These beautiful trees are found through North America, Europe and Asia. My sponsor child wrote a handwritten letter asking for some pictures. So I printed out a few and put them inside her Thanksgiving card. I’m actually holding Carolina’s 2015 World Vision progress report photo in my hand as a sweet surprise. Quick Tip: When […]
I mailed her a cute Koala bear card and paper doll. Do you think the Koala-fy pun will get lost in translation? To save on shipping cost I didn’t include the Lisa Frank box. Without it the small surprise easily fit inside.
This is stuff I found while browsing the net. Check back every Monday for more… Joke of the Week: It was Black Friday, the day of the big sale. Rumors of this incredibly amazing 6:00 am early bird sale (and some advertising in the local paper) were the main reason for the long line […]
These funny photos of my nephew, all taken within less than one minute, remind me of the Love You Forever book cover. To be such a tiny little guy he moved rather quickly. The first timestamp says 6:10:52 PM and the last 6:11:49 PM on Tuesday, June 18, 2013. At that time he was nine months old. Omari […]

Something unusual was about to happen today. He glanced out the window at the thermometer: 33 […]
Some baby items don’t need to be wrapped individually. You can put them in a gift bag or a gift box like I did. First, put tape on the back of each item and arrange them a certain way. Then place them inside the box. Put some tissue paper down and place the main gift […]
This is a nice little registry for baby shower guests to sign. As the pregnant guest of honor unwraps her presents, designate someone to write down each item along with the name of the gift-giver. This booklet will come in handy later so that the parents-to-be can send out thank you cards or include a […]
When school was in session, I used to “bug” Patrick just about every morning before school started. I’d sit in his class and we’d converse while he was preparing lessons plans. One day I wrote a cheerful message on his whiteboard. He didn’t ever turn me away; like some others did. Even when […]
This is stuff I found while browsing the net. Check back every Monday for more… Joke of the Week: Fred saved up his allowance money for a few weeks and decided to treat himself to some chocolate for always doing his chores. So off to the candy store he went. “You should give that money to charity,” […]
A dose of my life.
