Just a few things I wanted to tell you


1. There are still NO BABY GOATS. And yes, they are still laughing at me.

2. Today is Ben's 30th birthday! Happy birthday hunny! I love you!


3. The new issue of Sew Wow is out! They did a very cute version of our Miss Madeline, there is a free purse pattern in this issue and some good tutorials too. You can see the whole issue online here.

4. Tim cracked me up this morning! I had just woke up and we were snuggling and talking on the couch when he said "Mama! Your bweath stinks! What have you been eatin?" LOL! I laughed so hard at him! He acted like I had got up before him and had a spoon full of poo or something. Crazy kid.

5. Ben is making friendship bracelets for all of us on the couch next to me right now. He rocks.

6. Sanuk sent my shoes this week. THREE PAIR! They sent me white, off white, and black. The girl on the goat farm in Alabama, who started out with one pair of Sanuks, now has four pair! Woot! I can't wait to get started on them.

7. Ben is seriously thinking of setting up a live "goat cam" for us! That way we can log in and watch them online, we could even have a link here on the blog. Then you could see our babies when they get here! He is so awesome!

8. Tim got a bug field kit yesterday so the kids have been outside all morning catching, inspecting, and learning about bugs. I love "toys" like that.

9. My sinus stuff is GONE. Thank you Jesus!

10. We went to the printer yesterday and we got to visit Cindy. Oh my goodness! Ben and I had so much fun! I got to hold and kiss her sweet baby for the first time and her kids entertained us and showered us with gifts, they are so stinkin cute! Her oldest daughter Emily and I are planning a big get-together again soon, I can't wait!

11. We get to go out and eat hot wings tonight for Ben's birthday. I love everything about that. I don't have to cook, I don't have to eat something that I cooked, I don't have to clean up, I LOVE hot wings, and being with them is always so much fun!

Happy weekend friends! I hope you have a lovely one!

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 ...
