Happenings

Not much has been going on here in our home.  We have had some crazy weather though!  We’ve had a few good snow falls, but we still have GREEN grass.  In February. 

A rare glimpse.  Livi and Spencer working together!

And because it is flu/cold season a gentle and slightly gross request to clean your humidifiers:

 

And if you have stomached your way through that, you can keep looking.  Luke and his co-workers had a beard challenge and then each one shaved in a funky look.

 

Hahaha!!  Love that man!  I seriously laughed for a good 10 minutes, with a lot of tears.  (a lot of tears!)

Blog Worthy

I have a friend from my college days that is pretty much awesome.  She has amazing style that I could never dream of rockin'..and yet?  She does it with ease!

She is a wife, mother and domestic goddess.  Seriously.  Cori is pretty much the type of wife and mother I can only hope to be one day.  (In college, I was her visiting teacher for a bit and her apartment was decorated SO cute...she sewed her curtains and I was in awe of that :)  Fast forward 8 or so years and she MAKES some of her own clothes.  And they are chic!

With all of this in mind, do me a favor...click over to her blog:  La Vie Petite and check it out.  When you are satisfied that she is simply amazing, click over here and vote for her!

I submitted her name and blog for the Top 25 Fashion & Beauty Moms- 2012. 

From the website: 
Are you a mom blogger with an eye for style? We’re searching for the best fashion and beauty mom blogs – blogs written by moms that share fashion and beauty tips, products, and trends, and inspire us by showing how motherhood and style can coexist.

We are trying to promote and recognize the work of moms who blog with this contest, rather than blogs that are intended for mom readership. Therefore, this contest is only open to moms.

Since I honestly believe that she is exactly what the above states, I'll be voting for her daily. 
Do me a favor.  Put her link on your blog!

After I posted that last post on Mac, I felt like I was whining about our problems.  Don't get me wrong, it is hard to BE in the situation, but then I look at other people and their problems and realize that I can get through it.

If you get a chance, please go over to THIS blog, Praying For Rio.  I know Aaron, the husband, and I know that  he must be VERY worried for his step-son, Rio.  Any thoughts and prayers for this family would be wonderful!
