Mary AND Martha challenge.

I have taken on a challenge. I have committed to do the Mary/Martha challenge for the next 31 days. If you want to join me...check out:

Day 1
Why I clean Mission Statement:
It might not make sense (to you) but the following reasons/statements are why I clean.
Organized. Purposeful.
Steward of Blessings.
Calm.
Tidy. Healthy. Safe
Sanctuary.
Mercies New Everyday.

Day 2: Clean out freezer and refrigerator. Wow. It feels great to purge! I love an organized fridge! I wonder what tomorrows challenge will bring?


I had a little bit of "help" at the grocery store today.
Wow. Today I was that mom with the big giant car-buggy. Sigh.

And a little snack. Nothing like bringing back some memories from childhood. My friend Kelly's mom used to make these oyster cracker snacks all the time. Yum! (not bad for an iphone picture, huh?)

Cheerios on the Floor.

Last year,

one year ago,

we brought our boys home.

Our home has changed a lot since then. We have a lot of fisher price, plastic, brightly colored toys. We don't light candles on our coffee table anymore. In fact, the house doesn't always "smell" as nice as it used to. We have sippy cups in our sink, bottles in the fridge (although less then we used to!), and cheerios on the floor.

We also have lots of laughter and smiles.
Storytime that warms the heart.
Bathtime with giggles.

Cute front teeth.
Dimples.

Today, we added "two toddler/big boy car seats" to the list.

We have two infant carriers...packed up in the garage.

Wow! That was fast.

Cam and Daddy play some games together.

We had a great weekend with our cousins! We fed the fish at the boardwalk.
...went on a boatride.


...and hung out with mommy!
