A Wonderful Surprise! {Too Cute Tuesday!}

I ordered this sweet little lamb with a pink flower on it when we were on our adoption journey for a little girl. When the call came I had to remove the pink flower and attach a brown ribbon as we got a wonderful sweet boy. He loves his 'baby'.  ~Jennifer


Oh, I love how the Lord works!  He is PRECIOUS!

'Tis the Season to Give! {Yay Free Friday!}

This giveaway is now closed. 
We are in full swing of the CHRISTmas season!

With to-do's lists that seem to never end and the hustle and bustle of trying to get everything done...it's easy to get swept away in the craziness!  {I'm with ya!}

 

But today I would like to slow down for just a minute to share a special ministry with you.

 

 

Hope Grafted In is a US non-profit ministry whose mission is to speak up for those that cannot speak for themselves. As we are grafted more and more into the likeness of Christ and HE grafts hope into our hearts, HGI desires to pour out His love and hope to orphans, widows, and adopting families through financial support and relational encouragement.  (*from the HGI website)

 Would you click on the link above and spend some time visiting with them today?  God is so faithful!  The CHRISTmas season is a season of giving, and maybe this is an opportunity to reach out a lot further than our own friends and family  --like across the world!

 

Through HGI you could prayerfully help a child in need through a One Time Donation, a Gift of an Animal or through a monthly Sponsorship program.  CLICK HERE to learn more!

 

Hope Grafted In also has an online store.  Proceeds help their ministry so why not make our purchases even more meaningful while getting a few people checked off that list!

Oh that Elf on the Shelf

I'm sure you all have heard about the Elf on the Shelf. 

Maybe you have an Elf causing mischief or peeking out of the curtains at you right now!  I tried it a few years ago and mid way through the kids started randomly move him around the house themselves because he would just sit for days.  I'm just not good at remembering!  It's the same way with the tooth fairy.  She shows up a few times and then my sweet children just eventually hand me the tooth directly and cash it in for money.  It's sad but true.  It's not on purpose...it's just not one of my strengths I guess.  The kids are so very sweet and understanding though.  And they know that it's all in good fun so they don't freak out. 

 

Last year we used the Elf on the Shelf for decoration {I've collected three now because I think they are cute} and tried to move the traveling Wise Men everyday.  Well you can guess how that went --FAIL!  But you know... it did take years for the wise men to find Jesus and I'm sure they had days of rest.  =)

 

This year I'm trying something new.  I placed one of our Elves on the old chalkboard above my kitchen sink.  {A place I stand multiple times a day.}  Each day Mr. Elf moves and does something different.   So far it's been a hit!   I've only forgotten a few times to move him but the kids are enjoying and try to guess what he is going to do the next day. 

 

Do you do The Elf on the Shelf or The Traveling Wise Men?



 

Oh, I love 'em!

 

It's not very often that we can still wear jackets and play outside in 60 degree weather

 

--in December!

 

 

 

 

And the little ones smile, jump and throw up leaves!

 

 

 And the big ones just humor Mom and stand in the picture because they were asked to....

Jammie Time! {Too Cute...Tuesday!}

Benjamin and Emma playing with their

 I could smoosh them both up!
They are so precious!
