The Christian Crew

turned me to a song i performed about 9 years ago. It Struck a cord with my heart today. Enjoy!

So, I must admit, I'm a bit of a domestic Diva , when i really want to be! Maybe I LOVE to craft and I'd rather do that then have a spotless house. B/C really- if you have a perfect house that normally means you either have a house cleaner and no kids or you are totally bored or boring! I'm not a slob- just a creative type person. Take today- i cleaned the girls room, one bathroom, the playroom and made Eggplant Parm for dinner from scratch and i also sewed up a storm:) Mind you- these are taken with my phone so- they are NOT perfect pics! i still need center buttons for the shirts. I will be making dresses here pretty shortly! I love baby sleep sacks. everyone needs something special to take baby home in. These ones will be available to purchase at my etsy store in a while! And I'm covering the white ric rac print with HOt PInK ruFleS!!! I LOVE to sew and i feel like I'm doing more of it now that my machines are out of my craft room and on the dining room table;) ...

As part of our family legacy, we want our children to be surrounded by people with integrity and moral values. hence the reason we go to church and participate in tons of the church functions! Our children NEED a moral compass and We are doing are best to see that they are raised to Love One Another and Christ Loves Them. No better place to teach them than in the home and then reinforced at church! Parents Set the Tone of a Child's LIFE forever! We are so grateful for our callings and for our membership in the LDS church. We love that we have great friends and live right by the Denver Temple (same City Block)! It's one of our favorite temples! We especially LOVE SUNDAYS because we get to relax, learn lessons at church and enjoy our family and friends. Today we had a bunch of friends dine with us over at our Other friends house and we had a blast! ( I avoid using my friends names until i have permission from them:) I made a strawberry creme pie and some brownies for desert and...

...will have to be reported tomorrow:( I'm totally burned out from going to the Water Park with the girls! Pictures will come soon and Many More Good things! I have decided to help other couples get some exposure on my blog as well. So 2 times a month i will feature another hopeful family or couple! It just love helping others in this regard. When NEW couples get into the adoption Arena- some have a sense that's it's a competition when it's totally NOT. Of course everyone desires to be chosen but, It's not anything that you can do to make yourself look better to a birthmom than another couple can. you have NO idea what she may be looking for in a family! And God has His hands in this - so, Leave it to the PRO! And other good news... I will be doing an Auction On FB in a bit to closeout all my CC Baby Inc. products. More on that later. Have wonderful Sunday friends and readers!

In a world where we meet people in everything we do, i must count my blessings b/c i KNOW so many WONDERFUL people and have had the pleasure of being a friend to many! Though not all of us keep in regular contact after moving or life changes, we still know we can pick up the phone and know that our friends are right with us in spirit! And we are enjoying the new friends we have made in CO! I Love all of the friends we have met in the adoption world as well! Friends are family you choose for yourself. -- Author Unknown I am so glad to have such fabulous friends!!! I love you all! our life: doing well with the girls t-minus 10 days till preschool starts and we are headed to the Water Park tomorrow:)

Man, i feel like a bit of a basketcase somedays! The whole adoption process and waiting is sometimes overwhelming! I decided today- to FOCUS more on Where God is leading us to and not necessarily where I WANT TO GO! I mean that we are trying to LISTEN to the Holy Spirit more and where it's leading Our Family. I am so grateful for inspiration and peace that comes from doing what is right in our hearts. Lately, I've just struggled with the whole "waiting for someone to pick us" thing! I've come to the conclusion that : It will happen when it's RIGHT and meant to BE and that even though we put our whole hearts out there to be openly criticized by prospective birth parents- I"M OKAY with being picked apart. Someone may not like my dark curly hair. Someone may not like that Brandon is a mortgage lender and Real Estate Agent! They may judge us as un-cool b/c we have 2 kids and we are not "NEEDY enough". They may think we are total nerds or hate that ...

I don't do this much but... Tonight, when i was biking home after a long evening with friends, I looked up at the beautiful moon in the night sky and was grateful it was there for me . I was also thinking about the myth or legend that you get pregnant when there's a full moon or you go into labor on a full moon! It's something to do with how woman's bodies are in harmony with the cycles of nature- yada yada yada (you get my drift). That thought lead to the thought of all the Ladies in the world who get pregnant with no intention of b eing a good mother to their babies. I thought of that b/c i have distant a relative who gets pregnant and has babies just to have the Gov't Handouts that come to poor, unfortunate people who have children!!! I am so upset at this group of humans in this world. I'm disgusted that you use your children as meal tickets. You procreate for CASH- which makes you a WHORE to the Gov't system. Seriously- this may seem harsh and I'm...
