Fruit-Ka-Bobs

I recently read that kids are more likely to eat things if they are able to help prepare them. So we made fruit-Ka-Bobs for a snack. We used watermelon, strawberries and grapes but I'm sure you can use any combination of fruit.

Not only was it getting them involved they thought of it as a fun activity too. My oldest daughter even realized that she was able to make different patterns.

My little Lily liked the grapes the most. I think she ate more than we're put on the Ka-Bob.

The end result! :)

Swimming Lessons

It's amazing that my little girl is big enough for swimming lessons! They had a lot of fun though!

Getting ready to jump in the pool.

Going into the pool with the steps.

Thinking about going off the diving board.

Firmer Breasts

I saw this on the Ellen Show yesterday and it cracks me up! They claim by mixing Egg whites, Vitamin E, Plain Yogurt and Honey into a paste and then massaging it onto your pectoral muscles then letting it set for 20 min. You'll have firmer breasts. Too funny!

Fun Follow Friday

Hosted by Simply Stacie and My Wee View. Take a look at there blogs for all of the details.

What is a Godparent?

A Godparent is to be a practicing Christian who will assist the parents in bringing up the child in faith!

Wow!! What a HUGE honor and responsibility. My husband and I we're recently asked to be Godparents. I was so touched. I mean out of lots of loving friends and family members they thought enough of us to ask. After our conversation I got to thinking to myself, "what does a Godparent do?" and "How can a fulfill my duties as a Godparent?"

Be a good, respectable, and loving figure in the child's life.
Pray for your Godchild regularly.
Set an example of Christian living.
Help your Godchild grow in his faith as a Christian.
Give encouragement, love and be in the Godchild's life.

Those are things I CAN do after I thought about it! We now can say that we have three little girls of our own and that God has alowed us to be Godparents to a Son.

Top 5 Things working from Home has done for me:

I've been working from home for the past three and half years. I thought it would be fun to see how our Family has been blessed through the last few years.

#1: I'm home with my Family everyday! That in itself is such peace of mind and is truly the reason I wanted to work from home.

#2: I have $$ in my wallet at all times now, WOOHOO!

#3: My Car. It's a Mommy car for sure but it gets 33 miles to the gallon, Our family rides comfortably, it's Reliable, and it's Ours.

#4: My new couch. To some this might seem strange but we recently bought our new couch, may I say with cash. It replaced our warn out couch that had been torn up, thrown up on, peed on, colored on, spilt on and all of the other fun Kid things.

#5: Our Credit Card debt is gone. At one point in our lives this was such a struggle and it's such a blessing to know that we don't have that overwhelming feeling anymore.
