Tulip Girl

I lost my camera then found it! Phew! I have been doing a little sprucing lately rearranging, adding super cute finds. I have a thing for world globes. I have three now. You won't believe how I came upon this black one. First Sunday back at our church last January as I practically skipped down the hallway to Sunday School (what can I say, I was happy to be back) I stopped, my eyes grew dewy and I fell in love! There sitting by the gymnasium doors on a shelf off to the side was a black ocean globe practically coming apart at the seems. Well, for three months I eyed this globe lovingly as it just sat abandoned. Then someone commented that they thought the boundaries were not even accurate and right then and there I knew he needed to be mine. I called the church office the following day and wouldn't you know I picked him up that afternoon. I may be a mite crazy but at least I'm crazy with a cool globe. This blue one was a gift. She is a semi-precious stone globe gifted to me b...

Updated: I found it! Click here to go see the blog, A Holy Experience . It is about the most peaceful place you will find on the internet. Somewhere out there in bloggy land is a blogger who does this linky party where the goal is to list 1000 thankfulnesses (is that a word?). I found it and lost it. There is a lot of blogs out there. If you know, please let me know either by e-mail or comment please! So even if I can't participate in her link up party, I did already start my own list in a cute little pink notebook I made at MOPS, the only MOPS I've been to this whole semester. I would have gone today but, phlegm hacking isn't a desirable trait in public so I stayed home. Ok, so on the the 1000 Thanks. 1. I have Eternal Life through Jesus Christ who was crucified for my sins and rose again, was resurrected and ascended into Heaven where even now He is making me one kick butt pad (thats mansion for those who don't know my street lingo, umh, ok, I watched MTV...a few time...

I woke up at 12:30 am to Wiggles crying. It was all I could do to go change her diaper show her a quick book and put her back in her crib. I couldn't even talk ya'll ! My throat was on fire! I put her back in her crib and gave her a "Figure it out girl. I got nothin '" and walked out. Poor baby girl! Fortunately she fell asleep...eventually. This picture is of Wiggles with her first pig tails. It took a while to get it but she didn't pull them out at least. I took the picture with my phone 'cause I don't know where in the world my camera is.

I am seriously in need of some creative ideas here! I am sick and would be out for the countwith my cold and drainage but I'm IT for the next few days so I don't have a choice. What do you all suggest for an energetic 14 month old with a runny nose and a sick mommy? So far books and videos and lots and lots of aloe lotion tissues for the both of us. We are bored!

The first pilot spoke vehemently. "You know, I believe in God. I have met Him sometimes in the beauty of a sunset or flying high in the heavens. But I have not patience with the church and its talk of Christian doctrine and theology. Why do I need to go to church when I can experience God on my own?" Nonplussed, Lewis responded politely. "I have no doubt you have experienced God through the splendors of nature. I have as well. But isn't it possible that God hasgiven you these glimpses of His glory because He desires you to seek Him and truly know Him?" The pilot pushed his cap off his forehead and shrugged. "Just as we need a map and a guide to learn about an unknown country," Lewis continued, "we need the Holy Scriptures and other believers to help us learn more about God. God wants to offer you life eternal as well as a personal relationship with Him. You shouldn't be satisfied with a few isolated experiences that have left you with good ...

I have been feeling with either allergies or a cold, not sure but relaxing to kick its butt so it will stop kicking mine has been a seriously agenda of mine lately. So at nap times and at night time I've been reading Inklings, Expectations and Evasions in the Oxford Chronicles Series by Melanie Jeschke . If you have a thing for England especially Oxford then this series would be incredibly awesome to read. There is an awesome sale at my Etsy shop for Mothers Day. To learn more check it out here .

Last night I was crankier than cranky. Again the allergy monster hit and my lymph nodes swelled, drainage sludged its way down my throat and mean Katie came out. Hubby was awesome ! He put Captain Wiggles down, we ate left overs, he cleaned the kitchen while I watched Ghost Whisperer and then he ironed while I fell asleep after folding my little bit of laundry. I'm linking up this week with Living by Faith . It is "To Love Their Husbands" Tuesday! I'm all for that. This last weekend was Hubby's Birthday so we had a little get together on Saturday and went out sans Wiggles on Sunday. I have to confess that I have been horrible for Hubby's Birthdays not making him a cake or doing anything to overly special. The last two I cried. Yeah, pathetic really. So this last one, I was determined to make it good. It was. Yay ! Here is a list of things that makes my husband awesome. 1. Good back rubs 2. Can make me purr when he runs his hands through my hair 3. Brags about...
