da best fam eva

my fam is hopping crazy fun...but one of the best things i got when i married my hubs {besides him, of course} is super awesome sibs...then jon married meg, and there was a little extra sun on my shoulders!


meg is def my {almost} sister...i am so blessed to have 2 other super fab SILs too in allison and christin...but that will have to wait for another day.

meg is awesome...first, she and i can pound out some art and sewing and crafting projects quicker than anyone in the guiness book of world records. {we don't ask to be recorded because it would be embarrassing for others...ha}


second...in spite of the fact that we have always lived 14 hours away, my girlies know her like she lived an hour away. she makes each of my girlies feel uber special and gets them little tiny tidbits of love that arrive in cutesie packages and there are squeals in the air!

third...and most importat to me, she challenges me to be a better me. despite the fact that she is gorgeous and can do almost anything she puts her mind to, she is humble and faithful and a lover of the lord and her hubs and kids. she is a leader by example...and by her walk of faith.

jon and meg literally sold their house and are living in a basement of another person's home right now because of their faith and where the lord is calling them. ok, just go read here and you'll be in love too! there are amazing things coming in their life...and they always turn those things to others!! not gonna lie...they rock! watch out ft. collins...


so go and say a prayer for my fav meg {and jon and the boys}...and then go and look at her fam blog, and you'll see two of the cutest little dudes on the planet.

thanks, meg!

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
