Love Giveaways?

Anne Bradshaw, author of the blog Not Entirely British is giving away two books by Sarah Hinze, We Lived in Heaven and Songs of the Morning Stars. The books are about our divine origin and pre-birth expereinces, they sound really interesting! If I don't win, I'm definitely going to be checking them out at the library. Check out the books and how to enter here.

Also, my friend Megan just started a blog that directs you to all the fun giveaways. Check her out here.

Another blog that often does giveaways is called Seriously So Blessed and it is one of the funniest blogs I have read! I just discovered it today and had to go back and read from the beginning. If you don't mind a blog that pokes fun at Mormon culture and mommy blogs (such as my own) check it out, you will be entertained for hours!

15 weeks

I can't believe this cute girl is only 15 weeks old! I feel like she's been with us forever. As you can tell from the pictures, she's developing a little personality. She loves to play with her daddy. When he comes home for the day her whole body starts to jerk and move with excitement when she hears his voice. She is sleeping 8 hours most nights which is a major blessing that I attribute to "Baby Wise" and a Heavenly Father who knows I can't function well on little sleep:)

This is why I don't bake

These are supposed to be heart shaped sugar cookies. Enough said

My Recent Project

I'm not a crafty person but I loved the painted letters I saw in boutiques and I was not willing to pay $20 a letter. So I spent a day painting these and actually really enjoyed it. The lines aren't exactly straight but Kenzie doesn't care right? I plan on hanging them from ribbon but seem to forget to pick it up everytime I go to the store.

The honesty of children

One thing I love about little kids is their brutal honesty. For example, every time I have a zit or a freckle out of place, my little niece Kate will inform me :) What I didn't realize until today is that little kids don't need to be able to speak to express how they really feel about you. This morning Mackenzie was playing on the ground and I decided to lie down and join her. As soon as I started to talk to her, she babbled a little and started closing her eyes. The next thing I know, she's asleep. I like to think I have a soothing effect on people but I think my little Mackenzie was faking it to get me to go away. In fact I see the little sneak of a smile on her face right now as she slowly opens her eyes to see if the coast is clear...

I woke up this morning to my baby's beautiful smile and a snoring husband. Life is beautiful.
