beans

The long summer days seem to have gotten to me. We've been so wrapped up in looking for a house (and it's been SUPER frustrating) that I haven't blogged all summer! Well, I'm hoping to take my mind off the housing market, and do some relaxing with these last couple of weeks!

Our church is having VBS (Vacation Bible School) next week, and I signed up to make bean bags for one of the games. Just look what an awesome idea I found for them while browsing through Ohdeedoh.

I am SO making these this afternoon (if Ashlyn ever gets to sleep). They're perfect for teaching letters, or just to look pretty! Even the little ones can participate in filling the bags. Tutorial here at yet another amazing blog, Little Blue Boo.

nest

Are you my new home? I sure hope so!

Could this cute little one be our next nest? It sure needs a lot of TLC, but I'm pretty much in love with it. Please forgive my recent absence. We're trying to find a house, ASAP, and it's taking up most of my internet time! I promise I'll be back soon.

something else to add to the creepy file

going green

I'm not really into global warming (I can hear the collective *gasp*). I'm not sure I can trust Al Gore quite that far. But I am into making little changes that go a long way. Here's one of them. How many zillions of little snack baggies do I throw away every day? The number will only go up exponentially when Emma starts preschool next year. These reusable snack bags & sandwich wraps are a terrific replacement... with a little added style!to purchase click here
