Throwback Tuesday: Sweet and Simple Baby

Now that my kids are 2 & 3, they are becoming much more active and independent!  While I love the new-found freedoms I have (I can wash dishes while they pretend to do the same in their play kitchen!) I am realllllly missing the baby snuggles.  Like, bad.  Eek!  I better not have Baby Fever, I think my husband would kill me!

BUT, I can love on other babies, so maybe that'll help with my need for baby snuggles!  A friend of mine just announced she will become a grandma soon and so I had to give her a congratulatory gift and a sweet homemade card!  Since we didn't know the baby's gender yet, I went with a tried and true favorite color---Peekaboo Peach!  It's such a perfect baby color and works for either a girl or a boy!


The best part is I was able to use up a little bit of retired product for this lovely card and also get a chance to play with an old retired bundle that is simply fantastic for making all sorts of cards in a snap!  It's the Label Love Bundle (includes the Label Love Stamp Set & Artisan Label Punch) and I just adore the fantastic variety of sentiments this set has to offer!

I partnered my retired goodies with this year's Occasions Catalog Embossing Folder---the Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  It provides just the right amount of texture for a simple, clean baby card that almost made my friend cry!  (Mission Accomplished!)

So if you have this bundle, or even if you don't, I hope today's Throwback Tuesday post inspires you to try making a simple, clean card using some simple supplies!

Top 10 Tuesday: 12 Days of Christmas Movies

Well, so instead of a Top 10, I'm changing it to a Top 12!  Because I love The Twelve Days of Christmas and I love Christmas movies and why not combine both together to make it 12 Days of Christmas Movies!?  I suppose we each all have our own opinions as to what Christmas Movies are *must-haves* on our Watch List, but I would like to think there are some that just generally required, by public agreement.  So, here's my Top 12 Days of Christmas Movies List, complete with a FREE Printable so you can make this a Holiday Bucket List Item, if you'd like!  I'd love to hear if your favorite movie made the cut or not! OH---and one more thing---these movies are certainly not listed in an specific order, they are more in the order in which I may or may not have already watched them... (#SorryNotSorry!) 12.  The Santa Clause (1994) When this movie first came out, I was totally entranced by the interpretation of the North Pole, courtesy of Disney Magic, that I almost bel

Podcast Episode 4: Accountability

How many of you feel like you're on a never-ending hamster wheel, just running and running and running?  Do you blame the wheel for moving too fast or too slow?  Do you blame the cage for not having any space?  Or do you figure out that you need to stop, get off the wheel and get out of the cage to endless space? I think we all have those seasons in our lives where we easily blame the wheel or the cage.  And the difference between staying on the wheel and blaming it for staying on it and stopping, getting off and getting OUT is our ability to take accountability. Take a listen to this week's podcast and let me know if it inspires you to stop running on the wheel and instead, figure out how to stop, get off the wheel, and get out of the cage.

Lent 2020: Day Two

Today's post is brought to you by...COFFEE.  I'm not going to lie, I really did consider giving up coffee for Lent, but when I mentioned it to one of my best friends, his response was "well, I'll see you in 40 days!"  I was kind of shocked at his lack of support, but then I read a post that was shared with me regarding Lent and some "food for thought" and one of the bullet points read "Don't give up coffee. Jesus will forgive you, but your family might not."  Well---I heard God loud and clear on that one.  Don't give up coffee.  And I'm so very glad I did not. See today, I had a TON of things to accomplish.  We're gearing up for a big weekend and I had quite the laundry list to do.  Not only was my laundry list (and my laundry basket) huge, but I didn't sleep well last night.  I had a very restless husband, so I put myself out on the couch.  Which wasn't terrible, but it wasn't exactly great, either.  So I already
