hmmm.. not sure what to title this

so, since the last post here, maddie has turned 6!!!  and we are having her birthday party tomorrow.  we are taking her to the beach because that's what she wants.  and doing a barbie party.  while she doesn't know what her cake looks like, i am sure she will love it!

we found out we can take over this house and not have to move so that's good.  the better news is that we will have only power to pay.  before we were paying 10 less plus water and power, cable etc.  so that will be a breather.  it's a large house, yes it needs work, but all houses need work to become homes.  i can't wait to get started personalizing this house into our home (even if it is temporary).

now onto other things, not sure why, but i am feelign kind of akward when i go to the mommy group here as of lately because all of those mommy's have babies or toddlers, and my kids are school age.  not to mention it almost feels like i am not wanted sometimes.  i mean, i plan events with them and then all of a sudden the events have to be handed over to this one or that one. or they are changed totally.  it just makes me feel really unwanted.  i do think that the next meet which is the last for the year will be my last time traveling down to holiday for it.  i think i would rather figure out a way to find some mom's in the girls ages to start my own mommy group with even if it is just going to the park for the kids to play while we momma's hang out.  i have one friend with a son the age of kenzie, and her niece has a son the age of maddie so maybe we can start working on that together... just feeling really left out.  it's like most of my friends are only friends when it's convenient for THEM.  and that's not what friendship is supposed to be.


and that's my vent for now.

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.
