This and That

I usually eat strawberry yogurt cheerios for breakfast but bought Special K with Strawberries this week. I am trying to shop more at Costco and they didn't have my cheerios. Well, I also bought some dried blueberries. I put those in my cereal and boy a boy what a good tasting combo and healthy to boot. Can't go wrong with that.

A few other things that are good and I just plain can't live without honestly are Collagen and Elastin lotion by Saint Ives (Dan and I both love love love this lotion), milk, and sweet tea (keep the hubby happy). That is all I can think of. Dan loves consistency so he eats a lot of the same things. I pretty much only like consistency in Dan. I like to change things up every once in a while.

I am very excited to say I may be getting a new lap top this month. I want one so so much. This computer likes to randomly shut down so if I am working on something and I can't save it or haven't yet, its gone. I hate that. This computer also can't do to many things at the same time as in it can only do one thing at a time. I used to play solitaire when my shows were at commercials, as in watching shows on the internet, but it can't handle that. We have netflix but can't watch the movies on the internet 'cause it can't handle that either. Oh, yeah and as a side note, our VCR/DVD machine broke this week. Bummer. We have a DVD player though to replace it. Anyway, I'm excited about a new lap top. I've got so much I want to do but can't yet until then...like a particular blog I've mentioned every so vaguelly.

I had a great prayer and Bible study time this morning. I read a verse in Deuteronomy that talked about impressing upon, talking about, teaching the Big 10 to our kids. I haven't even read those commandments in forever so I went over a couple again. Then I dissected that verse on how to impress upon, talk about, teach the Big 10. That leads me to my question. I would love love love you parents out there to write a comment on any special things you did with your kids to help them learn the 10 Commandments or any other important scripture. Please share, enquiring mommy wants to know.

Buy your kids the bigger toy and then they won't covet the neighbor's toy. HAHA Just kidding! I make sure Ashlyn sees extreme poverty so she can be grateful for her blessings in life.

I'm with you on that one Julie. One thing I really want for Sarah is that she be absolutely comfortable with as many different people as possible; people who are rich or poor, of every nationality, different religions, hippies, preppies, bookworms and out door types, those who like to talk a lot and those who prefer silence etc. I know the place that starts is being confident in who she is as an individual, not cocky or self absorbed, but accepting of herself.

Here's another one: Thou shall honor thy mother and father by not pooping and peeing all over the house while I'm trying to potty train you! Boys are like little puppies just marking their territory. God help me... are there any potty training prayers?

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

My second greatest creation!

I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

Inspiration

So, I am reading this book, $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. I'm not planning on starting a business or anything. Its just super inspirational. I like inspirational people. I have this friend, Kathrine who is the best sewing person, sewer or whatever you call it in the whole world. When inspiration strikes, she sews stuff.  I think that is freaking awesome. I have friends who have passions and they just go for it. Love it! My brother, Justin wanted to design toys. He did it. My brother and sister in love, Scott and Laura wanted to start a youth horse ranch. They are doing it. My husband was a sweet little country boy who wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. He did it. See the pattern? I like being inspired. So $100 Startup is a book full of people who find themselves not so much in a career or really intending to make it big but they just start down a path and do what they love. I asked a musician I know where he dreams of playing someday. He said that he just wanted...
