Mr. potato Head

Brody is sick today so no Stylin' Sunday today.

I really want to make one of these felt Mr. Potato Heads. It would be perfect for Brody (or Travis) to play with in church. Go here for step by step instructions.

Gingerbread Igloo

Instead of the typical gingerbread house, why don't you have an igloo this year?
Of course it would be better if you could decorate yourself. Too bad.

Posts of Christmas Past

I just added a link on my side bar with all of my posts of Christmas past. I always think it's fun to look back and see what I was posting about it the past.


If you're looking for a fun idea to count down to Christmas you can use this idea we did a few years ago for Trav's parents. We got 24 gifts together and wrapped them up. Each gift had a tag that had a number 1-24 on it. Each day they got to open 1 present until Christmas. We had a lot of fun putting it together, it kind of makes me want to do it again this year.

Thankful

November 2008

Today I am so tired! I was up in the middle of the night with Brody, the poor boy is teething.
Instead of dreading getting out of bed and wishing him back to sleep, I sat there with him snuggled in my arms and I was grateful. I am so grateful for every moment I get to spend with him and even more grateful for the times he wants me to snuggle him.


The other day while Brody and I were watching Shrek, he was sitting next to me and he kept putting his head on my lap and then he finally just crawled up on my lap and cuddled with me. It made me so happy I started to cry.

I am so thankful for ever moment I get to spend with my Brody boy!

Have you heard of the website What Should I Read Next? It's a simple website dedicated to helping readers find their next book, based on previous books they have enjoyed reading. Pretty cool huh? All you have to do is enter the name of the last book you have read, push a button and a list of possible books is ready for you to discover.

Brody's cute little houndstooth romper has been in the family for quite a while. A few of his uncles wore this same outfit when they were his age.
