Baby Mama Drama...Yeah, Right!

I sometimes laugh at the things that take my time these days. I always knew being a mama would take on new meaning and create new interests, but I never thought I would get excited about dressing my child for a bargain and end up stessing over it a wee bit!

Like today, I am debating what trunk show to have this spring, Rags Land or Kellys Kids. Dilemma, I tell ya. I am leaning toward Rags Land because I like the Spring line a bit better. Decisions, decisions...

I am also getting really excited about Valentine's Day and ironing out all the details for Henry. I have a shirt being made for him that is super cute, and decorated sugar cookies that compliment his shirt are going to be his Valentine to take to his friends and teachers. I have to laugh at my sister's response about my excitement of having a matching Valentine/cookie to match his shirt, "Really, no one will notice but you". She may be right, but I will know and that is what matters, right?!

Another thing I am gearing up for is the first spring consignment sale in less than a month. Whoo hoo, I am already creating a list. I love this particular sale, KidsTown. My friend and her family own the sale and she gives us preview passes. I owe her big for allowing us to come get first dibs without volunteering a minute of our time. She loves us, I reckon. We got Henry so many wonderful things at the fall sale, I can't wait to see what we find this time around.

And then there is Easter to think about, but I promise to not do that yet...or at least I will try not to. You know, it is sort of nice to know this is my "baby mama drama". A nice little blessing, if you ask me!

I love Kelly's Kids and Rags Land. I think his outfit and cookie matching is so cute.

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time. I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud! I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
