Spring has Sprung



I looked out my kitchen window this week and it was GREEN! It happened overnight! I could have sworn there were bare branches last night. I have been staring at them for months! All of the sudden everything is in bloom and green! If you know me you know how much I love change. So I was so ready for daylight savings! Even just a hour more of sunshine makes me so happy! Harper and I have spent so much time outside this week. I am an outdoors girls at heart. I don't like camping or some of those other things done in the "wild", but I do love fresh air!



I have been working extra hard in our yard trying to get rid of the weeds. When we bought this house we were not in our right minds. Cam hates yard work and we purchased this house that sits on 2 lots and is ALL flower beds. The people that built it had NO children and poured all of their money into the yard!! Well we have a 18 months old and my hubby has way too many hobbies. So I trying to keep everything alive in our "arboretum."

Here are some pics of us being OUTSIDE!

Priceless Gowns


This weekend I was able to be apart of an awesome ministry at First Baptist Conroe. Last year my Sunday School class started up "Priceless Gowns" because we all had a bunch of dresses that we were not likely to wear anymore. So our mission became to give away FREE prom dresses to girls in Montgomery County. We wanted to be positive role models and encourage girls in our area to be successful . Times are tough, particularly right now, so what an awesome time to help out, regardless of financial or family circumstances.

So after months of organizing, tagging, hanging, cleaning, sizing, sewing, decorating not to mention contacting businesses, newspapers, and photographers our day was a success!! We had girls walk away with a dress, shoes, jewelry, make-up, Bible, and a hair appointment!! It was so awesome to see this girls who would otherwise not go to prom be completely taken care of. I hope that each one felt God's love.
We well be hosting Priceless Gowns again this Saturday, March 7th from 9-1 at FBC Conroe.

My Shadow

Mama and Harper..besties

I am a stay at home mom. I have the best job in the world. No, it is not easy or glamorous, but I LOVE it. I am right where God wants me, doing the job he has called me to do. Harper has reached the age where we can "play" together. He imitates everything I do, the good and the bad! What ever I do he wants to do too. He is my little shadow. He takes one nap a day, so I get to play with him non stop all morning, which can be exhausting. Then when he goes down for a nap I do to. All this to say that I love staying home with him! Yes, we leave the house, but we are very content to just hang out in our pjs all day! I love being a mom!
