Giveaway!

It's no secret that I've been away from blogging...seriously, happy halloween was my last post. Since then, Sophie's turned 1, started walking, started talking and had her first X-rays yesterday on a sprained ankle. She's busy and I don't really get 'round to blogging. However, on our anniversary we were trying to remember what we'd done for the last 5 years and I thought to myself that I would know if I'd blogged about it. I'm going to be better about blogging seeing as how my memory is probably not going to get any better in the future.

So for that giveaway...

A couple of months ago, I was asked if one of my Works For Me Wednesday posts about Seed Tape could be featured in an E-book of collected Works For Me Wednesday posts. I was thrilled to hear about this project because I have a million bookmarked links from this blog carnival and I always have a hard time finding that one recipe or craft tutorial that I remember reading way back when. (These were book marked before the wonderful world of Pinterest.)

I just got the book myself and I think it will be very helpful to have lots of advice in an easily searchable PDF or Kindle file. This e-book offers a categorized, organized place for more than 800 practical, “aha!” tips to make your life run smoother.

A portion of all of the proceeds goes to benefit Mercy House which is a maternity home that exists to provide alternative options for pregnant girls living in the streets of Kenya. The Mercy House will aid them in nutrition, housing, prenatal care, Bible study, counseling, and job skills for sustainable living.

I have a copy of the That Works For Me E-book to give away. If you want to win, leave a comment telling me your favorite color. I will choose one winner on Monday, April 16th after 12 pm (nap time).

If you just can't wait and want to buy the book you can do so at: That Works For Me!

The book is $8 but you can save $1 with the coupon code: SAVE1

So go ahead...tell me your favorite color for a chance to win!

Happy Halloween from Sophie Bug!

Sky Top Orchard

Hmm, two months since I last blogged. I can't seem to stay on the blogging wagon. Life's fun these days, well except for the whole Sophie's had an ear infection for like a month and half part. However, I think she's on the mend.

She's learning to walk! Seriously, pause button please?!?

We went to Sky Top Orchard this morning for our family pictures. It was so odd being in front of the camera. It might be my favorite fall outing in our area.

I only took a few pictures but should have some of all three of us together soon!

 


"Mom, this doesn't taste like those green balls you let me gnaw on earlier."

"If I look at your camera again will you give me one of those yummy donuts?"

I highly suggest you get in your car and drive to Sky Top today, even if it's just for the apple cider donuts...they're delicious!

8 months...

Where did 8 months go? We're closer to one than none!

Y'all, my girl is crawling, sitting up, and talking! Can I just push the pause button for a minute? Give her some serum that keeps her little and cuddly forever?

She says ball, mama, dada, papa, bye, hi...I don't know if she fully understands what they all mean but she's got them down. She loves to crawl away from you and look back all coy like and wave and say bye bye and then keep crawling.

She loves when Steven gets home from work and if he doesn't pick her up right away she pitches a fit. She even looks towards the door in the late afternoon and waits on him it seems. On the days when he comes home late she seems confused.

Today after we all woke up from our Sunday nap she looked at Steven and touched his side and then crawled on top of him and tried to nurse. Seriously??! She's too funny.

I love being her mommy.

Sophie at 6 months

My sweet girl is 6 months old now! She's so fun these days. She rolls all over the place and is really trying to figure out how to sit up. She's eating rice cereal and oatmeal and tried green beans today. They were not her favorite to say the least. She jabbers all the time, especially in the car and in bed when she thinks no one is around. She has the cutest laugh and smile. We just love her! Happy 1/2 year birthday Sophie!
