So fun! Was the smaller tree great or what? Still getting into the spirit without too much to do. I'm especially a fan of Rachel's earring. So clever, fashionista! ;)

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.  ...

Reflecting: a post in honor of Micah Lloyd

By -
My personality is the type that wants to move on from things quickly . You fall down, get up fast and if there's no sign of blood, brush it off and forget it happened. The difficult thing about that, is when really hard trials and sorrows or just difficult life changes come my way, I push through them quickly { too quickly } and then pay for it months later. So as I've been praying about this healing process from losing our baby - praying that God would comfort our family, give us strength and peace through such a difficult time and also help me to bless others going through the same situation. I decided it would be good for me, personally, to just jot down things I'm feeling, ways I'm learning, and what incredible joy God is giving me, even through this terrible time. **It is a  long post and I know it doesn't apply to some of you.  It will most likely be my last post about Micah, so I felt it was important to write.  Even though our family will still go t...
