November 28, 2011/ sarah

Didn't have too much blogging time,

or my own computer while we were out of town for

Thanksgiving...so I've been a little MIA!

first things first,

the winner of the Knitted Simplicity giveaway is:

-chosen by random.org-

Stacie!! (yay friend!) :)

and thanks again Sarah for doing this!!

also, sorry I missed my Sunday

Pictureless Post link-up,

but it will be back next Sunday for sure!!

AND

I'm having a GREAT DOUBLE GIVEAWAY

on Thursday for my birthday!!

(i'm relishing in my last few days of 28)

SO make sure you come back and enter!!

ok well that's all for now,

short and sweet. :)

On top of traveling and the holiday,

I have a very sick hubby, and a on-the-verge-of-sick baby,

so its been tough to make blogging time lately...

I'm {blank} because . . .

Hey kids. :)

Hope you are as stuffed as I am after Turkey Day!

I'm Sarah, if you don't know me, and I'm sharing some randoms

about myself with you! and if we are already bf (bloggy friends),

you can get to know me better!!

(im copying this idea from some friends...

casey, emily, and a few others!)

I'm {BLANK} because . . .

I'm weird because . . .

I eat like a kid, I have PBJ and Spaghettios for lunch all the time

(and i did this long before i was a mama)

I hate wearing shoes.

I rarely accessorize, but I HAVE to wear earrings every day.

I am very coordinated in physical activity, but I trip at home all the time.

I HAVE to sleep with my memory foam pillow, or I don't sleep.

I put deodorant on before bed.

I'm a bad friend because . . .

I am not a phone person at all.

(so), I'm terrible at initiating phone calls.

I'm bad about letting "life" get in the way of relationships,

when really the relationship would ADD life to me.

I'm still figuring out how to coordinate naptime/grumpy baby time

with scheduling time to spend with friends.

I'm a good friend because . . .

When I say I am praying for you, I am.

I try to speak truth from the Lord,

and don't hesitate to point out where you might be listening to lies.

I don't tell you I'm "fine" if I'm not.

I want to get to know your significant other bc he is important to you.

I'm sad because . . .

My hubby and my baby have both been sick this week.

There is no cure for Parkinson's Disease, which my Dad suffers from.

My little girl is growing up way. too. fast.

(she turned 23 months today!)

I'll be 29 next week, and that makes me feel old.

This is the last 6 weeks of just me and Abigail, before #2 arrives.

I'm happy because . . .

In 6 weeks-ish, I get to fall in love all over again with our new princess.

We are putting up the Christmas tree next week.

(it's my bday tradition)

I get to witness a good friend get married this weekend.

I love blogging, and this whole community. yall rock.

It's getting cold finally.

God continues to meet our every need, even to the penny.

I have a family who loves me so well.

Hope you learned a little bit about me,

I'd LOVE to get to know you better!!

(i think everyone should do a post similar to this,

its so fun to learn about each other!)

BLESSINGS!!

-s

which Im def gonna be parusing as Christmas draws near!

Check them out,

Thankful for HIS desires for her...

November 23, 2011/ sarah

Yesterday I got to help out with the

Thanksgiving Feast

in Abigail's Mother's Day Out class!

It was so special, to see her "in action" at school

an also to be a part of her first school party...the first of many to come!

I got to spend some time with her on the playground

and see her dance around during singing time!

It is the most precious thing to see her light up with all her friends and teachers.

God totally used that experience to remind me

that HE IS WITH HER, even when I'm not,

And that His desire for her to thrive in life

is even stronger than mine.

I am so thankful I got to see that.

Short and sweet post today,

but I have to get to packing, cooking, etc, for our Turkey Day travels!

Have an safe and wonderful day today

as you all do your Thanksgiving prep!

and in all the stress, don;'t forget to breath and be thankful.

also, don't forget to enter this GIVEAWAY, going on until Friday!!

November 22, 2011/ sarah

Doesn't this Coffee Sleeve make you just want a cup of Jo?seriously though, its so cute. :)you want one??

My sweet bloggy friend Sarah (great name, right?)is offering you an awesome giveaway today...totally in time for the season of knitted goodness!! :)here she is:

Hi! My name is Sarah, and I blog over at The Fontenot Four.

I am so excited that Sarah asked me to do a giveaway on her blog for her!

I just love Sarah and her blog!

I have a little Etsy shop called Knitted Simplicity.

In this shop, you'll find a selection of hand-knit goodies - from amazing cotton wash cloths, to headbands, to reusable coffee sleeves, to scarves! I began this little business as a small way to try to help out at home - I have been unable to work for the past few years because we have a 5 year old daughter with multiple special needs who is also chronically ill, and I stay home with her. She's such a blessing to our family!Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
