Fine Quality Leather Accessories that your Canine Best Friend Deserves  

My kiah was so hard to photograph...had to wait till she was sleeping. 

I may not have gone with the bling on her collar but she sure does love the pink.  If you have a pet and you can spoil them you need to check out all the fun options that Around the Collar can offer your pet.  I love the butterfly collars and the bright sparkly jewels.  

I like that this company asks for your pets neck size- it truly is the only way to get the right size collar.  I am so happy that my collar has room for my dog to grow.  

As far as I can tell my dog likes her collar.  It is not to tight and I know its soft and comfortable for her.

Thank you Around the Collar for sending me a collar to review.  All opinions expressed are my own and I was not paid for this review.  

Saying Goodbye is Hard

I sure have enjoyed this year being able to watch a boy my sons age.  It is so hard to say good bye when you can see a strong bond and true friendship in these two boys.  

I feel the same way for my daughter.  I am thankful she is excited for the move but she has some great girl friends at the young age of 5.  

I think it might be me who is having a harder time with this then my children. I am thankful they are young and I know they will make some new friends quickly.  It might be such a challenge for me because I grew up in the exact same house my entire life unlike my husband who moved around all the time. 

Only two more weeks of Wisconsin and then its Iowa time.  Please continue to pray for our transition as you can tell it is sad and hard but exciting and thrilling all at the same time.

Culture of Honor

It was a fun weekend as I headed back to Iowa to our soon to be new home, new church, new ministries.    My husband has been traveling back and forth each week.  This weekend we had our pastor go and they taught on honor together and it was awesome. The message above is worth listening too and I know your time is precious. Please take some time to listen to it and learn a little bit more about honor and how you can apply it to home, work, and well EVERYWHERE. 

Swinging Girl

I remember being a 5 year old and running into a swing just like the picture of my daughter.  What a sweet childhood memory of my own and one I hope my daughter will remember.  

To my Sweetest Daughter,

I think with each day that passes my love for you continues to grow.  God has shown me his love for me by the love I have for you.  :)  You are a great little girl and a smart one too.  

As a mommy I try my best to protect you from the world.  I pray that one day you might read this and think "my mom did a great job of teaching me about DADDY GOD and his love."  I pray for you daily and I am excited to continue to watch you grow and be your mommy.

Strawberry Nibblers

I open the fridge and grab the strawberries and realized my two children were in my berries.  They had taken a nibble out of every single strawberry!  What little stinkers I have.  These were some really yummy strawberries and only .99 cents at Aldi's.  :)
