FREE PATTERN: at MMMCRAFTS
Ok maybe I should get off this computer because I just keep finding cute stuff everywhere...=D
I am going to be buying a sewing machine here pretty soon (as soon as I find a good one on craigslist =) I can't wait!!!!) I'm so excited. My TWO sister-in-laws are both pregnant and having their babies close together...so I really really want to buy a sewing machine, since the one I inherited from my grandma got left at my parents house and they accidentally sold it! ='( I'm so sad! So I am on the search for another one....
Well I just wanted to share this blog with you. There is a free pattern for the monkey doll pictured above. SO CUTE!!

Broken/ Toma Mi Mano ~Jennifer















Hey there! I am selling my CD. I made it before I went to college... hope you guys like it.
--Here's a funny story:
When I was in college my dad sent me a box of my CD's to sell as I sang in the surrounding churches. Well when I went to pick it up the lady at the mail center told me that she was concerned about what the box said. It said 200 out of 200 CD's Broken. She told me I should probably ask my dad if he had placed insurance on the package. I though to myself; aw man! they are all broken, how am I going to sell these??? So I told the lady bye and I would figure something out. HAHAHA...well as I walked away it finally clicked: HELLO!!! THE NAME OF THE CD IS "BROKEN"...I laughed all the way back to my dorm room after I told the lady about it. WoW---I'm such a dork!

So, Part of this cd is in Spanish and some songs are in English. And there are a couple that are bilingual. There are different styles of music on this CD. I am currently trying to figure out how to get it up on iTunes as well. Look back later because I will be posting a few of the songs so you can preview it. Thank you for buying! It would make a great gift! Thank you guys for supporting me! I only have a boxful of cd's left. So if you are purchasing this CD please leave me a comment!

Holes in my conversations


Ok so the other night my family and I were sitting at the table and my husband and I were having a conversation. It went something like this.




Me: "So babe, how was your day at work?"


Babe: "It was good...I need to ---"


Micah: "MOM MOM MOM!!!!"


Babe: "---go to the library---


Micah: "MMMOOOOOMM!!!


Me: "Micah, you see mommy & daddy talking? Wait!"


Micah: "But MOM I can eat 3 bites of my food? and I can have a brownie?"


Me: "No sweetie you need to eat all of it. Now, finish your food."......."ok babe, you need to go to the library?"


Babe: "yeah where's the nearest library at?"


Me: "Oh there's one on 23rd past the highway...."


Micah: "MOM, MOM MOM MOM!!!"


Babe: Trying to talk over our 3 year old " I need to check out like 20 books"


Me: "YEAH? We have a fine to pay first though...."


Micah: " MOMMMMM!!!!! MOM I CAN EAT 3 BItes AND HAVE A BROWNIE?!!?? I ATE 3 BITES!!! I WANT A BROWNIE!!"


ME: "Eat all your rice at least micah, mommy and daddy are talking, finish your food....all of it"


Babe: "Micah eat all your food---"


----What were we talking about???




Later on that evening on my way to a friends house to pick up something...I sat in my car thinking...'Where did he say he needed to go?' ---I thought and thought for like 5 minutes straight until finally I was like OH YEAH the library! 20 books? Why would he need 20 books? Wow...what a conversation. I don't even remember if he told me why he needed 20 books or not....later when I get home we finish our conversation while the kids are asleep.




Tell me tell me. Does this ever happen to you? The period where your little one is learning that it's not nice to interrupt? Tell me your story. =D

Eating Healthy
So we are on a 21 day Daniel Fast...the first time I did it It was Hard!! I was pregnant at the time so I was craving sweets left and right the first week. But you know what, after I was done with the fast and went back to my old eating habits---I was seriously craving all those healthy foods!

So here we are again. Eating healthy and I am loving it. I mean you feel so much more energetic. Sure sure it's hard the first week or so but after a while. WOW! So we might not be following the Daniel fast exactly but we've decided to not only do this for 21 days but to make it our new lifestyle.

And there's nothing better than your children asking for blueberries or oranges or wheat crackers...instead of all that junk out there. Chips, cookies, sweets...etc etc. We have switched our ground beef to ground turkey. Whole wheats instead of enriched flours. Less cheese, milk, and starches... Lots of fruits and veggies and more natural whole foods.

I encourage you. Eat healthy. Eat breakfast, exercise more. Feel Great! Do something for yourself moms...and help your children live right!

Here's more info on the Daniel fast: ( just some of the recipes and there are links in there about what the Daniel Fast is....It doesn't have to be a on going spiritual thing but I personally think God likes us to be healthy =D)
