The Girl Behind the Blog {Encouragement}

 Over a year ago, I did my first girl behind the blog post.

And...I haven't done one since.

So, here I am again.

It's naptime and maybe I should be doing something productive like mopping my {really dirty} floors or folding some {really wrinkly} laundry, but here I am posting another video.  

Last time I blamed it on Carina.  

This time its Kerrie's fault.

Ashley and Nadine wanted us to talk about encouragement...

                           

Sammy wanted to weigh-in on the topic of encouragement...

10 on 10 {kind of}

It's January 11, not January 10.

I have 14 pictures, not 10.

I took pictures for 12 consecutive hours, not 10.

Close enough...

7:00.

Breakfast with my oldest boy.

He got to pick out his own cereal at the grocery store.

The obvious choice was "the cookie monster cereal".

8:00.

Get Sam.

Feed Sam while watching Mickey.

Always.

9:00.

Preparing to leave the house to run a few errands.  

My patience is tested often during "getting-ready-to leave-the-house-moments". 

10:00.

Sam's Club.

Max wasn't feeling it on our errand run.

11:00 - 5:00.

Cake shop.

 

This girl has been a blast to work with.

Sad that she's leaving our cake shop, but excited for her new opportunities!

  

6:00.

Getting ready for family date night. 

7:00.

Shigs & Pits.

Think about that name for a bit.

Adding this restaurant to our list of favorites.

  

Hang Tight

I am alive.  

I promise...just a little sleep deprived. 

My life these days consists of trying to figure out how to be a mama to the two blessings God has given us.  

And our house has exploded with baby stuff.

Organized has never been a quality you would use to describe me...

So, I'm trying to figure that out too.

This little space of mine has been put on the back burner for a bit. but I promise to return soon.  

I miss it.

I miss writing down memories that we are making as a family.

And let me tell you, my little Max-man is providing me with some good writing material these days...

So, until I return, hang tight and if you think of me, send up a little prayer on my behalf for patience, grace and sleep. :)

Happy weekend!

Left to Right...Top to Bottom

Holding on for dear life.

Tea time.

Max got to choose what facial expression we made.

Trips to Target are never a bad idea.
Our ongoing Skip-Bo tournament.  I'm winning.
My favorite 2 year olds.  What a pair...

Waiting for Papa.

I should be a professional bubble blower.

An emergency conversation...I'm glad I can be there for my friends when they need me most.

I got to stay in bed and read.  Heaven.

Max's favorite part of grocery shopping.

Breakfast bowls...mine, Max's and Bobby the Bear's.

Have a lovely weekend!

Left to Right, Top to Bottom

1. Nothing says classy salad like dinosaur chicken nuggets.

3. We ran through every sprinkler we could find.

 

4. Max went right to bed.  Yay for a full evening with the husband!

5. Happy to be riding the train at the zoo.

6. My little fish.

7. Garage sale finds.  $3.50 people...$3.50.  

8.  God's truth at just the right time.  I love how He takes care of me.

9.  My first cooking experience with Max.  

10, 11, & 12.  Some of Max's favorite little people to hang out with.  We're heading there now!
