Time Saver!!

So, I try to be a Pinterest mom.  Sometimes it works out, and sometimes it turns out more like this.  

(Just ask me about the nail polish cookies sometime!) 😆😆😆

I recently learned about Paperless Post, and guys, I think I found a way to make my life easier!!  This company has the CUTEST e-cards and invitations!  You can add your own pictures to many of them and the editing is very simple.  Here are a few cute ones that I found:

(great name too, right?!)

Click here to view the beautiful envelope that goes with this one!
(fun Harry Potter card)

(my Ninja boy would like this and you can actually put your child's face in as the ninja!)

And man, I wish I'd found Paperless Post before Abby's cooking party!  Check out this PERFECT invitation that would have saved me so much time!

I love the cookie envelopes that go with this one.  Check them out here.

Many of the designs are free and others can be created by purchasing coins.  Each card you send out is a certain number of coins depending on the complexity of the card.  (Ie: photo cards will cost more per card you send out than a card without a personalized photo).  But when you compare this to the amount we pay each year on Christmas cards...this is a BARGAIN!!

I think the thing I like best is that it cuts down so much on time and money spent printing cards and mailing them.  With Matt working at our church, we give out A LOT of Christmas cards!  While I will still send out some Christmas cards this year, I'm planning to send Paperless Post e-cards to some and possibly transition over to all e-cards next year.  I've already started working on my Paperless Post design, but no sneak peeks on that one!  :)

So check out Paperless Post and let me know what you think!

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
