Disclosure Post

Image
By
In light of our medical bills and at the encouragement of many of you, I have decided to try to put my writing skills to work.  At times, I might be writing a review of a certain product or website.  These will be sponsored by advertisers and I will be paid.  I am required by the company I am working with to write a disclosure post so that everyone knows.  If this bothers or concerns you, please know that I am in no way trying to make money off of our current situation.  I hope that by now you can feel the depths of our love for Abby through my writing and we would much rather be a boring, normal family! 

God has other plans for us though and I am actually hoping that taking this avenue gets our story out and that we can be an encouragement to even more people!  I am learning that God has given me the gift of writing and if I can use that to help ease our financial burden a bit, I figure it is worth a shot! 

I will not accept any advertisements that compromise my beliefs or make me feel uncomfortable.  If at any time I start to feel that I don't like the way my blog is heading, I will simply stop writing reviews!

I am trying this out, but am also open to other ways to keep a paid blog.  I've been researching and this looks like a good company to work with. If you have other thoughts or suggestions, please let me know!

Please contact me directly if you have questions or concerns.  :)

Hi Julie,
You should take a look at www.Tumblr.com. More flexible than Blogger and you can set it up to automatically push your blogs updates directly to your Facebook if you want. Nice audio and video options as well. Free:)

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

By
If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it never wi

The Potty Man

By
Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

By
I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
