Fab Finds !!

With the help of my mom I am on the hunt for cheap decorating ideas and making old things new...here are a couple of finds that will be making an apperance in the new house.

New House Dining Room

OK, so here are pics of the new house dining room. The colors are horrible and they painted the ceiling. I really want to paint it a different color than the walls but not sure what colors. I really like the White, crisp colors that will look good with dark hardwood floors. Any ideas?

Decorating Ideas

With us buying a new home I have been a little obsessed with trying to figure out what to do with the dining room. The existing colors in the room are grey and copper, and really ugly. The walls also have a faux finish on them that are really going to make things difficult. Here are some ideas I have found and am really considering painting the ceiling a different color than the walls.

Praying for Layla Grace

I am writing this Blog while tears stream down my face. They are for a little girl I have never met but feel so compelled to pray for her and her family. She is dying from Cancer and she is only 2 yrs old. As I have been following her blog... http://laylagrace.org The post about how her mom really wishes for the days back where she was walking all over the place and into everything....she talks about how she used to look forward to naptime so she could get something done and I find myself in that same frame of mind most days.....Oh we just have to make it to 2 so that way I can finally get things done.....but why am I not enjoying every minute of Noah....why don't I engage more with him and soak up every new thing he discovers. If you have time read her blog...especially the valentines entry and Pray for Layla...Pray that as her little body prepares to die that she will feel Gods comfort and know that her body will be made new soon. Pray that she will feel no pain as she passes from this world . Pray that Her story will encourage many moms to look at your children be so thankful for the time you have with them. Don't live from nap time to nap time but embrace every waking minute with them.....You never know when God is going to call them home......

9 months

9 months...I can't believe that this is his last month in the single digits....He is growing up so fast. This month and last have been a whole new world for us.

Whats he doing:
Crawling everywhere really fast
Would rather open cabinets than play with toys....
He has 8 teeth
He has had his first real sickness...a horrible stomach virus that struck the whole Hunt clan
We have now officially had to baby proof the livingroom
Noah is starting to eat cut up pieces of food with his fingers
He is using the sippy cup....it usually ends up on the floor
He Loves Mickey Mouse playhouse....he laughs everytime he sees Mickey
He says DADA

I love staying at home with him and we have already started prayer time and worship time together during the day. God has really blessed us with an amazing little Guy

My heart is in Haiti and soon I will be there too

As I have watched the images on TV about the earthquake in Haiti I have been moved to my core. People dead, loved ones missing, children now without parents....and I can't help but stop and search my own heart about the things that I take for granted. As soon as I knew of what happened God told me that I was going to be going....I tried to overlook it as ...well doesn't everyone want to do something type of feeling...but as the days continued God would not let me escape the overwhelming nudge in my spirit to step up and Go.....afterall isn't that what He calls us to do.....to Listen to his still soft voice and be ready at any second to step out of our comfort zone and make a difference for Him....



So I am going to Haiti on Feb. 1st for 6 days with Mercyworks. I just found out today and I have to say that I am excited but a little nervous at the same time. I have a lot that I need to prepare for Mentally, spiritually and physically and only have 1 1/2 weeks to do it in..I know I am listening to Gods call on my life and know he will keep us safe, but am also sad about leaving my sweet baby behind.

Jeans

OK, so I don't know how many of you have been in search for the perfect pair of jeans your whole life but stop your search because I found them....Yes the Perfect pair of jeans....They make you look slim, tall and the pockets with a little bling either hide your booty or make it look like you have one....Really. They are called Miss Me jeans and I don't know why they are called that but I have decided it's because when a guy sees you walk away ....and they see how Amazing you look in your jeans....they will Miss you. You can get them from Buckle or Francesca's. They are a little expensive at 85-120 dollars but trust me, it is money well spent.
