Service Project

March 5, 2012Randomness0
My MOMS Club did a service project last Friday. We made 22 fleece blankets for Fairview Ridges Hospital. Someone at the hospital decides which mothers/babies are in need of a blanket and donates it to them. It’s such a sweet idea. We also made some tie blankets (6 total) for Community 360. I haven’t made...

Maddie & Presents

March 1, 2012Maddie0
Here are a couple videos I uploaded of Maddie. They were from Maddie’s birthday when my mom, step-dad and youngest brother came over to give her her play kitchen and another toy.

Murder Is A Bad Day To Have A Baby

Dannie asked to try gymnastics earlier in the scho Dannie asked to try gymnastics earlier in the school year. We found a local gym and got her signed up.

She gets so much better each week and practices all the time at home. The couple videos are from her first week at practice. She is fearless and I love how she keeps trying until she gets it! 🤸‍♀️

But don’t worry, she’s not giving up hockey. Hockey is still #1 for her! 🏒❤️
I completed another sign for a friend of mine. Thi I completed another sign for a friend of mine. This was her husband’s writing that I pieced together from something his oldest daughter gave me. I also made some bracelets for my friend and each of the kids.  I wish this sweet family wasn’t going through this loss, but I hope his writing brings them some joy. 💔❤️

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
