Fun Mother and Daughter Shopping Trip

My parents came down to visit us last weekend. We had so much fun just hanging out and visiting and doing a whole lot of nothing (because isn't that what a vacation is all about?)

My mom and I had decided that we were both in need of new

earrings so we decided to go shopping while she was in town.

Here is my mom with a couple of fun crazy earrings that we were

debating about getting....

I thought these earrings would match Nathan's car perfectly.

Do you think I should get these for those fun times when

we are out in his lime green car????

After we had finally decided on some earrings and

had fun looking at all of the other items in the store, we decided we

should go check out Hobby Lobby. My mom is hosting a

table for a Christmas brunch this year and we needed some

inspiration and ideas on how to decorate her table. So off we go....

So we start in the Christmas aisle with all of the stockings, just

looking for that perfect inspiration....

Look at this stocking, doesn't it have the perfect Elf toes???

And around the corner is the best sign to go with the above stocking.

It says Elf Wanted:

no experience necessary

Pointy ears and curly

toes not required

Well of course you won't need curly toes we have the stocking

for you to wear :)

I thought this sign was awesome!!!

Here I am with some fun purple Christmas decorations...

Do you think these would make the best table decorations???

We are just having waaay to much fun at this store.

There are so many awesome things to see and so much

Christmas stuff....

Maybe some Santa Clause statues are the way to go?

Here is a whole aisle of different Santa Claus's...

I hope you enjoyed following our shopping trip. We had such a blast

getting to spend time together and enjoy shopping and looking

at all of the Christmas stuff. We found some great inspiration pieces

to use for the table decorating also, but you will have to wait until

after the brunch to see just what we come up with for that :)

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?" I remember being taught this when I was pretty young. Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything. In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with. Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." Unfortunately, this saying is not true either. Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other. There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below. It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Perfect Tote Bag

After searching for quite awhile I have finally found the perfect tote bag. I wanted a small tote that I could take as a carry-on if I fly or that would be an easy bag to take if I was going out of town for just a weekend and did not need to pack for a week (which I am really good at doing even when not necessary). So I started a search and went the rounds of all the stores in town to see if I could find something that I liked that was a good size. I wanted a tote that was on wheels and had a handle so I didn't have to carry it all the time, but one that was smaller than my suitcase that I normally take when I go out of town. So finally after going the rounds of all the stores several times, I have finally found the tote that is just right for me. It has a handle, is not very large (but large enough to take everything that I will need) and it has wheels. I am also pretty sure that I will be able to take it as a carry-on when I fly to Boise in a couple...

Jarius' Daughter

I was praying for healing for some people the other day and the thought kept coming to me, if God can raise Jarius' daughter from the dead and heal the leper from leprosy, there is nothing that He can't do. I decided to look up the story of Jarius' daughter because it has been a while since I have read that. There were a few things that really struck me when I was reading this passage this time. This passage is found in Luke 8:40-56 and Mark 5:22-43 Now, I have been raised in the church and heard this story several times through my life and I am raising my kids to read the Bible now. Sometimes, I feel like when I read the Bible, "How could you not have faith and not believe when you could see what was happening right in front of you?" Did you realize that at this time in history, it had been 400 years since a prophet of God had been seen? Now that is something amazing to me. 400 years since any miracles had been performed, yet these people...
