'tis the little things

I'm joining with Lindsay at From the Aisle to Aloha! She is very talented PLUS she lives in HAWAII (at least for the time being.) Lindsay has a wonderful etsy store as well...check it out HERE!!! No really...go back to her store either NOW (but come back and read my blog) OR read my blog and go to her store later. :)
Ok...So this week we were kind of busy. Z's first FULL week of school. Monday at school...Z had a pretty hard day, I'm hoping that it's just case of being home for the weekend. But he finished the week strong and he started to actually use the bathroom there at the school! YEAH!!! I'm so proud of him! I also LOVE these little sheets of paper that tell me about his day.

I also was so happy when I opened up a package of Target brand diapers...and saw the size (as in a number) on the outside of the diaper. It used to be REALLY small and on the inside of the tab. SO when we have 2 kids in the same brand of diaper...SOMETIMES (when a certain person would put on the diapers) the kids would sometimes wear the wrong size...

During the change of seasons I love being able to wear hoodies...however it does some destruction for some of my families sinuses. So I'm so happy for...SUCTION!

I LOVE creating...these little pretties will be leggings for Aspen. (I just have to sew up the bottoms for a more finished look) I got them off of Target Clearance for $5.35...I just LOVE to create for my family and SO happy that I can do a bunch of different things; knit, repurpose, etc.

Well...now that you read my blog...you should hop on over to Lindsay's BLOG AND Etsy Shop! In NO way am I getting anything for promoting her shop...I would like to get something from it EVENTUALLY...but first I need to have money for it. :)


I hope that you had a blessed week as well as a "resting" weekend a head of you! 

I'm Stylish?

Well...I actually got this award from Ashley. I really can't believe it. This is why we (Ashley & I) are blog friends. :) We have yet to meet in person but I'm sure that if/when we actually meet we would be friends from the start! That is actually my goal sometime...meet some of my "blog" friends in real life! Well anyway back to this award that Ashley gave me it's a Stylish Blogger Award!I believe Ashley deserves this award...I really and truly feel that. She has a way of being so Simply Stylish in her blog; the way she words things, the pics that she has on there and her "savings" that she shares with us on clothes and such! I simply am glad that I found her blog. I don't know when or how that happened (I need to keep a better track of that!)
Now I guess you get to know 7 things about me...
Most of you all ready know stuff about me other wise you wouldn't be reading my blog. :)
~I'm a Daughter of the Most High God! He sought me and bought me with his redeeming blood!
~I'm a Wife to a wonderful, gentle husband who is also studying to be a doctor. Not just any medical doctor but a doctor of osteopathic medicine. To know the difference check it out HERE. But my husband, Rick is the perfect match for me, thanks to eHarmony.com
~I'm a Mother to a 2 1/2 year old son (Ezekiel, Z, Z-Man, Zeke...) & to a 4 month old (tomorrow) little girl (Aspen, Bug) & I LOVE being a mommy to them. They give me their love by their hugs, smiles, kisses, learning & growing.
~I'm a creator of things...I like to work with a camera and lens (Photographer), I like to work with sticks (needles) and fiber (yarn)(knitter), I like to work with paint, I like to work with ribbon, and anything else that I might come in contact with...
~I haven't fallen in love with coffee...BUT I do love to drink Tea (loose-leaf tea), flavored & sparkling water & diet Pepsi!
~I dislike doing dishes but I like finding new recipes to cook or bake that are going to bring me and my family to our weight lost goals. You can check my endeavors HERE!
~I'm involved with the Significant Other's Support group (for the wives, husbands and other SO's of the DMU students.), I greet at our church (usually wearing my daughter for added smiles!), I love being outside...but when the weather is warmer (this winter is KILLING me!), I love blogging (to read & write), and in my "spare" time I blog for books!
So you were only suppose to have 7...but I think that you got 11 things. I just don't know when to stop!
I'm also suppose to send this award to 15 other blogs...but I think I will choose 5! You can check some of my favorite blogs HERE

Jenn at FROM ALASKA WITH LOVE
Londa at The Sneaky Mommy
Kim at Yellow Songbird
Meredith at Life at 7000 feet
