One of my favorite blogs, Cupcakes and Cashmere, posted this fun idea.

I'm totally going to try these out and I think you should too!!

Trash or Treasure?

I love to go antiquing at both yard sales and antique stores.
Do you?
What great finds have you scored?
I'm in search of a lamp and shelf. Preferably a white wooden lamp, shade is optional, and a shelf with knobs underneath. I don't care what the knobs look like because I am going to replace them with "shabby" knobs.
Vintage toys will probably make their way into my car too. Strange how that happens.

Wish me luck!

mother's day

We are due in 8 weeks, thats a max of 56 days before we see Miss Avery. During dinner last night our nephew was asking her to come out and play. He calls her "Baby Avey".

Yesterday was special not only cause it was mother's day and I got to celebrate with the moms in my life, but because I was treated like one too. I even scored a massage, a tree for the new backyard and a free appetizer. "Baby Avey" danced around excessively during church and what was supposed to be our afternoon nap. Her daddy told her it was mother's day.

Time with mom is always special. My heart goes out to those who arent able to spend time with their mom and for those who are praying for children.

Destiny

A couple has been trying to have a baby for years. Adoptions have fallen through over the years and they've received minimal possible placements from DFCS.

Prayerfully they waited.

Last Saturday they received a call. Newborn baby girl unwanted by a young mother.

They took her home from the hospital earlier this week. 5lbs and beautiful.
