Lipsh Solution

So, if you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know Harper is obsessed with “lipsh” (aka chap stick, lipgloss, anything that resembles lip gloss, has sparkles, or smells like strawberries). She used to be just fine with chapstick, but my little chickie has gotten smart. Chapstick does NOT show up, so of course, she doesn’t want that!

She found this lovely lip gloss the other day in my purse.

She wouldn’t let it go. Revlon Coral Reef was all over everything… Baby Carol, Harper’s knees, one of her bunnies, etcetera. I knew it wouldn’t be long before it was all over my walls! I tried exchanging for another, less colorful lipsh, but she would have none of it. She was always looking for that lipsh. So, I had an idea. It did require a bit of a sacrifice. I had to really evaluate how much I liked Revlon Coral Reef, and I decided it did feel a bit too gritty on my lips. So, I sacrificed…


And, I have clean wall and one little girl who has her Mama’s lipgloss, and still thinks it works! Genious!

(remember, this is Harper’s smile.. not her angry face.)

To Change Your Day…

Today was really good.  Much better than yesterday or the day before that. 

Do you know why? 

Because I got up at 6 am, met with Jesus, and got ready.  All it took were those 3 simple steps and bit of sacrificed sleep to make my day incredible. 

Today was a house rescue day… where I tidied up and did lots of laundry.  I also went to my first Bible study in over 2 years tonight.  It is on generational sin.   We have to draw out our family tree/ genogram.  It is intense and going to rock my world. 

I’ve got to go to bed now in order to have another fantastic day starting at 6 AM!!!

Who would have thought getting up earlier than the fam could change your day THAT much!  It does… you should try it!

Also, Warner & Maverick are pulling up all the time now on chairs & couches.  Only problem… they get stuck & have to be rescued.  It is so funny.  You know what this means… we’ll have toddlers soon.  Oh little babies, stop growing so fast. 

A Letter to My Blog {39}

Dear Little Blog,
I’ve been a bad keeper of you.  
I will get better.  
It’s just the Lord has been stirring my heart with other things, and you, my little keeper of thoughts, have been pushed to the side.  
Do not fear, after a day of prayer and seeking my Lord & Savior, I am back.  
I will catch up later today. 
Love,
ML
