Collin Tuesday! Errr.... Thursday.

True to the title of the blog- I've been busy.  I took pictures on Tuesday like always but didn't get a chance to post them.

 My two very sleepy boys

 Football footie pajams, Yeay!

 Looking to see what the dog is doing. 

He crawled on top of the diaper box all on his own. He was very excited squirming around so Dad is holding him so I could get the picture :O) Love this kid!

Etsy Find Friday

Today's feature: Silver Jewelry!

 Bee Ring $89

 I love this "Tiny Bee Ring" for obvious reasons.  It is so cute and petite.  If you follow the link the seller has it stacked with another ring that has a gold hydrangea blossom and a little diamond. Stunning!

 From the same seller (I really like this shoppe!) I give you the Hydrangea Cluster Necklace $158.

So delicate and dainty.  I love the one little blossom off on its own. Precious!

 I'm a heart lover.  My engagement ring is a heart, and so is most of the other jewelry my sweet husband has given me.  For your enjoyment: "Heart on your sleeve" ring $158.

And I'd like to leave you with a song:

What’s in a Name? · Max Lucado

What’s in a Name? · Max Lucado

Give that a listen. It's only about 30 seconds long.

I was wondering about this subject recently- Will my name still be "Brooke" in Heaven? I also wondered because some people have truly terrible names and I wondered if God would make them keep what their mother cursed them with.

I have so many questions about Heaven. I'm very excited about living there someday! I'm curious what my Heavenly name will be. I also wonder if we will recognize people- people we know now, here on earth, like our friends and family. And if we will just know who Peter is.

Whenever I get frustrated with the things of this world, I am comforted to remember that I was not created to be here- that my longing for something better will be quenched when I'm united with my Heavenly Father in person. I wonder what he looks like. I want Him to wrap me in a huge bear. Heaven!

Collin Tuesday!

He's giving kisses now too... very selectively though. 

Etsy Find Friday

I love personalized items! There is just something so much more special about giving a gift that is specifically for the recipient. It shows you care, that you were thinking specifically of them and didn't just pull something out of your gift closet. 

First off: An Address Stamp. I like this one because it is simple, classic and elegant. 

Address Stamp $22.95

Well, I think it's obvious why I like this necklace :O) Besides the "B" I like the antique, vintage feel. Its not so big that it screams at you but it's big enough to stand out as a unique piece.

Initial Pendant $52

And why not something sweet for little beebs? How precious these would be for newborn photos! They come in a variety of colors too. 

Personalized Infant Boxer  $13

If you've ever been to NYC you've seen the street artist that paint your name in bright colors and each letter looks like a clown or a dolphin or something equally juvenile.  This, I believe, is the artfully mature version. I like how the photographer finds letters in unlikely places. This would make such a unique wedding gift. 

Letter Photo Personalized Wedding Gift $36

Happy shopping friends!

Collin Tuesday!

Well, it's been an eventful week in the life of Mommy and Beebus.

We visited Anthony's Coal Fire Pizza on Friday evening with Grams and Aunt Bethany.  We were told we had a 15 minute wait so we sat on the bench outside.  Bethany was holding Roo when she sniffs and looks down at her arm. Poop. SOMEONE (Buff Puff) had applied the diaper crooked leaving little bums to squish poops out the sides and out his pant legs. Attractive.  As soon as we discover this our table became available.  I told Mom and Bethany to just go sit down and I would take Roobis out to the car and get him cleaned up. To my complete and utter dismay I had NOTHING in the car. No wipes, no diapers, nada.  I found a blanket in the trunk and walked my gross kid inside the restaurant and straight to the lady's room.  I stripped the little booger and gave him a bath in the sink. I put his poo clothes in the zip lock I had his bottle in and used the blanket as a diaper and used the sweater I had intended to later wear at a movie to clothe my child.

"What the heck mom? ALWAYS be prepared!"

We also acquired real high chair of our very own! I had been feeding the wiggle worm on the floor and decided that was no longer a proper parenting technique. And I was so proud of my recent ability to stay away from Target... oh well. It was a NEED. 

Stink eye

And finally this morning: I woke up and went in to get Collin out of bed.  He was all wrapped up in his blanket, so cute!  I picked him up and the stench assaulted my nose. His diaper had not contained all of the... everything from the night's rest.  BOO! Yesterday something similar happened, but I had just gotten him out of the car seat, sniffed and found poop all down my arms. Delicious. This kid gets more baths because it just seems easier to bathe him than to struggle with butt wipes and his kicking. 

The adorable-ness that preceded the stink.

My kid has a lot of nick names. Get over it.

um..... Something... Saturday...

I haven't been very good at keeping up with, or coming up with new themes for each day.  Tuesday is DEFINITELY "Collin Tuesday" because I always take his picture on Tuesdays because he was born on a Tuesday.  Makes sense.

"Etsy Find Friday is fun." I like it anyways :P

I've decided to indefinitely suspend "Mission Monday" due to such a low readership (Hello Emily).  At the rate I'm going I don't have enough interest in my blog to have enough interest in this particular day to generate interest in whatever I might be auctioning off for a donation to a mission. So, I will think of something else for Monday until you tell your mom, your friends, and everyone you know to read my silly blog. Haha!!! Then maybe someone will want to bid on a Stella & Dot necklace, or a cork board, or some candles, or a gently worn and cared for article of clothing (usually size M-L...unless I was feeling skinny (and stupid) and I purchased a Small and then there's the obvious reason why I must get rid of it- It's toooooooooo small).

So I have two days of definite posts.

I'd like to leave off with a song:
