This Thanksgiving…may Philippians 4 be the song in our hearts

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 […]

This is hilarious! I saw someone doing that the other day, driving 10 miles an hour, and it drove me nuts! 🙂

LOVE IT!!!

Momma bought your crib today!

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 […]

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?

Jenn - November 24, 2009 - 2:54 pm

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!!

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 . . . . 🙂

Lord, make me a holy vessel…

I woke up this morning in humble praise for families who have burdened, led and excited to be a part of our adoption. Today–I particularly could not stop thinking about 3 friends that every time I think of them from now on until I’m 90, I will be filled with a sense of gratitude and […]

Are These Kids All Yours? - November 22, 2009 - 1:33 pm

Praise God for using others to help! We never asked for our last adoption…and missed out…this time around….it has been such a blessing to receive gifts because people want to be a blessing. Thank God for beautifully orchestrating the body of Christ! 🙂

Kristi J - November 22, 2009 - 1:38 pm

beautiful post…I know exactly how you feel…I can't help but feel so much love and gratitude towards those that helped us get to our daughter…so well said..You are a great writer 🙂 kj
