Flashback Wednesday

Isn't he precious! Today Champers is 9 months old. Here he is at three days. Ohh. Time passes so quickly.

What do you do?

Being a SAHM has its advantages.

I can take a nap. That right there is enough to sell me!

I actually get ironing done twice a month. (That might not sound like much but it beats the NEVER when I was working!!)

I am my own boss. Unless you throw the kids in the picture. Then they are the boss.

I get to daydream just about all day long. And, move over Stephanie Meyer, I have some AWESOME stories to tell! Now, if only I could write.....

Grrrrr

So, I turned on my camera today to see what I haven't posted about. This is what I found:

Hmmmmmm. I don't believe I took these.

Finally!

Yes, ladies and fine gents, the results are in. Megan is having a boy!!! Logan Banner is expected to arrive a week early, as well. Look for pictures of the little fellow in mid September!

Pay it Forward Friday

I'm finally posting my Pay It Forward on a Friday! Imagine that!

I am still in the process of collecting Spanish books to send to the Dominican Republic to help establish a library system there. Please remember to search your library! To learn more click here.

But, I also firmly believe that some of the greatest service we can give is the most simple! So, today my forward act is not grand or spectacular.

I have recently mentioned that I know some neat people. I have been very blessed to have you all in my life, thanks for being there! Sarah is one such person. We were next door neighbors at the townhomes. She was often a lifesaver. I could drop off my kids and run to the store or borrow some flour or go over to scream at the insanity of my life. We have both moved, but our friendship has stayed.

Well, she is INCREDIBLY talented. I love her work! And she is putting it to work!!!!! She makes masterpieces out of paper. Well, her hubby has talked her into selling her cards and I couldn't be happier. No more Hallmark for me, thank you very much! Well, most of us know how difficult it is to get the word out there that you are selling some amazing things, so here is my pay it forward! Stop by her site and if you are impressed, you can pay it forward by forwarding on the love!

What to say?

I am a bit tired. And I don't have much to say.
I will say this...Dan and I just finished priming our basement!
Yay!
We will probably buy paint tomorrow. Wish me luck, I have NO idea what I want.

Our landscaper finally called yesterday.

I just might have a finished house soon!!!!

Pay It Forward

If you scroll down on my sidebar, you will notice a widget for helping Kenyan women. I am excited about this project for a couple of reasons:

1. Basa Body is helping women in Kenya use their knowledge to create jobs. Fantastic! I tire of Western orgs going in and mandating how other cultures should live. This is different. While in Kenya, the founders recognized skills that had been used for centuries and merely helped them develop into a company!

2. This is an organization that is small. This translates into little or no overhead cost. The profit is going to where it says!

3. If you are interested in learning more about this organization, click here: http://www.basabody.com/

4. This widget is brought to you by Mom It Forward, a service organization of moms!

If you have a few extra bucks laying around and feel like helping some sisters across the world out, donate by May 12. That's coming up soon!
