Happy birthday

My first born is 8 today. It's hard to believe. She was just under 6  lbs at birth. She was a tiny peanut. But we fell in love with her the moment I laid eyes on her bald head.  Now she's not much bigger than a minute. Now she is a curly headed force of nature. She always has her head in a book or is dancing. She's a planner and then some. She is joy! Happy birthday child #1!






I asked her what she wanted for her birthday meal (thinking just dinner) but she came back with donuts for breakfast, mac and cheese for lunch and pancakes for dinner. L.O.V.E it! But these weren't any run of the mill donuts, she wanted Schneider's Bakery donuts. ITS NOT JUST ANY BAKERY! Its  one of those places that opens up at 2 am. The place is no bigger than a  donut itself . It barely fits my family. Just imagine me bringing my gaggle of kids for a moment with its on street parking...just imagine. But I couldn't say no, they are so yummy! Its not only yummy but cheaper than Tim Hortons' too! Like by almost 3 dollars. And oh so much yummier!

I told the ladies behind the counter it was her birthday so they and the other customers sang "happy birthday" to her. EMBARRASSED the  beejeezus out of her. I think she secretly liked it!






Happy birthday!

My little {BIG} fear

So here's my little confession: I have big fears and little fears. But lately one particularly has been plaguing me { AGAIN }. It is the fear of being forgotten, more so being { FORGETTABLE } and indivisible. I don't know what starts it or triggers it, but it can be as simple as an email offering to volunteer for something than not hearing a reply. I guess the last trigger was a group wide calendar was sent out with {every one's} birthday on it except mine. I know that is wasn't done on purpose but my birthday is a sensitive subject to me. Its always been forgotten. Its right around Labor day and the first week of school. So in the busyness its often overlooked. Or in the case of 6th grade its not even written on the calendar. Mrs. Brotherton I think I know when my birthday is...but she still made me go to the Principal's office for arguing with her and I came back successfully with a note that I was indeed correct about knowing my birthday. I digress... I was telli...

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 ...
