Baby find.


Loving this cute little mobile from The Land of Nod. What relevance, you may ask, does this have? Well, all...we're having a baby. Some of you may know this, others may not. But it is true. I am 15 weeks and 2 days along today. Woah. It's been quite a crazy ride these past few months. We found out only weeks before I was to start PA school, so it was quite a surprise. I was able to defer school a year, and we're so thankful for that. The process itself was hard emotionally, but really smooth logistically. Although this wasn't in our plan, I'm confident it's in the Lord's plan. And He's never let me down. I know there will continue to be ups and downs through the coming months, but I've been clinging to this scripture for truth:

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
(Isaiah 55:8-9)

Looking back on the past years, I can't imagine things having gone any other way, and so much of it was not my exact plan. I never knew I would return home to Carbondale, let alone meet my husband here. I never thought I would go back to school, let alone make it into PA school. But it's all been wonderful. So, knowing this and God's nature, I can be excited for things to come. Because it's a pretty exciting thing. Come January, we'll be happy to welcome a new little member to our family. :)

YAY!   Another Chewbeads Necklace Giveaway – the Turquoise Hudson !   Giveaway will close on Monday, 6/11 at 10pm – winner will be announced by Wednesday evening. So, this go around, the necklace is a gift from me as a thank you for reading or visiting this tiny little blog.  Also, because it’s really fun to give stuff away.   So, I’ll be giving away one specific necklace, the Turquoise Hudson , since it seemed to be the overall favorite last time!   Chewbeads have actually even improved since the last giveaway - they're now lighter weight and don't snag on long hair! You all know I’m a little obsessed with them , and I still wear them, even with E at 16 months.   Actually, she was just chewing on them the other day (same day as the pic above– I swear she chews on them, I just never catch it).   And – she cries for the Charles bangles when I wear them.   She’s convinced they are hers, I assume.   So...Who c...

Land of Nod Giveaway!!! (CLOSED)

Giveaway is CLOSED. Giveaway, it's a giveaway!!! $50 Land of Nod Gift Card! I'm obsessed with The Land of Nod .  I'm sure this is no surprise.  As you know, a whole lot of Eloise's room came from there.  And we continue to loooove, love, love their products.  SO, just recently, they came out with some amazing and adorable new products .  I can't get over how cute the new beddings are...these would have seriously been in the running for EA had they existed then.  And the blue Jenny Lind bed is the perfect shade of aqua, all funky and polished at the same time.  In love.  And, if you happen to like poufs, too, a faux leather (and somewhat cheaper) version of one for kids (or adults).  Oh, yes, and the rugs...seriously amazing...  I need to stop.   Anyways, these sweet people at the Land of Nod have offered to give one lucky reader a 50 dollar gift card .  Yep, that's right.  I'm pretty stinking excited.  I ...
