How many crowns in Heaven will I get for cleaning the toilet?


The answer is that it depends on my attitude as it is with all of life...um bummer. I was hoping for extra. The attitude thing though, God cares much more about our heart when we do what we do than what we do. I can feed a homeless man and if my attitude is an open heart and broken spirit then our Heavenly Father sees that. If I do it 'cause I'm trying to feel good about myself or for community service 'cause I broke the law, well anyway, God sees that too.

I made spaghetti for dinner. I have been loving adding red wine vinegar to my meet while cooking. Well, I decided on a whim to add a little cinnamon and you know what? It was super good. I didn't tell Dan and gave him a taste and he loved it. Awesome. I am growing more in love with experimenting in the kitchen. You know, its an outlet at the end of the day. While Dan puts Sarah down for a nap, I can go cook something up. I have a lemon pepper salmon I put poppy seed dressing and crushed cashews on and I have an Progresso Italian Season tenderloins I put swiss cheese slices on. Thats just a few. It is so much fun. My friend Erin makes some mean hamburgers that for sure beats out all competition that I would love to learn to make. Learning to cook with her or my dad, I would have to intern with them because a lot of what they do doesn't have recipes. Super fun.

Sarah liked her pears but she loves loves loves her some sweet peas! I gave Sarah her first taste of peas today for lunch and she gobbled it right down. I held the spoon in her hand and it went right in her mouth with vigor and gusto. I have realized my best bet at getting her to eat is put the spoon in her left hand and she will guide it to her mouth. Her hand eye mouth coordination is better than her eye, mouth, mommy's hand coordination. She is more willing to open her mouth for the food if her hand is holding the spoon...and less likely to suck on her thumb while I try to feed her too. Wierd quorkie little thing that Sarah Grace, oh how I love her to bits. She is so much fun.

I am happy to say she will be an only child for a little bit longer. No baby on the way here. Of course we would have been excited either way. After three years of trying it would have been nice to know there would be no more trying process in the future. But as it is, no baby on the way and that is just fine with me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good news, my hair seems to have slowed down on the falling out thing. Bad news quite a bit of Sarah's hair seemed to make a leap for it today. I sure hope she doesn't lose that pretty strawberry blond 'cause it super super cute.

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...
