Snap Fashion Jewelry Giveaway

Posted in Homemaking, and Reviews

Two girls on a warm spring afternoon + Snap Fashion Jewelry = Lots of creative fun Last week, we received a Snap Fashion Jewelry Studio kit from SmartLab Toys.  Due to our crazy week, we didn’t have the opportunity to pull it out until Monday afternoon.  Munchkin and her friend were happily playing with their American Girl Dolls when I slipped outside and told them I had a special craft for them.  Their faces lit up as they totally enjoying doing different crafts together.  They quickly checked out the idea and instruction book.  This took them a bit of time…

Washing Trucks

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #122 Munchkin has asked Daddy and I to come up with ways that she can earn some money around the house.  After walking by the rather dirty trucks, Daddy decided that he would pay her to wash them.  Her pay will be based upon the quality of her work and whether she decides to wash both the outside and clean the inside. Munchkin is doing a great job.  Yes, she’s occasionally getting a bit side-tracked, but she is a 12-year-old girl.  **grin**  Daddy was able to hobble downstairs and outside to check out her work which made…

New Every Morning

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

Project 365 – #121 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. ~Lamentations 3:22-26~

Hills and Valleys

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #120 It’s funny how animals do crazy things when they are excited.  Our puppy will chase his tail or run around and do short little barks when he gets really excited.  It’s fun to see him get these little bursts of energy out of no where.  When we were out walking, we saw this dog in a backyard.  He kept jumping up to see us over the backyard wall.  It was way too funny.  I finally was able to snap a picture while he was jumping in the air.  This is one of those pictures that doesn’t…
