A another proud moment for mommy!

Our beautiful Sydney "our Sydray" made her public confession of service as a believer in Christ through baptism this last Sunday. It brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. As she stood in an inflatable pool, with ice cold water, as the cool wind blew and the rain drizzled down. I know that this will be a moment that she will always remember. As will we her family and friends that love her. Just as the found memories of her birth, dedication, 1st birthday, and so on.
Although there are days as a mom we cling to this "This too shall pass", some things pass too quickly for a mom. Those moments the bring a tear to your eye and joy to your heart.

Wow, where do I start!!

This so exciting!! A special THANKS to my good friend ShaRhonda Crow for helping me with my blog!!! And really WOW, where do I start? Like ShaRhonda I have been writing seen I was very young but, believe me it's really been a long time. I can do all things through Christ. Phililpians 4:13 So, here goes! I guess I want to share all the God has done for me and my family. And I believe that we are on a journey marked by all of the differant seasons in our lives. There are a few things that you should know about me, things that I tell my beautiful daughters often. I don't expect perfection but, I do expect a good effort and a good atitude. We all make mistakes so be quick to have a forgiving heart. Always be Prepared, Plan, and Pray and your days will go alot smoother. Be resourceful, learn all that you can and enjoy it. The more you know, the more questions that you ask better choices that you can make. And be organized, neat, and clean! Be a good friend! Do for other

This is the Season... This is the season for learning, growing, and maturing for me. And I feel so blessed and excited! God is really doing so much in our lives right now. And especially in me. It's a humbling experience when you let your father mold you, have a teachable spirit and receive not only God's grace but also his correction. Steve and I (and the girls) have started a new church, a few months ago. Started Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University and will next week start the Love and Logic Parenting class. So, I keep you posted on how it all goes!

Idea Corner.... Rountine charts

Image
Routine charts are great help for kids and parents. Well I put a little different spin on them. We took construction paper and using medium size letter stickers we did the child's name and bedtime or morning. e.i. Sydney's Bedtime. Then we listed things that needed to be done like brush teeth and glued clipart next to it. Continued with the list. Then I laminated them leaving a little extra room at the bottom (I used two pieces of laminate paper so I would have the extra room). Then we used little wooden stars that we let the girls paint and velcro dots from the fabric dept. We put one side of the Velcro next to the clipart and the other on the back of the stars. Then I put another row of velcro at the bottom to hold the stars when they weren't next to task and the task was complete. The girls love them, the velcro makes a sound. There are no stickers or markers to keep up with. And they learn to take responsibility for themselves without me nagging a thousand times to get
