a bunch of random things [a vlog]

okay, before you watch this, i have to tell you: the heavy breathing and not being able to catch my breath? yes, that's normal. i can barely breathe right now, and the photo below will explain it all [31 weeks, today]. doesn't matter if i'm just sitting and talking, walking up stairs, trying to get my daughter into her crib... it's all hard right now. so just ignore the shortness-of-breath. maybe you won't even notice it, but i sure did :)



also? i hate watching/listening to myself. but this is what i sound like and look like [though i didn't finish my makeup today] so there's no getting around it... here goes!



the "danielle" that i mentioned is, of course, from "take heart". here's the specific post i'm referring to that you have to read about what not to say to a pregnant person. and here's where she's hosting a giveaway for a $35 shop credit to blossom & vine [that's my shop in case you didn't know].

[planner is from erincondren.com and this is the cookie recipe that i needed the white chocolate chips for... don't get any ideas, cookie party attendees- that's what i'll be bringing!]

to wipe away your yelling

one of my favorite things to do in december is to drive around to see the lights. our neighborhood is huge, and we have some seriously awesome houses. one of them is our next-door neighbor, so we don't have to look very far it we don't want to. but at least five or six times in december i would stick the girls in the car and drive around our neighborhood to spot the best-decorated houses. one particular evening, as we were driving, i asked my three-year old if she remembered what was so special about Christmas. "it's when Jesus came to see all my presents!" that's when you know you're doing a good job, right? yeah, so i gently reminded her that Jesus came, in fact, to wipe away our sins. after a thirty second pause, she wondered out loud: "He came to wipe away your yelling?" straight.to.the.heart. "Because when you yell, that's your sin. and when i don't listen to you, that's my sin." yes, right again. i found
