Happy Reformation Day




My 3 little FAIRIES and PETER PAN enjoyed a beautiful night of collecting candy at Grandmas and Grandpas... The weather was gorgeous, the costumes were cute and the candy was plentiful. Here are a few captured memories from this years dress up day...

The Fuel Behind My Busy Days...

Coffee and my trusty planner/journal-
Every morning, after spending time in the Word, I pull out my trusty planner and review my day. I am a schedule maniac- everything has to be written down and lists are made. I LOVE my journal/planner from Starbucks- and I LOVE my cup of Joe....

Deal of the Day



I found this great Bumbo on Craig's List for only $15 (they usually retail for $35-$40) I LOVE it and Elijah LIKES it for the time being- he is getting better at sitting in it. Also, he rolled from his belly to back last night and today! My little man is growing up!

Getting my Faries Ready for Friday...




I made these ADORABLE wands for my three little girls to use this Halloween with their fairy costumes. I LOVE them, they are so whimsical and pretty! (and they were very inexpensive to make) Stay tuned for pictures of my "Peter Pan" themed family...

Boo At the Zoo



This weekend, the zoo had a VERY fun (and crowded) event for Halloween called, "Boo at the Zoo." I was so excited to take the family because the theme was super heroes and I remembered some GREAT photos from my friend Rene's Facebook page last year when they all dressed up as The Incredibles. So, I put together 6 costumes for our family to look incredible!

I had to work Saturday from 10:30 to 3, so we thought we'd go right when it opened at 9 am and stay an hour and then leave. Well, we drove the 20 minutes to get there and when we arrived there were SO many people that by the time we waited in line to get into the zoo, we would have had to turn around and come right back so I could get to work. So, after much explaining and reassuring that we would return after mommy was done with work, we left.

We did return after my shift was over and spent around 2 hours trick or treating. I can't tell you how many compliments we got on our "look". People were constantly stopping us to take our pictures! It was funny! The girls got a good stash of candy and I felt pretty incredible that I pulled it all off ( with the help of my handsome, incredible super-hero husband!)

I Did It!!!!!

So, I found these hair clips on Etsy and totally LOVE the look. I thought that I could possibly recreate them for my girls and I did!! They were very easy and cheap to make and I plan to make a bunch of different colors to go with lots of outfits! YEAH!!! What do you think of my recreation?

First Food...




So, tonight, we decided to try to give Elijah some rice cereal- He seemed to really enjoy it.
