Story is walking more. It is so special to see her turn into a vertical participant in the ongoings of the home.
When Wilder turned three and got the faux hawk, out came an ornery streak. I am praying the Lord gives me wisdom to continue in consistency of discipline. I cracked open Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp and it's given practical insight.
Thank you for your participation in More for you Mondays. Haven't they been fun? It is something I feel blessed to provide in a sea of expensive ad space. If you'd like to be featured, send me an email.
My heart friend, Julie, is adopting from China! Read their story here. It seems everyone is adopting. It is wonderful. If you are having a hard time choosing who to donate to with your hard-earned money, I recommend praying for giving toward the Johnson's adoption. Their heart is for a disabled child. What a mighty calling they are obeying.
BlogSugar is weeks away and I have not finished the swag bag goodies yet. I stayed up til 1am working on them...friends have come over to help. It is indeed a community effort and I am so grateful for all the help I received. I will be able to "breathe" and get back to making headbands once the goodies are complete.
Headbands--would you like to see some go on sale? I need to make more sales for BlogSugar trip.

Sorry you're having a tough time with the kiddo. We call it the 'trying threes' in our house, which, frankly I think are harder than the 'terrible twos.'
I will email you about donating an item for your raffle.
Your kids are adorable :)
at blog sugar Im gonna give you a big hug!!!!!
xoxo
have you read "don't make me count to 3"? it's my FAVE.
i'm also going to give you a hug and i will try and beat april.
The party looks like a great success! I wish I could be as good as you about taking pictures!
Looks like a great birthday party. LOVE the cake!
It's also nice to know that I'm not the only one who thinks 2 is looking like a breeze compared with our upcoming year of being 3. We're having some difficult days here too.
I agree with Cat that threes are harder than twos... praying for wisdom, strength, and patience to get you through. Love the cake, good work!
1. What a fun party for Wilder! 2. You are such a sweet friend to Julie, and definitely count me in for the raffle with Scentsy stuff! :)
3. Good luck with your BlogSugar endeavors!
Your kids are so lucky to have a mom that makes their life events so special.
My mom always said that it wasn't terrible two's it was terrible three's. Good luck. I know you are up for the challenge! :)
What's going into the goodie bags, are we going to get a sneak preview?
LOVE that guitar cake! I, too, think that three is harder than two - so hang in there! If you need anymore help getting your goodies ready for BlogSugar, please ask me. I'd love to help.
Fun party - good job! I hope Wilder felt very special! I'm willing to help with your goodie bags if you need it : )
Last night I spent a good hour or so reading your blog. All the way back to posts from the end of June. My computer is fixed, so now I can catch up with my fav blogs. Yours was the first I came too.
Happy Birthday Wildman! BTW what does ornery mean? Looks like a fun birthday. xxx
Just downloaded that book to my phone. Leah has reached what I am loving referring to as the "Ferocious Fours". I am to the desperate point and was so excited to see that you had a good recommendation for some helpful advice. Had so much fun at W's party, thank you for inviting us! :)
i know that you are well aware, but your kids take 'cute' to a whole new level.
i totally forgot about shepherding a childs heart, i think i need to put that one on rush order, we've got a feisty one here.
darling party!!!!
I want to donate something for the raffle..just have to figure out what!
So sad we missed the party, but glad to see you celebrated well. HUGS.
