Trendy Tuesday

Great idea Drea!

I would have to say my most favorite and useful product would be
Spray and Wash Dual Action.

I used to use Shout and it wouldn't get some stuff out, my friend told me about this Spray and Wash and it works SO WELL! It has taken stuff out of clothing that had already been washed and dried and been stained for sometime. It is a little more expensive than shout but I can usually find coupons in the paper and it WORKS, so why not! Especially since I like to Ebay my used kids clothing.

BE CAREFUL, it is NOT a pre-treat, you need to put the stuff on and immediately wash it. I forget sometimes and it has left bleach like spots on colored clothing. I have not had problems if I immediately wash.

Need a Daycare?

I always wonder what I would do if I needed to find a reputable daycare if I decided to work.

Picking a daycare is a big decision.

I know I would definitely shop around until I found the perfect fit for my babies.

Did you?

Did you have a wonderful Easter?

Did you remember to celebrate Jesus?

We watched Passion of the Christ for the first time Saturday night, what perfect timing!!

And then we woke up to an accumulated 12-14 inches of snow=(

I said "They can't cancel church on Easter Sunday."
Little did I know a few cities away they only had maybe 2 inches of snow!

I took a picture of the kids in their Easter outfits out by the snow, but we are out of town and I forgot my card reader=(
(We are out of town with Josh, keeping him company on his business trip, I have my car this time so we can go to some fun places)

I'll post it next week sometime.

One question: If I woke up at 2Am and didn't take one sip of anything to drink and I went to the bathroom 5 times before 9:30 am, do I have a problem?? I was so annoyed!

~A Joey~

We went to the zoo on Tuesday...in summer clothes..yet we had hats, gloves and boots on today.
Ok, I won't complain anymore, at least we had a few days of nice weather!!

So we went to the zoo on Tuesday, Ethan and I and some friends.
This picture is of a momma kangaroo and her joey.
He was in the puch butt first with all legs hanging out, it was hilarious.
They were only like 10 feet away, really cool!

Doing Unto Others

Lately the enemy has been trying to tell me to stop. To stop loving others, to stop helping, big lies are being whispered into my ears. I want them to stop, although I will NOT stop!

"LOOK AT MY ATTITUDE AND TAKE THAT...SUCKER"
( I guess you had to be at my church on Sunday to get that!)

By character I am am a loving, willing to help, giving individual. I love hospitality, always wiling to help and love dreaming up scenarios of really making a difference.

A few examples, I am always finding someone to give my kids outgrown clothes to. I hate having boxes of stuff lying around and we were never sure about how many or how close we wanted our kids. When we found out Ethan was a boy I went ahead and gave all our girl clothes away. Besides shopping for clothes for my kids is one of my favorite things to do! I am also always volunteering to watch others kids, bring meals to people, help in moving, etc etc.
I love to help and it gives me something to do.
Recently someone thanked me for planning a certain event and commented on how she feels bad I always get stuck doing everything. Well I actually enjoy it, and usually feel like I didn't even do much.

The lies I have been hearing are "Nobody appreciates what you do. " "Your friend wouldn't do that for you, " "Don't give those clothes away, nobody ever gives you any," "Why are you helping them, when you know you won't get anything in return."
Things like that.

But I felt like God just said "Donna, it doesn't matter, didn't I tell you to Do unto others as you want them to do to you." "Love your neighbor as yourself." "Be a light in the darkness."

Yes Lord you did tell us that, and like I told my husband. I am just in a season of doing unto others and waiting for my return!


One more thing.... My husband has been addicted to pod casts since he got his new Nano. He was listening to someone..not sure who..but that someone was saying..suppose God knew all your needs, suppose God knew exactly what you were going to ask for when you prayed, suppose God knew exactly what was on your heart (He does you know). Pray like you are communicating with God. Try it! Try to pray without asking, just talk to God.
It does say in the Bible to make your petitions known to God, and I know we are supposed to ask..and it will be given. But just sometime try to just dialogue with him. Try it and you may see.....haha!!
