the inner you

jada and i went for coffee the other day after mom's day at preschool. my girlies love to spend time at starbucks drinking coffee...who doesn't? it's fun!

we walk up to the counter and she says, "i want hot chocolate. lots of whip cream. actually, extra whip cream. and no lid."

the barista, bless her heart, did not laugh out loud, but wrote it all on the cup and held her smile to a minimum.


"me, i'll have a venti bold with hazel nut. and room."
well, you have to love a girl who knows what she wants...and knows how to order it too!

Oh my your kiddos are so cute.

And guess what? I have exciting news!

You won the hairbows on today's giveaway at kidz. I was so worried that the winner wouldn't have girls, but looks like I worried in vain. You can definitely use bows in your household!!!

Just email your address and I'll get them sent.

Congrats!

Such cute pictures, it's great - she's a young lady who knows what she wants, you go girl.

Sorry it's snowing, I'm in Nebraska and it's cold again. We had a couple of days in the 60's and now we're dipping into the 20's again.

I can't wait to feel the heat from the sun on my face again.

Have a great day
Visiting from SITS.

I love it! I love the barista that took the order and didn't turn to question you about it, I love that Jada knows exactly what she wants and how to order it, I love that you take her to your fave hangout and I love Starbucks.

I think that is great. I always ordered for my kids and now they are so bashful when it comes to things like that. I wish I had let them order more while they were younger but that is hindsight now. So my oldest has to step out of his comfort zone just to order food! But he is still young...:0)

Cute story.
Adorable...a girl who knows what she wants...how cute!

Love that she knows what she wants and how to get it. Before you know it she'll be ordering everything better that you. LOL "I'll have a tall, half caff, no fat, slight cinnamon sprinkles, machiatto. Thanks."
Karen said…
Oh I love your little Jada! What a fun time.
Jen said…
That girl sure does know what she wants. Love it!!!!

And I'll have a coffee from Tim Horton's. heh heh

Starbucks is not my favorite, but I'd go there if it meant I got to hang out with your clan! " )

Oh that is ADORABLE!
Jenni said…
Good for her! I still stumble over my order at Starbucks!
Yay! Way to go Jada! Ordering by one's self is a great milestone (in my opinion). She's so precious in those pictures :D

Hi there. I just stumbled on your blog and I am so happy to find yet another adoptive mommy! Jada is adorable! Gotta love a girl who loves starbucks!

What a fantastic "date" with Mommy!!
jenn said…
That is too cute.

Shiloh asks her dolls if they want coffee. (And no, I don't let her drink coffee, but she has had some caffeine free coffee from a woman at church and loved it.)
Elizabeth said…
What a fun memory for you and Jada.

I think that Stunt man could order my iced coffee at DD too:) That is so cute!

I think we should all have extra whipped cream. :)

She is just adorable!


I don't like starbucks whip cream. It tastes funny.

My standard order is:

Non-fat No-whip Peppermint Mocha

I love the shot of the cup! Too funny! You could be in trouble with a girlie who already knows what she wants!! Good for her though!
Lorina said…
She is too cute for words!
She is ADORABLE! I still fumble when I walk up to a Starbucks counter. I can't remember what it is I wanted and they get so impatient with me!

Take care~ ♥,Lilly

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
