yarn :)

last monday the kiddos were out of school. my little girl had been asking for a playdate for many weeks and well, i'm not so good with that kind of stuff. so this was a great day. i asked for the girls and then we decided to just all get together...so we headed over to my dear friends house for the boys to play, the girls to play, and then well, of course us moms to play:)


i may or may not have a slight problem with pinterest. i try to limit myself, but boy do i love the ideas floating around. i keep telling my dear friend she needs to get on, so that morning i got her hooked up. as we were deciding how to be crafty we browsed pinterest and saw that adorable yarn craft above. (well, not exactly that one!)


now, something you should know about my dear friend. she has yarn out the wazoo!! and she loves to get rid of things so this was the perfect craft. we sat down and made yarn ball after yarn ball. isn't it cute? she just did a round one, but i wanted to attempt to do the heart shaped one. i plan to do an office makeover and this will definitely have a place on the wall.


i love pinterest, i love my dear friend, i love our kiddos, i love that the girls waited patiently to show us their play while we wrapped yarn balls, i love these sweet days...

1. Thank you for your sweet, understanding comment on my scandalous :) SM post. I could tell we are heart-twins by your words.

2. Did you see that thing on Pinterest where you put the yarn scraps in a suet feeder so all the birdies can fluff their nests and add a little pizazz? I don't even HAVE yarn, but it makes me want to go get some!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss ...

life with izzie b

so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city. anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky. then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um....
