Hello Monday (Fathers and Fun)

June 17, 2013 by Leigh Leave a Comment

Hello to a rainy Monday. I'm out with my oldest son today, therapy and running errands. I love spending days with just one kid. It's always a special time. Last week was full of so much to keep me busy and it was lots of fun! I'm slowly revamping and adding to parts of our home to make it more "US". So I stop by the Goodwill Store every other week when I pass by. I usually find really good deals on at least organizing bins. But this week I lucked out and found this brand NEW lamp from Target that's perfect for my desk I'm working on building. And it was only $12. I can't decide whether or not I'm painting the shade....so we shall see. I just finished 2 super fun projects with this AWESOME Mini gold spray paint I found. (details coming soon.) And I'm working on a new project with these wood dowels from Home Depot. SUPER Excited about this project.....can't wait to get working on it and share!! … [Continue reading...]

5 Minute Friday- Sleep or Listen?

June 14, 2013 by Leigh 3 Comments

This is how I feel sometimes. Ok, a lot of times. I'm tired, exhausted and worn out. This in turn makes it harder for me to listen to God. If I can't take care of myself, if I can't keep my focus on Him, then I cannot hear what He's saying to me. I can't hear what his will is for my life. And then I miss it. I miss a lot. Because I'm too self involved to realize that he's even talking to me. I'm really then just walking through the motions of life. That's NOT what he wants for us. He wants us to be awake, be alive, be involved and listening to him. So I'll keep striving. I've started a more strict bedtime schedule for myself in hopes of being able to start my morning bible studies back up. Because again, if I'm asleep, I can't hear what he's telling me to do with my dreams. Or what to dream. Amen and have a great weekend! I'm linking up with Lisa Jo. … [Continue reading...]

Hello Monday Welcome To Summer!

June 10, 2013 by Leigh 1 Comment

Hello Monday! Hello to being back on the blog after a couple of weeks. And with that, let's give a big GOOD BYE to my lately serious depression..... Hello to an early Birthday at Nana's. Iron Man has attacked our house yet again. Hello to one of the birthday cupcakes....the one I ate the icing off of and let Gavin eat the cupcake. Yep, Noah is drinking his icing through a straw. (Or trying to). We raise kids right over here. hee hee. My WONDERFUL Mother In Law let me stay the night ALONE in one of her guest rooms in her B&B. I needed a night away and it was fabulous. She even made the most wonderful dinner. Especially for this gal who doesn't really cook. This was so super duper yum! Sunset from my room. Then I took the biggest bubble bath EVER! I put too many bubbles by accident and they literally where taller than my head. It was hilarious. Plus the tub was definitely big enough for two people. Hello to a new week of clean … [Continue reading...]
