Mama's Christmas

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I sure did! We had the best time with all of our friends and family this year.
I want to share my family's favorite gifts and moments during this week, and since I still can't get the kids to sit still long enough for pictures, I'm going to share mine first. I have been needing a good coat because we will be heading to the mountains soon for a little getaway (I am hoping to see snow!) and my mom must have read my mind because she got me this. But then I started noticing that everyone and their brother had this style coat.....So I gave mine a little personal touch by crocheting some flowers and adding a little wool felt and embroidery. Now that's more like it.
I even added a little flower to the back shoulder.
I also got some new shoes! I'm usually not much of a shoe person, but these needed me....and I needed them. I don't even have to tell you how much I love this cup. It holds coffee. and it is my favorite colors. We're talking love at first sight here. And just when we thought there were no more gifts to open we found these in our chicken pen. Christmas chicks! By last night all of the eggs had hatched and we now have 12 baby chicks to love and enjoy! What a sweet Christmas gift.
Here is mama hen taking care of her little flock. Yeah, about that outfit Madeline has on, that is her Christmas PJ's, a princess dress-up dress, her new apron, and some new rain boots. The kid's got style. What can I say? LOL!

Hey Samantha,

Just wanted to comment so you would know that I got your reply. And related to that mystery I'm glad we got that solved that could have turned out not so nicely for your other cousin. I'm SO glad it didn't. I would have felt terrible. But since it didn't it was hilarious.:)

Maddy's outfit is great! She would fit right in with our girls any day! Love your new shoes, too. Glad you had such a nice Christmas with family and friends. We did, too, and it was such a blessing! Take care. Have a happy New Year. I may not be back to visit your blog for awhile as we head back to Peru on Thurs, Jan. 1 and things will be a bit nuts the rest of this week and after we arrive. Just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for you, friend. Love ya.

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We ...

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I ...

The Family Closet

It's another gray day so the pictures aren't great, but I wanted to get these posted since I have a few minutes. The family closet has changed my life people!! It has taken my most overwhelming chore from crazy to totally doable. We had to start in the laundry room because that is were most of this process starts. These storage racks went on sale for 69$ right after Christmas and we got 3. We also got several of the $3.50 Steralite clothes baskets because they fit side by side perfectly. In the laundry room I now have baskets labeled (Whites, Towels, Darks, Reds & Purples -we have a lot of those!) to separate clothes into, baskets marked "Clean" for clean clothes, a place for storage (extra dish cloths, table cloths, socks that need a mate). The laundry room is much less intimidating now, I actually like going in there! I also now have room for my drying rack in here! I painted a huge henna design on the wall to pretty it up a bit. :) The Caffee sign ...
