LAST CHANCE

If you’ve been thinking of entering the Baby Lee Stats Contest and potentially winning prizes you better hurry! The last day contest entries are being taken is 1/31/12 – yep that’s Tuesday!

 

Station Tour

I had a fun morning with 2 of the 4 home-school groups that came in to tour our station. I think they said there was a total of 50 people total in the group – WOW!  They were from all over the Chippewa Valley. The kids ranged mostly from pre-school thru elementary.  Lots of great questions were asked and hopefully I gave them fulfilling answers.

It’s always a fun treat for me to be able to interact with such knowledge seeking kiddos and parents, and listeners at that.  When I’m on the air I don’t see listener faces to know who am I reaching that day. Tours like this give me a few more faces to keep in my mind and remind me of who’s on the other side of the radio.

I Need To Do This More Often

The Cookie Debate

I don’t know if anyone else has this debate, but I noticed the other night as I was eating my favorite kind of Girl Scout cookies – Carmel deLites. This particular cookie is packaged in 1 tray with 3 columns of yummy cookie goodness. When I opened the box I had full intentions of consuming the whole thing (yes I think that is an appropriate/realistic serving size). I was reading before I went to bed as I was enjoying the amazing flavor of them in my mouth mmmmmmmmm yumm.

Craftiness Success

Those who know me are well aware of my lack of craftiness ability. I have creativity, but not craftiness. It’s been a life long journey of attempts to be crafty with little success. The little success is usually the result of help from friends, or sheer luck. Thus, when I came across this pattern to make a throw rug from old t-shirts I was hesitant, but excited at the same time as it appeared to take little skill. There was a glimmer of a chance.
On Tuesday evening I started the process of going thru my closet and having Nate do the same to find shirts that we no longer are wearing that also fit the color scheme. I’m pretty sure my hubby thought I was totally crazy – a 9 month prego lady digging frantically thru the closet looking for shirts that clearly won’t fit me anytime soon.
Once I got the stash of clothing I began cutting them into the strips as indicated in the directions. Sage objected to my cutting of the clothing, until he saw me assembling the rug.
I finished it last night and am kinda proud that it is presentable, and functional. It’s been placed in the nursery. Sage has even requested I make him one now.
Not bad for 2 evenings worth of work (most of which I could watch tv, or interact with Sage and Nate while doing). Just need scissors (sharp are better I learned), some old shirts, and time. Talent not necessairly required.

Here’s a link to the instructions I used. Send me a pic of you make one of these your self I’d love to see how creative others can be

We Celebrate the Coming Birth

We celebrate the coming birth
Of an angel come to Earth,
Resembling now a basketball,
But soon our love, our life, our all.

Yep I’m Pregnant – Getting Close Edition

• When I don’t call my mother back right away she worries I’ve gone into labor
• When I made the comment “I don’t have feet anymore” my son quickly informed me that I still had two of them, then he looked at my belly – giggled – and said “oh you cant see them, but they are there mom”
• It takes me 2-3 attempts before I can successfully get up from the couch

Finally We’ll Meet

Author: Sharon A. Blevins

I love you, little baby
You’re such a part of me.
Can’t wait to hold you in my arms,
And hug you tenderly.
No matter what you look like,
You’re beautiful, my love,
A precious gift bequeathed to me,
From heaven far above.
Each time I feel you moving,
My heart is filled with joy,
To think that very soon I’ll hold
My little girl or boy,
I’m counting every moment,
Til you’re mine at last, my sweet
It won’t be long until your birth,
Then finally we’ll meet.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Love this idea from Parents.com called “Snow Graffiti”. It’s simple, fun, and encourages creativity while getting the kiddos outside. I think I even have all the stuff to do this with at home. You’ll probably want to pick a day where the temperatures allow for being outside for a while, and of course there MUST be some snow on the ground.
