Insta Friday

Here's a bit about my week, courtesy of cell-phone pictureswe had our last MOPS of the year on Thursday.
Here were my gifts for my girls, note card sets topped off with chocolateonce upon a time, I swore Crocs were the ugliest things ever,
and I certainly would never wear them.
Then I found this pair for $20, and I have worn them every day
for 2 weeks straight. I'm now eating my Croc-hating words.that's my baby....on her big girl bike....sigh.more ruffle-filled pillows in the works, s.w.e.e.t.

Happy Friday everyone!

Tuesday Randomness

Happy Tuesday, everyone!
How about some randomness???

1. On Saturday, while my mom and I were busy shopping at the Allegan Antiques Market,
Eric was attempting to get yard work done with Claire.

He tweeted about it, and this is what he wrote :

Yard work with a 3 year old as a helper is brutal.
#gettingNOTHINGdone #lookateverybug

If you ask me, hash tags are probably one of the funniest things on Earth.

2. I made my friend Abi's recipe for pulled pork BBQ yesterday and WOW was it ever good!
Even better, I get to eat the leftovers for lunch today!

3. Rebel.reclaimed is celebrating their one year anniversary this week, send them some love!
(or better yet, stop by the store and buy yourself a treasure!)

4. A picture of my gift tags was used yesterday in a post on the Etsy West Michigan blog.
Thanks Sara Lynn!
5. My craft room got a serious cleaning this weekend, much needed for sure. I crack up when people see these pictures and assume my craft room is always that clean. Next time it gets uber-messy I'll snap some pictures and reveal what it really looks like 90% of the time!

Happy Tuesday!

Monday's 10 Things

Here's what I'm most thankful for, right now!
~
1. Feeling so proud of my baby girl up on stage at her dance recital.
2. Grandparents for coming to watch.
3. Spending an enjoyable day at the antique market with my mom.
4. Coming home to hear about the fun Eric & Claire had together.
(including being fresh back from a bear hunt in the woods!)
5. A successful new product launch!
(as of Saturday noon, two of the three pillows were already sold, eek!)
6. The smell of fresh-cut grass + doing yard work as a family.
7. Grilling out on a Friday night, it doesn't get any better than that!
8. Waking up to reports that at least a small amount of justice has been given to the victims of 9/11.
9. My brother, serving in the Navy.
10. All of our troops who are willing to take such huge risks and make sacrifices for our freedoms.

Fresh Start Sunday

So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
