Every time a bell rings…

I was talking to my lovely mother this morning, who told me that Kali loves Tinkerbell! I haven’t watched any of the Tinkerbell movies, but I think I have some okay ideas for a fairy princess party. We’ll see what Kali thinks. I would start by decorating the house with some giant flowers. Design Sponge made these huge super-cute flowers but these poster-board flowers look a little easier to be honest. The huge scale should help the kids feel even littler, almost *fairy-like* (I hope).

These mini cupcakes would be add to the scale of the party too. I would top the cupcakes with some edible glitter and put the extra golden glitter in these fairy-dust containers.

Cupcakes baked in ketchup cups, so cute for a party or a shower! You can use a flat baking sheet too as the cups are strong enough and don't need a muffin tin.

I love how Hostess with the Mostess utilized mushrooms and butterflies for this fairy party. It might be fun for Kali and her friends to paint their own little mushrooms, but I’m leaning more towards butterflies myself. I’d also add some sweet banners and a few decorative bells for the kids to ring. You know what they say! Magical Backyard Pixie Hollow Tinkerbell Party

I think Kali would need a flower-headband! This tutorial makes it look so simple! Some edible fairy wands would be fun too!

This fairy outfit is so cute! And I love the detail on this Tinkerbell bow! So funny.

You think she’ll catch on that I have no idea what Tinkerbell’s story is?

I thought I was fat

As a woman, I've always placed a lot of value into what I weigh and how I look. In the past few years especially I've been doing my best to move away from that, to focus on being healthy and feeling good, but those thoughts creep up for sure. It's my 6 week check in and I've lost 4 more pounds, so basically I still have 18 pounds to go. I started out these 6 weeks by going to the gym and only drinking water, but after week 2 Eli got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got sick for 2 (make that 5...) weeks, then I got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got an ear infection and would NOT sleep. He wouldn't fall asleep for 2 hours past bedtime and would wake up for hours. He's actually still doing this and he's still sick. Thursday he had a 101 fever so I took him in to the urgent care and his ear infection in his right ear did not go away. They put him on Augmentin and it just destroys his tummy. He actually vomited 3 times Friday on top of it all. I'm not used to thi...

The Daniel Fast

When Josh and I moved back to Bellevue this summer we joined a new church, Zeal, which we really love. We've felt more challenged there to really engage, and twice a year the church as a whole focuses on 21 Days of Prayer. In January we fast during the 21 days, andre encouraged to give up something we feel hinders our focus (Instagram, sweets, etc.) We chose to do the Daniel Fast. The Daniel Fast is based on the following verses... “Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink." Daniel 1:12 In those days, I, Daniel, had been mourning for three entire weeks. I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks" Daniel 10: 2-3 So basically, we've been eating a vegan, gluten-free, no sugar or sweetener-added foods for the past 11 days. We don't have fried foods either as they're 'rich', but we do have whole grains. We drink 100% juice and wat...

Not so fast

Well, this week wasn’t quite as easy as the week before. Hence, the late post. Yes I’m glad to be home, but things went very awry much of the week. Josh didn’t come home on time any day, and to be honest one of those days while the dinner timer was going off and Eli was screaming for dinner in his high-chair, Kito decided his antibiotic wasn’t agreeing with him and proceeded to vomit…5 times. I may have cried. Eli was teething on top of that so sleeplessness was in the mix and our schedule got thrown off by doctor appointments and such. I’d much rather have things go as planned, but what can you do? Still- I feel like my compassion and ‘spark’ are coming back slowly. What we Bought: Little yums teething biscuits and new diaper bag Most Awkward Moment: Eli pushed the shred box over and used it as a step so he can prop himself up and see outside. I was in the room! He was just so fast. Best Moment: Any of his very clingy hugs! He just loves you so much and you know it. U...
