Thankful Thursday

Last week we were driving around and the lilacs were in full bloom. I told the kids to tell daddy I wanted a lilac bush for Mother's Day. Do you know the next day God had a lilac bush waiting at the post office for me? I had filled out a survey for the Arbor Day Foundation months ago and they sent me 1 lilac bush and some evergreen trees as a thank you gift. By the way we love the Arbor Day Foundation because we love planting baby trees and watching them grow. Great thing to do with your kids if you've never done it. It's a yearly tradition for us.

Last night my mom had been watching Jaxson and Amaya while I took Paige to dance. I went to drop off Paige afterwards for a little while and this is what I found. Amaya had decided to have a Lemonade stand and it was so cute and they were so excited. I am so thankful for my mom's neighbors who were king enough to pay my kids a dollar (they weren't even charging a dollar) for a drink my mom said was really not good and they drank it anyway.

What are you thankful for today?

PS Don't forget to check out Mom's baskets in the post below this one =)

Do You Have Your Mother's Day Gift Yet?

My Mom would love to make you up a gift basket for the special Mother in life life. Mom can even include a special gift card that is made out of seeded paper that you plant and it turns into beautiful flowers to be included with your basket.

You won't find better noodles than these just ask any of her customers. I know I'm her daughter but it's the truth.

If you live locally then you already know how good they are. Also if you live locally you can save on the shipping by emailing your order and then picking it up yourself. You can email her at: judymcoe@comcast.net.

If you don't live locally you can order then online by clicking here. She is very careful about packaging them so that they arrive in perfect condition.

What are you waiting for? These are the best noodles ever!!!

PS If you have had mom's noodles can you leave a comment telling everyone how yummy they are?

Crazy Love

Has anyone read this book? I have been hearing about this book everywhere. Actually I'm pretty sure God has been asking me to read this book for a long time but fear has held me back from reading it.

One thing I vowed to God for my 90 day journey is to try to give fear to him and let him carry it rather than me carry it. The other day I got brave and ordered this book and it is now sitting in front of me but I'm honestly having a hard time opening it because I'm afraid of what God might ask of me by reading this book.

I'm going to do it though, the kids are asleep so I'm going to start reading. If you have read this will you tell me some of the things God called you to do after reading the book.

If you haven't read it you can watch this video below to explain a little about the book.

Here She Is!!!

I know most of you look at this and can't see the beauty that I see in it. I see a beautiful little yellow (OK, someday anyway) car that is full of stories behind it. Makes you wonder how excited the first person was that bought it? Maybe someone fell in love in this car? Maybe someone had their first kiss in this car?

Oh, I sure hope Chris can bring her back to life someday!

I do have to say that my dear hubby is pretty excited that I love something that looks like this. He has waited 12 years for me to go crazy over something like this.
