green thumbs...

a ChambersMade family first...

we are planting a garden....from scratch...

we stared with seeds yesterday...

the kids got to pick out the seeds a few days ago*

so proud of their boxes of dirt

the kids are excited about their garden...

we will buy some plants (already bought 2 tomatoes plants and a pepper)

but I love the fact that we're going to try to start some from seeds...

Crafty Shower

Okay so I blogged last week about my friend, Rayna's baby shower...

and how, per Rayna's request, we play zero games!
I was okay with that
     (even though I love a good game)

together we talked about what to do instead of games
you do have to do SOMETHING
this would not be good...
Hello, welcome to the baby shower...
put your presents there...
okay now were're opening presents
okay, thanks, that was nice, good bye!
well, maybe you could, I think it's a little rude...um...odd...

So for the shower activity we decided to make oneies for the coming baby...

some onesies created by guests at the shower...
(btw 3 of these were created by kids the dino top middle made by  my boy child,
animals top right, my girl child, whale bottom left by a friends 11 yr old drama queen)

This is what you'll need...

Guest Blogging...

Today I am guest blogging over on my husband's blog...

my husband is the Children's Pastor at our church and has a blog for children and families called Redding First Families

...if you're used to reading my blog it's a different tone over there,

I asked him if I could write a blog about Easter, Death, the Crucifixion and our Children

so if you'd like to read my opinion on how, what, why about talking with our young children about this subject please head on over...
thanks....

Random Friday

Just have some random thoughts on this Friday morning...

I love new sheets...
   got new sheets for our bed yesterday....makes my heart happy

re-reading Hunger Games...

   not because of the movie.
   but because it's our book club book (chosen back in December)
& yes
     I had Hunger Games dreams all night long!
even with my new happy sheets....

girl child is sick on the last 2 days of school before spring break
....and today is the day they watch 'THE MOVIE'....
so this afternoon I will bring 'THE MOVIE' home...
pop some popcorn
     and the girl and I will have a nice little private viewing!
sad that she's sick...
     a little glad that this is how God worked out 'THE MOVIE' situation!
p.s. Beau and I have already watched 'THE MOVIE' and we were 100% okay with her watching it, zero hesitation...it's the perfect amount of information!

we have zero activities planned for spring break
     (besides THE MOVIE with the girl child tonight)
was hoping to visit the cousins, but I'm thinking sickness on both ends have canceled those plans
bummer...but thankful I never told the kids of the plans!

it's rainy and deary outside...feels like January...
I'm 'dressed' in my yoga pants...

     with zero plans to hit the gym today...
Spring Break...here we come!
over and out!

time for a shower

a sweet baby shower!

I had the pleasure of throwing a pintrest inspired baby shower for my friend Rayna....
she's pregnant with baby boy #2!

yesterday I shared about my cake pops or lack thereof for this shower....

I started pinning shower ideas to my 'party on' board
& was watching Rayna's 'Baby Rush #2' board

cake pop

my version...
making a popsicle flavor cake...

Creamsicle Cake

okay...confession...

oh, hello there

wow...so I dropped off the face of blogging for awhile...
life has been busy
and I've made the choice numerous times to not blog and hang out with my kids instead...
I'm cherishing my kids...
and then I'm also putting in steady hours at work...
so less time at home to waste on the internet keep my house clean
so now I have to spend those hours at home cleaning and such...
not blogging...
and well,
there's also pintrest...
