Wordless Wednesday-My babies

Hourglass

The lyrics can speak to every mom. So sweet and so true!  


Hourglass by Mindy Gledhill

Little boy, when you speak
I can't help but kiss your cheeks
I love the way you grab my hands
And tell me all about your plans

Rocket high, comets fly
You and I could take a ride
And fly away to Neverland
And give our best to Peter Pan

When you reach for the stars
Don't forget who you are
And please don't turn around and grow up way too fast
See the sand in my grasp
From the first to the last
Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Oh, life's an hourglass
Life's an hourglass

Story's read, prayer is said
Close your eyes sleepyhead
While angels linger in your dreams
And hold you in their feathered wings
Just like you, I was small
Not that long ago at all
I wish you all the happiness
That God gives freely if you ask

Wordless Wednesday-Easter 2011

Kidswearhouse.net Review And Giveaway!*CLOSED*

I came across Kidswearhouse.net while shopping for my daughter who is two, almost three years old. I, like most, am on a budget and can't afford boutique clothing. I am always looking for a great deal and I landed on their home page. Surprisingly, I found some high quality, name brand clothing at really low prices.


Kidswearhouse.net is a simply built website and conveniently categorized. At first glance, you may not think it's much but, they are very friendly people to work with, and they have awesome deals! They have baby, toddler, and child sized clothing up to size 16. They have play clothes, dresses, party dresses, holiday items, and more.


They just recently added a new line called Oatmeal & Raisin. Really adorable boys and girls baby clothing. They have a set amount for shipping no matter the size of order now, so it's really affordable to do your shopping in bulk through them. If you want it rushed, they have some affordable options as well.



My daughter received a Good Lad 3 piece scooter skirt set in a 2T. She is really becoming a girly girl and wanted to try this outfit on IMMEDIATELY. She had a great time posing for me. My daughter is petite but, is longer on her top than on the bottom. She is one of those children that usually needs separates because she is two different sizes. I asked Kidswearhouse how the fit was by email and was responded to in a timely manner about sizing. I felt confident with their answer and ordered my daughter the outfit as they said it was true to size. When I received it, I was pleasantly surprised how well this particular outfit fit. The top isn't too short, it fits just about right, the stretch pants bunch a little but fit her not too tight or loose. The skirt is probably the biggest and when she is wearing the stretch pants underneath or tights, it fits her fine. She has some room to grow. I found the outfit charming and she got lots of compliments at church! It is age appropriate and well made. The material is comfortable and stretchy.

Wordless Wednesday-Memorial Trip

My mom passed away July 19th. In order for us all to get there, my brother drove with his wife, their children, my nephew, and my daughter. Thankfully, the kids were way better than can be expected. My daughter had never even had a night away from me, and spent five days with her aunty and uncle on the road without me. She was blessed with a good attitude and was comforted by aunty and uncle while away from my husband and I. I was thankful that it went well, and I'm sure they were too!
