A Daybook Entry

I used to do this on my personal blog and really enjoyed it. So I though I would bring it back out today.


A favorite picture... Anna's 7th birthday party. Her cake was designed by her and made by a friend of mine. She was so cute and enjoyed her day so very much.

Outside my window...Is a beautiful sunny day. A little warmer than I like in October, but so beautiful.

I am thinking...about getting to visit old friends this weekend. Thursday just can't get here fast enough.



I am thankful for...my children. I was taught to pray for those that give you trouble. I am praying for these children a lot today. If you get my drift!



From the kitchen...nothing so far. But tonight will be homemade chicken strips and cheesy mashed potatoes!



I am wearing...brown fleece pants, a Buck-e Beaver t-shirt and Easter socks. Don't hate me.



I am creating...UGH! I practiced etching glass today, I was planning on making Christmas gifts using my new talent, but it looks like there will be a lot more practicing before anything is given away!



I am going...to fold all 8 loads of clothes I washed and dried today. 8 loads!



I am reading... I Surrender All: Rebuilding a Marriage Broken by Pornography Clay & Renee Crosse's book. They speak so much about the casual Christian and the harm that a daily walk with the Lord can do to your life. Convicting!



I am hoping...it gets cool enough to wear some of my new scarves



I am hearing...nothing. And I'm not sure why, but I'm not questioning it. We are long since the quiet=mess times. Now, I relish the quiet.



Around the house...we are cleaning up. Fall cleaning I guess.



A few plans for the week...Headed to northeast Arkansas for a couple of days. Stephen is going to perform a wedding for a girl in our first youth group. And we get to see Abby, Henry and Randall!!! And all my favorite friends. I can't wait!




One of my favorite things...I feel like I haven't told you enough how much I love my Kindle. It is my favorite material object. I love it.

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'
