i picked up this doll at goodwill a few days ago...
i know some people will think i'm crazy (my sisters for sure)
but i think she's gorgeous.
tattered dress and all.
be better
- The truth is we all ache. We all have growing pains and wonder if we are okay and enough and loved. The thing is we are. Really. we are enough without all the things we buy to make us much more than we are or need to be we are simple and complex and rare as is. sabrina ward harrison

e
this is my current favorite picture of emerson.
he is such a sweet boy...well most of the time!
he's winning.
it's no secret that we love thrifting around here.
jim has been wanting to get an air purifier for awhile now...
but they are seriously expensive.
well he picked this one up last week for $1 at goodwill.
yes. ONE dollar.
he came home to look it up online.
turns out it's a really nice one!
seriously! $222 on sale?!
a couple of new filters later and we were all set!
i think that's the best deal we've ever had on anything at a thrift store!
we also picked up that playmobil camper trailer for a quarter...
it fits perfectly on the back of sage's playmobil jeep!
i also picked up this awesome rainbow water color set for a quarter!
the kids played with it for hours this weekend.
i'll try and post more of our crazy good deals a little more often!
i get focused on getting stuff cleaned up and photographed for my etsy site and forget to share the stuff i get for us to keep on here!

freezer paper stencils with kristin
kristin had already planned on coming over to craft tonight.
but i was SO excited when she brought the supplies to do freezer paper stencils!
i've been wanting to try it for so long...
it was SO easy. and the kids are in love with their shirts!
note: i just grabbed shirts out of their drawers that didn't have any designs and used the acrylic paint i had for sage's and used the fabric paint kristin brought for emerson's. they both turned out awesome.
thanks kristin!!
first picture + gems
this is the first picture i took with my new camera!
yes. after 4 years with the rebel xti i finally upgraded.
hoping to play with it a lot this week so i can get used to it.
this is what happens when you forget to put the flour in the gems.
and this is what happened after my incredibly patient husband cleaned out the entire oven while i scrubbed the gem pans to start over! it was worth it. i hadn't made them in over a year. yum.

green smoothie
a couple months ago i started drinking a green smoothie every morning for breakfast. i think i lasted 2 or 3 weeks. then got off track. but i'm trying to start up again! i know it sounds gross but you have to know that if i'm drinking it can't be that bad! i'm SO picky. so here's what i put in my green (purple) smoothie.
--a couple big handfulls of baby spinach
--a cup or so of orange juice
--a quarter cup or so of wheat germ
--half a banana
--a couple handfuls of blueberries (that's why my smoothie is purple)
--a handful of ice
that's it! and it really is tasty...i promise.

i realize i still haven't posted pictures of the great room.
but i still have a few more things i need to do to make it complete.
while we've been putting finishing touches on the great room...
jim has been hard at work on the front room.
he knocked down a wall...removed a closet...the list goes on.
the picture above is a little sneak peek of that room.
we are loving how it's turning out!

grandma's visit...
my mom came out for a few days and the kids loved every minute of it!
we went and saw Rango (don't see it)
we had Emerson's bday party
we went to the Kalamazoo Valley Museum
we went out to eat at Red Robin
we went to Meijer Gardens
we went out to eat at Pizza Hut
and the kids loved having her read them stories
and just having her around!
it was a quick trip but we packed a lot into it...
thanks for coming to visit mom!
