BOOK for sale!

Please go get this book- its written by a dear friend, Melissa Kruger. She's the director of women's ministry at our church.


She has written several Bible studies and is a gifted teacher. This book was born out of talks she'd given over the years. She is a mom to 3 kids and wife to Mike, the Dean of Students at Reformed Seminary, Charlotte and an associate pastor at our church.

She writes in a way that points women to truth as the Holy Spirit convicts our hearts of sin. What a gift this book is!

Go to amazon and get it now! You will not be disappointed!

Bennett turns 6!

My little redheaded beauty turned 6! Sticking with her fashion theme from parties past, this year's party was a spa party! Bennett continues to be such a joy- she is our most thankful child and quick to give affection- she loves all things people- she's a great question-asker. She loves to know what people are thinking and doing- (clearly ready for facebook.....) What a gift she is. Our best *surprise* ever from the Lord- Happy Birthday Beezy!

Raynee, Stella, Bennett, Milling, Lauren, Camilla, Celia, and Caroline

We began by making our fashion books- lacing and drawing....just to whet our whistles

Then it was full on spa treatments- Chocolate Mud Masks and Cucumber Ginseng peel off masks....the girls were so nervous they would hurt.....it was hysterical! Thanks to "Micole" Vaughn for her help!

the gift exchange :)

the motherload- why do we have birthdays so close to Christmas?! I'm hiding some of these to unearth them again come summer....

three little marys....

After Brandy's amazing homeschool posts on her blog I wanted to talk homeschool as well.
Let's be honest, I always can talk homeschool. It encompasses a great portion of my life.
So, I started a new blog where I'm sharing that portion of my life.

I am trying to make it fairly anonymous so I'd love for you to follow but I'm trying to keep some things private- the girls' names for example, so if you ever feel compelled to comment please try to respect that!

hop on over to 3 little Marys if you are interested!
