What I Love Wednesdays!!

I decided to do a little feature day, because it's fun and everyone else seems to be doing it. It's a great idea!! So on Wednesdays, I will share one of my favorite things. Today it's the Forever21 Favorite Scoop Neck Cami. It is no wonder it's a "favorite" item since it rings up at a whopping $1.80!!! The quality is great, they're not too thin and they are perfect for layering. They come in all basic, neutral colors and there are even a few jewel tones thrown in there.

My absolute favorite thing about these camis is that they can double as nursing tanks. Super stretchy, I just pull them down and nurse away! Layer them under any other top and bam! It becomes a nursing top as well and your belly stays covered. Which is a legitimate concern when your body recently housed another human being and may not be ready to show off to the world.

I even wore these tanks throughout my pregnancy and they stretched enough to cover my entire bump. All the way to 39 1/2 weeks, my bump stayed covered. No riding up! I'm wearing those same tanks postpartum, no problem! Plus, they're so cheap - er, inexpensive - that you can seriously buy one in every color. I wear them under everything or alone while at home or going to bed. Thanks, forever21!

Tiny Spaces, Strange Places

Ooooh apartment living, how very strange you are. I lived my entire life in a ranch style house (my parents house) before getting married (minus a few early years I don't remember in a trailer and duplex). I romanticized the idea of apartment-living because it meant my OWN space! Freedom! And that first year or two, it was pretty fun. We collected our own furniture, most of which was bought for us or given to us. In the years that followed, we quickly began to outgrow our space and "upgraded" to a 2-bedroom with close to 300 extra square feet. We quickly filled that up as well, but as long as I keep a handle on our clutter and try to toss or give away what we don't use or need, the space stays manageable. My husband LOVES apartment living. Mainly because, we have no yard work to do, since he hates to mow. Also because, anytime something breaks, it's someone else's job to fix AND pay for it ;-) But there are some other odd things that take place when yo...

Baby Business

So, a little bit about this baby business of mine. A good, cheap form of birth control? Ha! Sometimes, yes. I have always loved children. I grew up the oldest of four, with my youngest siblings as young as ten and thirteen years younger. So I was quite the little mom. I graduated from college WITH a music degree and WITHOUT any real ability to play any instrument, other than the one God gave me from birth...i.e. my voice. Not a lot to recommend me for a job in that field (note: a later post about whether or not college is a great idea for everyone). I had oodles of experience in childcare! I easily got a job at Walnut Hill Day school, an adorable, peaceful looking place. And funnily enough, the director was really impressed by my music degree. Not that I made any real use of it there, but it was enough to set me apart and so I suppose it was useful. I worked there for a year and a half and eventually got a Pre-K music teaching job at another local daycare! So, this music degree ...

My Passion for His Passion

When I was a young girl, I used to visit my Grandparents' church in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky. It was a modestly sized church, always warm and inviting. Every year they put on an Easter program that took you through the story - from the last supper all the way through Christ's death and resurrection. My Grandpa routinely played the role of a disciple and recited his one line, "Is it I?" when Jesus tells them that one of the twelve will betray him. Each time I saw him on stage, I was so proud of him. I teared up every time they performed the Ray Bolz classic, "Watch the Lamb," and the actor portraying Jesus, bloodied and stripped down to rags, carried his cross down the sanctuary aisle. These things meant something powerful to me. They reminded me of the immense sacrifice my Savior made so long ago. The mediocre but sincere acting took me back to a time and place so easily forgotten in our modern day lives. They brought me to a place of vivid remembrance ...
