Today, that THING would be Bryana Marie....

It amazes me how BIG her heart truly is.  Never says a bad word about anyone and always, I mean always looks at the positive side of anything.  I can hardly wait to see what God is going to do through Bryana while she's in Italy. I haven't met a person yet who hasn't been touched in some way by this sparkling gem.

She inspires me...

Get It On The Calendar

Happy Wednesday!

Other than some of the cutest kids ever, my boy, and my hubby, there is something that I stare at daily.  Ok, maybe obsessively, just about every hour.  Some people use their cell phones, work desk, or one that hangs on the kitchen wall or refrigerator.  Not me. She's pink. sleak, and very very necessary!  I take her everywhere I go.  Ya never know when you have to plan something.

I'd like to introduce you to "Pinky"....

Yep, she's my 2011 Calendar.  In case you didn't know, I am always planning something, I'm very organized and I usually know what days I will be on vacation a year in advance.  I write everything on this calendar (usually ones with 2-3 years in them.).  I like to make sure our family schedule is in order. 

However, today as I was looking through, I noticed there is not anything on the calendar for ME.  Sure I'm involved, but nothing that's just for ME.  As a matter of fact it was this time 3 years ago that I was planning a girl's trip to Vegas....(where I acquired these "little mama's" from a strange woman)

Weird huh? I said I was in Las Vegas...that's another blog post!

Ok, now back to my story...

I have a sister who lives on the East Coast and a girlfriend who lives on the West Coast, SO

what's the problem??  I've decided to start thinking about getting something on the calendar for ME.  There will always be bills (don't tell my hubby I said that), and there will always be basketball tournaments, Bible Camps, and did I say bills already?  Why not make the call, get some girlfriends together and enjoy eachothers company?? Or go on an adventure alone??

Pull out your luggage...

Cute huh?! Only used once...SMH!

And GET IT ON THE CALENDAR!



And after you do, let me know what you've got planned!  I love hearing about fun trips!

What's That Smell??

Whenever anything smells funny in our home, everyone walks around sniffing and asking, "what's that smell??"  Well, this was me a few days ago.  Walking around on the hunt for that peculiar smell.  I kept saying, not to anyone specific, but just aloud...I know that smell!

AH HA!

  

#1 shoes are never allowed in the house.

#2 Especially NOT your smelly basketball shoes.

On my way out to toss these babies where everything

stinky should go, the garage,  I noticed some

writing on the shoes.  #3 Writing on shoes, clothing, &

body parts is strictly prohibited in this

fam....BUT, let's just get a closer look...

Phil. 4:13???  Could this be Philippians 4:13 that says...

"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." 

YEPPER!  That kid of mine makes me smile!

Mama's ok with the stink AND the writing....

just as long as they stay in the garage.

The End.

Hello Saturday Morning!

It's a Beautiful Saturday in Minnesota.  While the boys were working on projects,
mama snuck off to enjoy a sweet coffee date with a dear friend.  There is plenty of time for laundry, dishes and dusting.  Coffee with a girlfriend just makes everything good...

Sweetest pic of the day...(exactly why I NEED that Nikon D3100), these girls are way too cute not to take a snap shot...even with a cell phone!
