Over half way there!

I'm needing a lot more sit down time lately, I can still be active for about half the day, but if I do more than that I pay for it at night. I think of it like this, I have a certain amount of steps everyday, and I just have to spend them wisely. :) I'm fighting for 37 weeks this time friends! I want to be able to say that I carried at least one child full term. And just one pregnancy without Mag Sulfate or a Brethine pump would be nice too, but I'm not going to push it, I will do whatever I have to just to make it to 37 weeks. So with the extra sit down time comes extra knitting! No big deal! With this extra knitting time everyday I am over half way finished with my boy blanket. Woot woot! I love it, it's so soft and pretty. I'm thinking about knitting a girl one like this now too....maybe. It's not too late to change my mind and frog the other one. I'll have to think on that. :) xo, Sam

PS. I have wanted to tell you guys this for a while but I keep forgetting, go here scroll down to "Like Arrows" (it's the third one down on the right) and listen. I promise your heart will be blessed! I've been knitting, praying for this baby, and listening to this sweet song for days and it blesses me every time! For some reason it doesn't play on my laptop but it plays on my iPhone. I hope it works for you guys! Tell me what you think!

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

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 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
