What's the daily for today?

Did you check out the featured blog from yesterday? Joys of Home...

Another day another feature!

Today's feature, is a blog I read daily, and yes I mean daily! Her story is one that should be heard world wide! There is no feature craft or how to make your home cuter through mod podge.




You will read about love, inspiration, family, faith, and healing! You will hear a story that will make you cry, of a women and a family that through one of life's worst tragedy's imaginable, survived and are living life to the fullest everyday!

Maybe you've heard of this blog or even her, Stephanie Neilson, a plane crash survivor, tells about her life since her crash. I find strength through her words, I find myself loving life just a little bit more, knowing that I can still do the daily things that she once did with such ease.

I hold onto my family a little tighter every night since reading her blog. I don't complain about having to get up at 6am because it's a tad bit early, at least I can!

I could go on and on all day about the great joys of reading this blog, but I will let you find out on your own, so hop on over to nienie's and read about her story!

And as always let her know you came from me!

Buying new clothes...

Usually you get super excited when you get to go shopping for new clothes and even more excited when you are buying for yourself, right?

I was extra happy to go shopping for jeans this winter, after losing 76lbs I just knew it was going to be SO much easier this year, WRONG!!!!!!!

I sat in the dressing room more upset, frustrated and mad this year than any other year in the past. I cried, I yelled, and I screamed! Clayton and the lady at the store were so nice and helpful! Clayton held me while I cried, he let me scream in his chest, and told me that he still Loved me!

Madison, on the other hand, decided she needed to take pictures of mommy in the dressing room trying pants on! Grandon, oh my oh so sweet Grandon, he just says, mom, they are what they are let's go already!

I guess I'm just going to have to get used to the fact that till I'm done losing weight buying new clothes just won't be as much fun as I keep telling myself it will be!

In the mean time enjoy the wonderful pictures my daughter took, I think she might be a photographer when she grows up, because she ALWAYS wants the camera to take pictures!

Oh, and we did end up buying these jeans!
(What do you think???)

FHE Binder,,,

I got this super cute idea to do a Family Home Evening Binder! My inspiration came from one of my favorite Etsy shops, JustBeccuz.

She has FHE lessons for a whole year that you can purchase from her! I LOVED her idea so much that I created one for our family!

Check out her idea at her Etsy shop!

Sorry for the poor quality in my pictures, I couldn't get my lighting right and it was dark outside!

I LOVE fashion, and I LOVE different not main stream fashion, add some recycled fashion and you've got my attention! Well that's what the owner of Poor Pitiful Pearl (PPP) has done!

She has turned clothes into art that you can wear! She offers unique and handmade clothing items! If you haven't heard of her, she is a MUST to check out, she has an Etsy shop that you can buy her clothing line from.

On her blog she does an interesting person of the week, where she interviews other shop owners and sometimes there are some giveaways! I blogged about one that she is hosting for Pretty In Pink Vintage, make sure to check out my post on that!

So go check out PPP's blog and let her know I sent you on over!

Piano Lessons

Grandon and Madison have both started piano lessons, with their Oma Schlueter! She is a WONDERFUL teacher, and the kids seem to really love playing! I love watching them and listening to them play.

They get a quarter and a cookie after each lesson, and then we get to sit down and have a yummy lunch with Oma and Papa Schlueter!

Not to mention they just LOVE going and getting to see Oma and Papa!

I'm so glad that we get this opportunity to learn to play the piano, I've even learned a few things myself!
