A Princess Turns 8!

This past weekend our family met another milestone. Our princess, Olivia Grace, turned 8! The weekend officially started on Friday when I brought a special birthday lunch to Olivia's school to enjoy with her. The rest of the weekend was spent celebrating our sweet girl with lots of fun that included getting her ears pierced (yikes! how is she already enough for that?), birthday breakfast with her Mimi & Papa, manicures, a special birthday tea party, lots and lots of sweet treats and gifts, birthday dinner out with family, and so many other fun things! It really was a great weekend!

I was so excited about how her party turned out and the beautiful photos that came from it that I wanted to post some of them here, and also give my recommendation to Butter Blossoms Shortbread Shoppe & Tea Party Room for their amazing hostessing of my girl's tea party. I'm sure they would love to hear that I recommended you to them! On top of the beautiful space though, these mother/daughters combo were the sweetest, most hospitable team I've ever come across! I highly recommend them for any little girl's tea party, bridal or baby shower, or just as a place to pop into their shop and enjoy some of their yummy treats! I'm thinking this will be a great place for Olivia and I to visit for future Mommy/Daughter Dates!

Seriously, the photos speak for themselves.

A beautiful tea party for a beautiful girl.


Delicious cupcakes and tea sandwiches.


This photo turned out a bit blurry, but I love that I caught her giggling with friends!


Judah woke up and got to enjoy some of the party too! He wouldn't dare pose for a photo though; that would be proof! ha


I loved this one. All 4 pretty girls enjoying their yummies!

Happy birthday Olivia! You make this world a much better place! I love you!!

    I want to have my birthday there! :) Really though, it's adorable! Have you read Sparkly Green Earrings? It's about a mom of a little girl - I think you'd like it.

      I know! The other moms and I kept saying how we want to throw an adult tea party...which they do...just because! Which, in the future, might happen! :) I downloaded that book when you, or someone else at Mom's Life told us about it last year, just have not gotten around to reading it!

Can you make "new years" resolutions in August?

I'm not usually one to make specific New Years Resolutions each year. I'm not sure if it's because I usually don't follow through with them or if I'm just not motivated enough to actually sit down and highlight some things in my life I'd like to START or STOP doing. However, I know I fall victim to the thought of "oh, I'll wait til the beginning of a new day, week, month, or year to start...." In this case, I don't want to wait until January comes around again to start a new habit. This year has already flown by too quickly.  My son will be 1 soon, and not long after my daughter turns 6 (although many days it feels like 16). So if I were a "resolution-making" type of person, this would be it. I have had so many ideas/thoughts/goals/plans in the last year that I've put to the side for another time, another day that I fear they're beginning to collect dust.  I love to write. I always have. I remember growing up and loving to ...

Sorry isn't enough!

So I'm on Day 2 of my Daniel fast. Fruits, vegetables, and water. That's it. Sounds like torture-especially for a "meat and potatoes" kind of girl. I Love fruit-and several veggies too though, so it's not bad (yet). I've also given up facebook.  Scott and I are wanting to grow closer together as well as hear from God about a few specific areas of our life, so I'm devoting these 3 weeks to seeking God, hearing from God, praising God, and being more productive as a wife and mother! This morning I was reading my fasting devotion and it talked about repentance.  "From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.'" Matthew 4:17 In the Old Testament the word "repent" meant to "be sorry". But in the New Testament, the Greek word means "reconsider or think differently".  It's no longer OK to just "be sorry". We're called, commanded even, to chan...

It Brings Forth Life

A friend of mine posted on her blog this morning about how God's Word brings life. In every season, every situation, at any age, forever and ever, God's Word brings life.  Winter has definitely set in here in Alberta, Canada. There are no longer signs of fall; no hope of seeing any color other than white for the next several, and I mean several months! Something I didn't realize before I married a crazy Canadian was how much the weather would affect me. Winter in Canada is WORK! Trees lose their leaves, snow covers the ground, the roads get slick, and the air literally freezes your nose hairs.  Bundling up is some sort of Olympic event in our house! Except in all the chaos, whining, and fit-throwing, we struggle to qualify for this event! It's a comedy show, really. I'll never forget the first time my parents came from Georgia to visit at Christmas. My dad walked through the parking lot of some store we were at taking pictures of all the cars that had plugs hanging ...
