Author Archives: admin UPDATE: A quick update because I originally shared this post 9 years ago;)—I *just* got this SWEET book in the mail that was just published in 2015 called “Our Family’s Jesse Tree”. You can purchase it on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Our-Familys-Jesse-Tree-Activities/dp/1535461470 It’s a GREAT price and it comes with templates for all 25 ornaments, an opening activity, scripture […]  Philippians 4 is my song today, and this chapter has always been a personal favorite of my heart. This morning as I put my baby Frank down for a nap, this chapter came to my mind and I had to run to my room and be fed by the truth of where we find our […] too cute…love it, kj LOVE the thankful tree!!! […] painted our tree on kraft paper so it could be displayed and then thrown away later. You can see it here. I bought a little die cut last here at Hobby Lobby that is shaped like little leaves. Each day my […] HA HA!!! Man…I got a new phone and I can barely figure out how to dial the dumb thing…let alone text with it 🙂 Have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!! Let's touch base next week when we get some new numbers 🙂 Jenn That is so cute!! I am glad I don't text at all! 🙂 hilarious…I still can't text yet…I'm way too slow 🙂 kj This is hilarious! I saw someone doing that the other day, driving 10 miles an hour, and it drove me nuts! 🙂 LOVE IT!!!  I went ahead and did the inevitable…and bought a crib for our little one since Mr.Frank has at least another year and a half or two in his (he just turned 1 two weeks ago)! Finding one that would work was a bit tricky because I needed the crib to be under 40 inches in height for […] That is a GREAT crib. Love it! and paint color is totally important–I am right there with you 🙂 I remember how excited I was the day we got our crib for Isaiah =) How fun! And thanks for sharing about the colors…I'm a first time mom so I was excited to see that my color choice, light blue, was in the calm category. You'll have to share a picture when you've got his cozy room ready! I've been thinking a lot about painting my son's room a light blue. When I was pregnant with him we were remodeling THE ENTIRE HOUSE and I was so sick of painting at that point. We painted it beige before we knew he was a boy. But, I think I'm ready for a change now! You're right about setting the mood though! =) Our master bedroom is a pale mint green and the curtains and bedding are all white … it's so light and airy! I never have any trouble falling asleep and relaxing with a book – now I know why!! We're planning on doing our nursery with simple solids too (though I love pattern too) … and I think we want to continue the muted, pale green Thanks for all the color info! 🙂 You have such great insight on decor. 🙂 By the way, your last comment to me meant so much…I love how you "get it" and know exactly the emotions I feel. Thanks for validating my thoughts! 🙂 Any more updates for ya'll? uh…so you're saying my mod polka dots might be a bit too much huh?? ha! oh well…I am a pattern kind of gal. nothing in my house is serene and quiet! although Frank's nursery is beautiful!! And I LOVE the new crib! I think it is a good mix of modern and classic with the dark wood!! Jenn I love Frank's room. It's so precious. The new crib is beautiful. This makes me feel more confident about choosing lilac and sage for our LO's nursery! Hopefully those colors will balance out the black and white damask, stripes, and polka dots . . . . 🙂 Getting geared up to stop by photography business and be 100% mommy ALL THE TIME has my creative juices flowing…and I’ve been thinking about pouring into my babies more and more at home. Granted I was just photographying families 2 days a week—but if you are a photographer, you know what goes in behind the […] |

That sounds so neat. Will have to look into it.
Thanks for the links! I have friends who have made them, but I haven't gotten around to doing it. Buying it all made up sounds much better!
