Fancy Nancy Tea Party Birthday

Hannah turned 8 and had brought home a Fancy Nancy Tea Party book and asked if we could that for her party.  What a fun and simple idea.  Even better she made most of the decorations!

Word of the Year: Content Vol 12

Content

adjective  simple definition:  pleased and satisfied, not needing more


I am 'content' being a work at home mom BUT it is not alway the easiest job.  
Today I will 'endure' continue; be durable.

Currently 4/25

The last few months I have been doing a "Currently" post.  It is fun for me to think about my week. To open up, and show bits and pieces of my daily thoughts, and life.  I'm linking up with Becky from Choose Happy.





Celebrating...Sunday we had 2 parties, a graduation for my niece then the party moved to our house for Hannah's 8th birthday party.  She had Fancy Nancy Tea Party birthday.  Crazy but fun weekend with family and friends even out of town and surprise guests!  More details on the party later this week!




Enjoying...The rain the last few days has really greened everything up!  My daffodils are blooming, tulips up, bleeding heart and tiger lilies. So much green, even if it means I am going to have to mow lawn VERY soon!


Exhausted....After a busy week and weekend, I'm ready for a few days of no where to go towards the end of the week!  I'm so very thankful for an amazing group of women I meet with on Monday morning for a Mom's Bible Study, what a great way to start off the week!!!!!

Airplane Cake

Today I am getting ready for next birthday party at our house and realized I never posted how I made the airplane cake I made MONTHS ago for a very good friend of ours.  My hubby asked me to make him an airplane cake and this is how it ended up!!!!!


The original plan he found me was HUGE!!! It took 3 sheets of cake and after really looking at it I found I didn't have a container big enough to keep the cake fresh for 24 hours.  So...I improved and came up with my own plan.







Fun little airplane. 

Here are other cakes I have made also.

Reminiscing....I'm in the little at age 2, Hannah on the left, Kezia on the right!  I need to get a better picture of Miss Kezia but fun to have both the girls wear a dress that I wore.





Excited....My ring came back after fixing a prong and a little refurbish.  Amazing how shiny and new it looks again!  


Planning...A 'Fancy Hannah' party this weekend!  More to come next week!!!!

Word of the Year: Content Vol 11

Content

adjective  simple definition:  pleased and satisfied, not needing more

This week I have a couple sick kids, which has made for a very long week.  So today I took the time to do one of the most therapeutic things for me, hanging out laundry and be content for those few minute that it takes to hang a load of wash!


What is the small thing that makes you content today?

Ever feel like you are living a boring life?  Today I kind of felt that way until I realized, I live a very blessed life, and able to set down electronics and just live that life!  All week was just a normal week with normal schedule which was awesome.  

Blessed...I'm feeling so blessed with weather yesterday in the 50s to work on the swing set with my hubby, kids playing outside with the pitch back and little ones wandering around.



Look at that handsome guy!!!!

Growing...Hannah lost another front tooth and the one next to it is pretty wiggly too!  Love this stage in their lives when they are toothless...



Busy...This week we are crazy busy.  Looking forward to the end of the week when life gets back to normal.
