I am blessed to call this godly man my husband. He loves his family; cherishes, protects, supports, and gives his all. I love how he loves our kids, for he savors every moment with them. He is our HERO.
Happy Father’s Day to my man and my dad. I love you both dearly!

Every summer the kids work on some extended learning workbooks such as these:
We also let them pick out something fun from the bookstore as a reward for a successful school year, and a kick-off to summer! This year the girls picked a journal to write their thoughts and doodle.
Here are some similar diaries and one for boys too!

Visiting the local library is a regular weekly treat throughout the year, but over the summer months we add audio books to our checkout pile. These are a few that our family has enjoyed over the years:

A hi-lo skirt, Ebay purchase, Mother’s Day gift, and AWANA. What possibly do these four things have in common? My outfit!
This hi-lo skirt has been waiting in my closet anticipating to be worn. I knew that when I received this purse as a Mother’s Day gift (featured on my pintrest “Mother’s Day Gift Ideas” board) this skirt was going to have its moment!
Not only did the purse inspire me to wear my skirt, but it also was a perfect match for my Seychelles! These shoes are where eBay comes into the picture. Like many people, I was skeptical to purchase a pair of shoes on auction. But because I knew my size for this particular brand, I felt assured they would fit. When eBay said I won these puppies…I really did win, at over 75% off! Don’t shy away from eBay if you are looking for a particular pair of shoes and can’t seem to find them anywhere. Or think about this, did you ever own a pair of shoes you loved and wished you bought another pair because you were afraid they weren’t around anymore? Check Ebay. Surprisingly, people clear out their closet finding shoes they never wore but purchased thinking they would.
Now as I put my ensemble together, it was missing an accessory…enter, the owl necklace. This necklace has an endearing memory associated with it. My daughter used her hard earned AWANA bucks to buy me something special. She memorized bible verses, prayed during club, participated, volunteered, etc. to receive these bucks. I wear this necklace with great joy! It along with my Mother’s Day purse indeed make me feel “Adorned with Blessings!”
