Friday Favorites

 
 
Today is another linkup with Andrea from Momfessionals for my Friday Favorites....be warned, there are a lot this week. Then make sure to check out her's and the other's who are linking in :)
 
 
Getting to make "crafty" things but calling it work.  I wanted cute apples for my counting activity with this book, so I used scrapbook paper instead of construction.  They are darn adorable if I do say so myself :)
 
 
Playing around with my Beautiful Mess App.  The background is a photo of scrapbook paper.

 
School open house.  Lucy with her new teacher.

 
Celebrating this lovely lady's Birthday!!

 
My niece is one of my most favorite people...EVER!

 
Pumpkin Patches....we haven't been yet but the view from the road made me anxious to plan a trip soon.

 
Getting a new book in the mail.....So far so good.  I can't wait to dive into it deeper (with a cup of joe of course).

 
A text from my High School Freshman....proud momma moment :)

 
One of my outfits this week. 

 
 
Happy Friday Everyone.  I have a busy weekend planned with Friends, Family, and a lot of God woven in.  
 
God Bless!!

    Visiting from Friday Favourites! Those apples are adorable, what a great way to use scrapbook paper scraps! Being crafty and doing work is one of my favourite things!

    Love your list! I always enjoy calling my crafting work too. It makes it more official and a must to get done. :) I have a freshman in college, a freshman in high school, and a 6th grader. Getting texts from my two older ones for no reason always makes my day. You'll have to post about the book when you are finished with it. I have been wanting to purchase it, but I haven't yet.
    Enjoy your weekend!! xoxo

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap?  Someone who drinks perfume?  This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening?  Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood?  I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods?   Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night?  Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested?  I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!!

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

  We have developed many traditions for our family over the years.  We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater.   Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a  snowy evening, attend  the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program.   We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love.    My favorite tradition?  Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa.  I don't know how it started but...
