's birthday tomorrow. I can't believe my baby is turning 5!

Looking around the house:::
It's a quarter to 9 and Scottie is opening up all of her presents she got at her party yesterday. The trash pile on my kitchen counter is growing by the minute. The big kids are at school and the house could use some picking up from the kids messes all weekend. Shawn's working upstairs and says he may wrap some presents while listening to his work training.

From the camera:::
Right before Scottie's birthday party yesterday. They big kids and Shawn had run down the street to do the very last of her birthday shopping, so we sat in the car right outside the party place and waited for them to help us carry the cake and cooler inside. She was so excited. It was her first big party with friends and we invited her whole preschool class as well as a few kiddos we're friends with outside of that.



What I'm wearing today:::
At the moment, jeans and a black v neck tshirt. I'm sure in a bit I'll change into shorts.     

One of my simple pleasures:::
Nice hot coffee on a chilly morning.

Bible verse, Devotional, prayers::: 
Praying for good news back on a friend's test results. 
Also praying for an easy dentist trip with Ben. He's getting a cavity filled and his last 2 baby teeth pulled since they aren't coming out at all and his adult teeth are crowding. He's nervous, so praying for his calming too.

So good to see you posting on the blog :)

I hope Scottie has a fantastic birthday, it's crazy that she is 5 years old, what in the world, I remember you pregnant with her.

I hope you have a super fantastic week my friend, and yes, I got my mammogram results back yesterday and everything is normal :)

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

By
Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. 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. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

By
This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
