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.

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 "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
