It’s been a dizzying whirlwind of a year. I think it is most valuable for me to do these year-end posts so I can take a moment and realize what I HAVE gotten done this year, instead of focusing on my unfinished To-Do lists. Especially during these morning-sickness days when I spend more time on […]
Knit Together in Love Girls Camp
July 23, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Every summer our church hosts a camp for young women (ages 12-18), where we get them away from boys and cell phones (at least we try), and daily showers, and help them to learn about themselves and strengthen relationships with each other and with God. I haven’t been to girls camp for several years. The […]

I’ve had a little break from birthday parties, but there are a couple right around the corner now. Before my son celebrates his 3rd birthday, it might be a good idea to blog his 2nd birthday. It hit at a really busy time last year and I just didn’t get a chance to get the […]

Knowing I have a house full of crazy, creative kids, blogging friend, MaryLea from Pink & Green Mama, sent me a copy of her Ocean Fun Art Camp e-book to try out with them. We chose the ocean in the bottle craft to try out, since I had all of the supplies on-hand, and it […]
Valentines Fun

We had kind of an early Valentine’s celebration with the kids this weekend. My sister-in-law brought over everything to make sugar cookies with the kids and we turned it into a crafty party. We needed food, so I decided to try heart-shaped pizzas. It was pretty easy since I used the ready made dough from […]
