Welcome to…

Happy Wednesday everyone!

What’s making me smile?

Tonight we are hosting a party for our small group, my cleaning lady was here Monday, Bents clogged the toilet with an entire roll of toilet paper AND we FINALLY have a draft of our home study IN OUR HANDS AS I TYPE!


Yep, I call that a good week.

 So let’s hear it, what are you happy about this week?

If you are interested in vlogging with us…it’s super EASY and we’d love to have you! Here are the details!

Hahahahaha! Bents is clearly wearing his “little turd” hat today!! I’m sorry I’m sitting here laughing, because if it were my clogged toilet in my house I’d be wanted to punch something too. But I’m trying to help you see the funny side in this too – so continue smiling that beautiful smile and test out a belly laugh. You need to take a picture of this for future reference when he’s 18. Haaaha! Inform his gf about how his favorite past time was running around stuffing toilet paper rolls in down the potty.

So glad you have a draft of your home study and I’m excited for you to send it out and share with all of your good news in the future! (I’m optimistic everything will work out in the end!)

You looked lovely today, and I’m super jealous of your cleaning lady! Does she mind 10 hour flights?
P.S. Sorry I wrote an ESSAY of a comment.

Loved the vlog about your toilet issues. Could totally see my son doing that and I would probably flip out. It reminded me of an article I seen on BlogHer which was hilarious and so true. This is it if you haven’t read it, I am sure you will enjoy it: http://www.blogher.com/why-moms-dont-shower?from=comments. Also, I love the shirt you have on. If it is from Target, I bought the exact one and loved it so much I went back and bought 4 more (they’re only 6 bucks this week). Hope your party goes well.

Like my blog says boys will be boys. We’ve definitely had our fair share of tp rolls in the toilet here. So glad your home study is complete! I’m sure it’s a huge weight lifted off. Have a great week and fun at your party!

I love when our cleaning lady comes too!!

The week we baptized Owen she did not come and it was such a pain having to do all that cleaning, but she did come the week we had Keith’s 33rd birthday, and it was SO nice to not have to worry about all that too.

Geez, its the little things, you know!
