Youve fallen in love with Shaun the Sheep by now, right? Well, now Timmy, that adorable baby sheep with his ever-present pacifier (reminds me of my kid), is literally stealing the show in this new Playhouse Disney show for preschoolers, Timmy Time! With slapstick humor and classic silent comedy, Timmy Time draws from Shaun the Sheeps frolicking adventures with each episode following a day in the life of Timmy and his friends where they learn lessons about friendship and trial and error to which every young child can relate. I was so thrilled when I found out that Timmy was getting his own show hes so cute! I loved the episodes in Shaun the Sheep that centered around Timmy and now we have this DVD that focuses soley on Timmy and his preschooler friends! And yes, there are several new characters now, Timmys playmates at school and his teachers. All…
Im a new mommy, and therefore feel anything but glamorous. My days are a whirlwind of feeding, rocking, burping, soothing, changing (diapers), and cleaning. Ive been wearing yoga pants and t-shirts for the entire six weeks since my son has been born, and havent felt pretty in the least for that long. If I get a shower and some basic makeup on before my husband comes home I feel like Ive really accomplished something! Even if, by then, I most likely have spit up in my hair or on me somewhere. Im telling you all of this because: 1. If you are or have been a new mom at some point, youll understand what Im talking about, and 2. I want you to see where Im coming from and why its so important to me that I have something pretty, comfortable, and practical in my closet. This is where Glamourmom…
So I get this really terrific email newsletter with free printable paper toys. Yesterday they sent me one I couldnt resist: RainbowBirds I had a feeling Emma would love it, so we set to work printing and then cutting each bird out then we strung them onto some embroidery floss since I couldnt find yarn. (Please excuse the chocolate on her face and the crazy hair) I was pleasantly surprised at her delight over making the bird fly back and forth on the string. She was shrieking with laughter and having so much fun it was great! 🙂 Made all that painstaking cutting the birds out worth it. I want to make more but our printer just ran out of color ink bummer! I like toys like this because you can throw them away after youre done with them. 😉 Another thing we do a lot is print coloring pages….
Its been awhile since Ive taken part in a blog hop and this one looks like fun! Basically you answer the weekly questions in written post or a vlog (video). Since Im definitely not in the mood for a vlog right now Im going to pass on that, but I probably should practice so Ill try it sometime in the future. When Im actually putting makeup on again. 😉 This weeks questions are: 1. Do you sew, crochet or knit? 2. Are you allergic to any foods? Bee stings? 3. Do you snore? Please describe 🙂 1. I do sew and crochet, but I dont knit. I would like to learn how, though! I started teaching myself to sew about six months ago and Ive been having so much fun. Ive made burp cloths and blankets for my little boy, throw pillows for myself, and Ive even tried my hand…
Im so tired of rain. I live in a place where it rains ALL FALL AND WINTER. I can actually count on one hand the days that the sun has made an appearance. I miss the sun so much. Ive been wishing I lived in another place, one where it actually snowed instead of rained. Two days its snowed and stuck for a little while, then melted. Theres just so little you can do in rain but in snow you can play! You can still have nice days. But oh yeah. Im trying to be positive here. So I found some inspiring photos of rain to look at and Im thinking of the positives of living in a rainy state. One of those is that the grass is soooo green all year round! Source Source Source Another thing I can invest in a good pair of stylish rain boots 😉…
Calm My Anxious Heart: A Womans Guide to Finding Contentment I was thrilled when I saw that this is free on the Kindle now! I own a paperback copy and REALLY recommend it its encouraging in so many ways! Although many Christian women say they trust God, their lives are filled with worry and anxiety-about their children, their finances, their relationships, their jobs. They know their lives should be characterized by faith in God, but theyre unsure of how to get that kind of faith. This book and twelve-week study helps women grow in contentment as they address the barriers to contentment and how to overcome them. There were so many things I wanted to remember and that made a huge impact on me as I read this book that I started keeping a journal so I would remember some of the things I needed to remember. It really helped…
