Summer Pick Me Up

A few weeks ago, I saw a flash sale on Very Jane for some cute DIY cabochon earring sets.  I immediately ordered two sets to put together with my favorite little girls (daughter and friend).  They were super simple to do since it was just gluing together.  We've had fun choosing out cute colors to wear with our outfits.  It's definitely a fun summer pick me up!

Even though this set is not on Very Jane's special anymore, it's still a great deal in her Etsy shop.  Go snag yourself a set to enjoy!

A Pinterest Favorite

Raise your hand if you love Pinterest?  Right, who doesn't love Pinterest?  If  you haven't tried it, you should!  I must admit, I have a pinning problem.  If I like it, I pin it.  It does have it's benefits and we have tried many new things found on that treasure trove of awesomeness.  I thought it would be fun for me to share here so I can be encouraged to keep trying out the tips, tricks and recipes I keep pinning. 

I really enjoy Mel's Kitchen Cafe.  She has so many great recipes!  This particular recipe has become a stand by in our house.  It's quick, easy and everyone loves it!  That's not an easy task for this household of five!

It's not super spicy and yummy as is.  Also, depending on what you've got in your fridge, it's even yummy with a lot of veggies.  We've even had it without the nuts and it still is a fav.  We recommend!

With the impending delivery of our new baby girl, I've felt it was time to get some Christmas stuff done. 

Announcing the Christmas in July event! 

I'm thrilled to let you know that the ever popular "Behold Him" kit is now available in a limited number of kits.  This first batch of kits must be ordered soon!  I will be putting in an order for my wood on July 21st.  Orders after that are first come, first served.  First batch sold out!  Next wood order will be placed August 21st.  Full kits will be shipped out up to two weeks after this date.  Since I don't cut the wood myself, you must prepay by August 21st to ensure a kit.  Next order date will be 11/01/2012.  All wood orders must be ordered by this date to ensure you reserving a wood set.  Paper only kits will be shipped out within one week of purchase.

Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3...

*ahem*
I would say that I'm surprised that I haven't been blogging for so long, but I'm not.  You see, I've been a little burned out, a bit overwhelmed, not inspired and a bit nauseated.  Yep.  I'm expecting baby #4 into our little family.  Our little family that is seeming really big lately.

The Fam - complete with daughter wearing her favorite nerd glasses and a 28 week huge bump!

Baby girl is guestimated to arrive around October 4th.  There will be nearly a six year gap between baby and my youngest but I knew she was supposed to come to our family.  Knew as in a shocked myself with how strong the inspiration was.  And even though I have already had three healthy babies, I can't help but worry and worry and worry some more about this little friend of ours.  And debating a name for our little dancing baby girl.   Apparently Babycakes is not a socially acceptable name.

So that's really what's been happening in our neck of the woods.  We're excited and exhausted all that the same time.
