Charm Bracelet Giveaway

Annie & I feel like the luckiest girls in the world!

 

We were offered a chance to choose CHARM IT! bracelets & charms, but the best part is...you might get the chance too!

 

 

 

You should have seen us

pouring over the Charms on the CHARM IT! Website!

She was literally squealing!

It was so cute!

 

Then, when we they arrived in the mail...

...she proclaimed it, "The best day of my life!!!"

 

 

 

We got to pick out a chain...

 

...and 5 charms. 

 

 

If you want to see what Annie picked click HERE.

 

I picked things that remind me of her, of us.

 

Being the only girls in the house we treasure our girl time,
 and as often as we can, we have secret chats while I paint her nails.

 

We both agree fro yo is one of the best inventions EVER!
We sneak out for little Frozen Yogurt dates.
 

 

And this darling little charm brought back so many memories

of her "Growing Up Too Fast" birthday party!

 



 

 

  

 And you know how passionate she is about making a difference.

When I saw this locket...I had a little leap of joy in my heart.

 

 

She believes it!

 

 

This heart with all its' sparkles, reminds me of her heart, 

it captures all the different colors of her personality.

 

 

I knew I had to have it.

 

It's soooo much more than a bracelet,

it's our story.

 

 

I knew from the website how cute the CHARM IT! charms were but once it arrived I was really impressed with how well made it was.  It's even little brother proof!  The attention to detail on each charm is amazing.  We had so much fun together admiring the tiny details that make each charm extra special.

Children's Book Giveaway

This happens to be my very favorite book:

A Special Fish for Jonah

It makes my kids smile
& they want to read it over
& over again.
 
Especially Bo. 

Maybe, it's because Andy McGuire signed our copy to Bo.

One thing I know is that

it makes Bo laugh.

This version is from the account of an Angel Fish

who God chose to find the right fish for the job (carrying Jonah).

And Bo's favorite...

I'm not even gonna show you Annie's favorite...

you'll have to read it to see :)

Now, I am actually the luckiest girl because...

Andy McGuire actually happens to be a friend!

(Yes...I am name dropping here folks, definitely)

So that means...

I will ship worldwide.

Pumpkin Blessings

Halloween can be a dark holiday,

so why not use it to spread light & blessings!

It all started with this book:

My mom asked if I had seen the page on kindness.

This is the picture for it:

And just look what I have.

Of course, I also have plenty of little boys 

AND even more pumpkins!

(and a big sister ready to help)

The kids helped grow these pumpkins at my in-laws farm.

All we needed now was some black and white gingham ribbon

and some blessing messages!

Everyone wanted to help.

Soon we had our pumpkin blessings.

A whole wagon full!

Off they went to bless the neighborhood.

Bo pulled the wagon,

and Annie was the door girl.

I am not sure who liked it more,

my kids

or the neighbors.

And with an empty wagon,

home again,

home again,

jiggety jig.

As a Halloween blessing to you

 my next 2 posts will be giving away two of my

favorite children's books!

On Thursday the book in this post, or the girl version, you choose :)

On Friday I will post a giveaway for a signed copy of this book:

He will even sign it to whoever you want.

(Great Christmas gift!)

I'll share more about it Friday! 

Have a fabulous week!

Spring Organizing

Last year Spring Break looked like this:

This year...Spring Break looks like this:

Not quite as fun.

But Spring is Spring and it calls for Spring cleaning!

The other day I added these little felt pictures to our toy shelf

& it has changed our lives! 

No more pulling out every bucket to see which basket holds what. Cleaning time is cut in half AND the kids don't pull out EVERY basket to find the one they want!

The sticky back felt worked PERFECT!

Simple,

but revolutionary :)

But don't think the kids can't still mess

it up in less than 30 seconds!

Then yesterday my husband & I cleaned his office

& tossed like CRAZY!

While cleaning I found these book marks I made a few months ago.

I thought why not pass a few onto you,

so on Thursday afternoon I will pull 3 names

from comments on this post and get them off to three of you :)

Anyone, anywhere...you don't need to have a blog,

just leave a comment & you're in!

(But please make sure you leave an email if you don't have a blog so I can get ahold of you)
