A murmuration of Starlings

Design Mom posted this today and I am a little thrown off by how overwhelmed it has made me thinking about God's creativity in nature and the way his creation worships Him. Just by being. Amazing.

51 days

Christmas projects are on the go. 

We're making a play kitchen for the girls and what's a play kitchen without play food?

I'm loving ending my days with a needle and thread and with any luck the cupboards in the play kitchen will be bursting by the time December 25 rolls around. 

51 days to go!

A Halloween Story.

This year we bought costumes.
I kept quiet while my handmade loving heart broke.
Two days before Halloween,  they changed their minds.
My heart leapt.


Then I panicked.


Two days.
To make 3 costumes.


Sonic the Hedgehog for the boy.
Minnie Mouse for the girl.
Wings for the bird.


I did it.

Halloween morning came.
The girl decided her store bought costume was the way to go after all.

So Sonic, Supergirl, and a winged Wren headed out that night.
And loved every minute of it.

The end.

So good.

Even when the husband can't come home early to help and all the laundry smells like mold because you left the wet clothes in the basket for a few days too many and the baby is still crying because you took her for needles yesterday...

...being a parent is so good. Moments like these make days like today manageable.
