wow has it been a week already

since i last posted... well here goes: last thursday, i posted the challenge lo that i did. I have since then done 2 more challenges. they are on another forum and they can't be posted here yet. not because the rules say that but because i don't want them put here just yet. so here's the update:

friday: ryan worked and kenzie went home with yaya from school. maddie and i got cc from the bus. we all three then cooked chicken broccoli spaghetti alfredo and garlic toast. it was soooooo good!!!

saturday: we watched isabel for angelena and took her to yaya's house so i could print the bible verse that i needed for bookmarks i made for my church am womens group. i'll be uploading the pics and doing another post about that. kenzie, kaylie, and maddie got in the hot tub and isabel swung on the hammock. i am not sure, but i think she was scared of the jets in the hot tub.

sunday: we went to first/second services at church. i have to say the special was wonderful! then we had an early labor day because ryan and kevin had to work on monday, so we had a cook out on sunday. yummmy!

monday: kenzie didn't have school and we just hung out. it wasn't a good day. we were at each other's throats, but we are trying different strategies now to see if we can't fix that.

tuesday: kenzie went to school, when she got home, we went for a ride with angelena, cc, and isabel. maddie stayed home with daddy. at the end of our ride because the girls were good, angelena took them to 7-11 and bought them a slushie. kenzie being the big sister shared hers with maddie. we then went to big lots and walmart to just "window" shop. kenzie was really good about not buying anything and just adding things to her christmas list instead! it was quite cool of her! then we came home, i was cooking and kenzie was doing her homework with daddy and i when i let the mashed potatoes over boil LOL but that is fixable right...

wednesday: that would be today. kenzie's at school, ryan is at work. maddie is talking my head off, and i have gotten some projects done... lets see what else i can get done today!!!

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
