4. snuggle with mommy while getting a breathing treatment

5. go to school

6. nap

7. slam bathroom cupboards

8. destroy matty's train track

9. laugh and be silly

i love to layer...

i do. tanks, tees, sweaters, dresses with jeans. layering is so fun and makes clothes *and jewelry* more versatile. *new* cream freshwater pearl necklace. simple. classic. heirloom quality. 16-18" adjustable clasp. perfect for layering. $48

find them on the 'something extra' page.

and...i am giving 2 away. leave us a comment below and tell us your favorite way to layer!!

hard work!

Matty has quite the list of things to do today...
1. Wash trike (in a mud puddle)
2. Draw with sidewalk chalk (make lots of H's--his favorite letter right now)
3. Watch Alvin and the Chipmunks at least twice
4. Eat strawberry after strawberry, yum!
5. Boss David around
6. Color a racetrack on construction paper for his hot wheels to race (and crash on)
7. See where the day leads!

this + that

we enjoyed family movie night consisting of alvin and the chipmunks (which i thought was really funny, but maybe i was in a silly mood), snuggling under blankets (David only lasted about a half hour then he had to go slam some cupboards) and lots of popcorn (kettle corn, of course!). so fun!



the riveted jewelry is up...yAy! Steve ran into a couple glitches during the process, but I think we've worked them out.
The women's conference at church was great. So fun and refreshing and definitely giving me some things to think about!


Last day for Mother's Day orders is Monday, April 28th. Let me know in the note section if you need it for Mother's Day.

weekend

friday means steve's day off and the weekend starts. yay!

david has been happy and energetic. so glad he's back to himself!

thanks so much for your encouragement yesterday. we moms need to encourage each other! life is good but it's also crazy and definitely imperfect. while i feel so blessed, i don't want to give the impression that our lives are always carefree or that we don't struggle. there is beauty even in the mess! hope you've got some fun stuff lined up this weekend. i'm off to tackle the garage...then join up with friends for our women's conference at church.
