Potato Stampin

I made these last week, which you can see here if interested,with this.When Jayce woke up, I knew he'd want to try it, so I set him up with a little potato stamping project too.Which went pretty well...until he realized that he had paint all over his boobies, which is what he told me.My arms are getting better, so I'll be catching up soon, and trying to right my blog negligence.&nb...

More Wedding, Less Running

Sorry I have been absent on here for about a week, it is pushing back the "catching up" that I was planning to do on the blog.  The short of it, and this will all have to be very short for now, is that I have really aggravated the muscles in my forearms and doing anything on the computer is kind of excruciating at the moment.  Really anything that requires me to lift my fingers up, like holding a pen, cutting with scissors...and, uh...cooking...

Pittard Wedding

We went to Louisville last weekend for Chris to do the wedding of some good family friends. This would be the part where I would normally have a picture of Chris marrying our friends, but I do not have a picture like that. A tiny glimpse of why could be revealed in this picture. A blur of Jayce.Or maybe this one, which we'll call, "See ya Mom!"Jayce is normally a pretty well-behaved kid. He typically has a good sense of boundaries and minds us...

Any Christian Standard Readers?

Still playing catch up here a bit, but has anybody been reading the Christian Standard this past August?If so, I hope you caught 2 different articles penned by Chris and his father Andy. There was The Pastoral Call of Corporate Leaders in the August 15 issue, and Why Some Corporate Practices Should Have A Home in the Church in the August 29 issue. I was so proud to be sitting in church by my husband, and reading his writing in a magazine that...

A Sweet Shot: Dreamy Sunflare

I took this picture a few weeks ago as we were leaving a fall festival at our church. It was a really hot day, there were inflatables, and Jayce was a crazy jumping boy for the few hours that we were there. He obviously didn't want to leave the fun, but as soon as Chris picked him up to take him out to the car, his head hit Chris' shoulder and stayed there the rest of the way.I love the dreaminess that the light spilling across the middle of the...

Five for Friday: Jayce

It seems that my little family blog has been neglected lately. Sorry!!! It's not for a lack of things to say, I actually have plenty, I've just been busy doing instead of writing lately. But I am attempting to rectify that a bit this week, and for today I'll be turning to Tiffany's tried and true method, 5 for Friday. 1.) I made Jayce this great little desk last week! I love it! I put it on Lemon Tree Creations on Monday, which you can see...

Giving Up the Paci

I told you a few weeks ago that the giving up of the paci was imminent. So, almost 2 weeks ago, we did it. I wish I had thought to take a few pictures, but I did not, so you'll have to use your imagination a bit on this one.When it was getting close to bedtime, I informed Jayce that he wasn't going to be able to take his paci to bed that night, that his paci was broken and we were going to have to throw it away. I had thought that this little...

Etsy stuff

I have been looking around for a little branch stamp to use with my etsy orders, (you know, that whole Blues and Branches thing?), but I have been having an impossible time finding a branch that isn't overly cutesy, or has birds or flowers on it.  So I finally opted for something custom.  On Monday, I was so happy to receive this in the mail!There have been a few times that I have been out and ended up talking to someone about my shop,...
