happy valentine's day!

 So on Monday, I decided that it might be fun to make a yummy valentine's treat with the kids.  I thought how fun would those cake pops thingys be...hmmm...I have yellow cake, pink frosting, and lots of sprinkles.  The only thing I didn't have is the sucker sticks but we would do without. I read the directions...and no where in them did it mention: THIS IS GOING TO BE THE MESSIEST SNACK/CRAFT YOU'VE EVER DONE~BE PREPARED!"

So pooh bear and I began by baking a cake early in the morning to allow plenty of cooling time. We then broke up the cake into itty bitty just clean my floor pieces and added a can of prepared strawberry frosting.



 She and I rolled into balls and put them into the fridge for proper cooling. AND CLEANED UP THE MESSIEST CAKE/FROSTING CONCOCTION!


Then I melted some chocolate chips {I thought strawberries and chocolate was a good combination} and set out some sprinkles. and then came the real messy part. I dipped and let the kids  sprinkled. Three kids jockeying for BEST sprinkle position. It rained sprinkles, people! OH IT WAS SUCH A MESSY SNACK! But kinda tasty!






Happy Valentine's Day!

A JOURNEY OF THE HEART

"No NO No NO NO No!" That was a recent entry into my journal. I was asked to do something that I without a shadow of a doubt knew it was God asking me to do it. AND I DIDN'T WANT TO! I literally followed it with 2 pages of ME telling God why I didn't want to do it and why I couldn't do it. Yes 2 pages.  Wow! I strapped on my toddler attitude and went to town. *Flashback to 1 month ago* Child #1's Kindergarten teacher, Kara,  also  attends the church we attend and we occasionally see each other at the same service. Well, one particular evening we got to talking and she asked me to join our church's version of VBS. We go to the west side {off campus} of town to the Somalian population and do a day time VBS and lunch for these kids for an entire week. Cool part, my own kids can come and be apart of the "missions trip."  What an invaluable a lesson to my kids to show love to others! Kara is heading crafts and wanted me to craft it up with her. ...

serving with a grateful heart

1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." This year my little gang of cheerios and I have been working on being intentional about serving. To be honest for a long time the excuses of having to many littles was beginning to wear thin. Now I have been looking for opportunities that my littles could easily accomplish. Yesterday, we attended a Lenten service at our church. It was a beautiful Prayer walk. We walked through stations, preparing our hearts for this season of Lent. It was a perfect activity for our family to do together. In the Lenten study package was The Names of God Bible reading challenge . I am really thrilled to focus in on the Names of God for this season. Preparing my heart for the Easter season. So today, the sanctuary needed cleaned. All the stations needed put back in the closets and offices that they were borrowed from. Little ...
