I’ve talked before about my card club. It’s really a glorified talking club, but it is fun to make cards and get rid of my old scrapbooking supplies since it’s been years since I’ve used them. Last year I made a card similar to this card, and I wasn’t sure how I was going to top it. I don’t think I topped it in humor but I do think these little shirts are adorable, and they use up all of the ugly scrapbook paper that comes in packs that you would never use for anything else.
Just think that any paper you have that could look like an ugly, fancy, Hawaiian or flannel shirt. I added bow ties and mini buttons to some and long ties and pockets to the others. To make the shirt I followed these directions… and when I couldn’t do it with those directions I watched this youtube video. I made the insert in photoshop,here is the pdf dadsdayinsides , you can print it out and it works for three cards… To make the shirt I used a 12 x 12 piece of scrapbook paper and cut it to be 7.5in x 12in.
Father’s Day Card
Things I learned in May
Below are 7 things that I’ve learned about myself this month. I read Chatting at the Sky’s list which was funny and interesting. I’m a horrible writer so I went with something that probably isn’t as cute and funny but at least if no one reads it; it will still help me grow.
- If I don’t set aside specific time to do something it will never get done. This blog is a prime example. My last post was April 30th, but I’ve done some super cool things since then but never set aside time to write about them. I could play with my kids all day, but it does them good to play on their own too. So I’m going to set apart some time for things I’d like to accomplish.
- I need to stop procrastinating. My younger daughter cut her hair to have it donated to make wigs for cancer patients – it’s all wrapped up and ready to be sent, but still next to my desk. It is a little eerie having an envelope of human hair in your room, but that doesn’t even seem to motivate me. Luckily it doesn’t go bad so it’s still useable. Sadly, it’s been so long that her hair has almost grown back again. And for about two months there I was sure I had sent it because I couldn’t find the envelope, but that is more because of my messy room. The whole procrastination thing goes with my ENFPness ( My two favorite descriptions of ENFPS that both fit me to a t – Description 1 and Description 2 - definitely read them if you were an ENFP on the Meyers Briggs Personality Test), ENFPs are passionate and gung ho for the first 80% of things and then have trouble finishing up. It is one of my biggest downfalls.
- I take joy in creating things. I love it. I love working on crafts, sewing, painting, photography, woodworking. I need to realize that creating needs to be apart of what I do in someway. I was created to be a creator. Below are some useful and not useful things I made this month. My daughter and I made baked marble earrings for her teacher, I made shrinky dink rings from left overs with my youngest, I made a felt mortar board hat for my youngest graduating preschool,
and I made a couple of onesies for my friend having a new baby. I’m starting to realize about myself that I really enjoy the process of creating, I love learning how to do new things, I love beauty and I really enjoy giving people things that is a personalized fit for them. But I also realized I don’t have an endless supply of free time. I need to find a balance. - Ironically enough I’m task oriented. Okay I know you are thinking, that is completely contradicting my inability to finish things… but well that is my problem. Luckily I found out that I’m too much of a people pleaser that if something has a deadline that will be checked by another person then those things I can get done. That is the reason why signing up and running races helps me to continue strong with running. I ran the Philadelphia Broad Street run in May with two friends and I had a personal best because I knew I wasn’t going to be running any more races for the year (trying to save money for adoption makes it hard to justify paying someone money to let me run ). So my goal is to make sure that I’m accountable for big things to get done.
I have an amazing friend who is working on coaching… pretty much she helps people keep on track and reach their goals. She has helped so much and now I just need to stay on track and finish what I start. - I am addicted to sugar… and you probably are too. I’ve been hearing things for a year about how sugar can act like a drug in your body and how it triggers different physiological responses and over eating can be one of them. My husband and I are trying to move towards more whole, less processed food, less gluten, less dairy (oh my how I love dairy) and less sugar filled diets. There is a lot of research about the lifelong food problems associated with children that grow up with malnutrition. We are hoping to lead much healthier eating lifestyles so that we can help our son have one as well when he comes to us from Ethiopia.
- Making homemade gifts often costs more money then just getting a store bought one, so maybe not try and make everyone a gift. Truthfully, if you just counted the cost of the material you used to make just the gift it is usually cheaper than buying one, but I always buy extra just in case, and sometimes I need a new product to make it, or sometimes I screw it up and have to start over again. Granted, because of all the gifts I’ve made in the past I often have a lot of what I need. However, I need to start thinking about the gift receiver - Do they really want me to make them something? Is this really better than something I could buy for them? I’m not super sure every gift I make can answer yes to these questions and I need to not make something if that is the case. Here are some things I’ve made for gifts recently.
- It takes a village. So this is a huge one and probably deserves it’s own post… but I’m often so overwhelmed with thanks for all of the people who made this happen that I’d start crying while typing and I’m not very good at writing in the first place. So here’s the short version. I’m in a woman’s group that read Jen Hatmaker’s book 7 that discusses simplifying and doing without in this world of excess. We also focused on how doing with less can actually create time, money or space for others to have more. So we decided to have a garage sale at the end of our study as a culmination of all we learned and we would donate the proceeds to an orphanage in Haiti through Help One Now which is the organization that Jen Hatmaker supports and that Sarah an amazing women in our group worked with in Haiti. So just a couple of months before the garage sale the women in my group got together and surprised me that half of the proceeds are going to our adoption! WHAT!!! We were so excited… you can read a bit of my ridiculous struggle here. So of course I’m over whelmed by their love and generosity.. but then it gets better… they all spend hours and hours putting this thing together. Dozens of people donated items over months!!! Then our group and friends spent the whole week before organizing it and advertising for it, then this church (which isn’t my church by the way, but is an awesome church that loves the Lord so much and always… ALWAYS puts their resources and gifts in the hands of those who need it without anything in return (ie. community outreach, NA meetings, voting, Alternative gift market, kids stuff sales to raise money for the Laurel House and so much more - check it out Valley View Church if you are looking for a church!!), then more people came and spent the whole day selling, cooking (check out Extraordinary Edibles donating the most amazing crepes), then Carla going all out and creating a silent auction practically on her own, then all my friends taking on lots of responsibility for what seems like a really long time… all to help (some baked, some made cool shirts that said GS4O, some got friends to donate and some moved stuff) in the best way they could. They helped our family specifically, but they also helped kids in Haiti, and they helped our community become more aware of the cause of the orphan locally and globally! Here is Sarah’s post about the event, and read on to hear about her trip to Haiti.
Many photo credits go to Joe Roberts Photography. You can see lots of the photos from the garage sale here on Valley View’s Facebook page even if you don’t have Facebook.
I’m already learning more for this month… hopefully I’ll post it before August.
In praise of the working Mom and in defense of the stay-at-home Mom
I’ve had a job since I was 16. I’ve been a candy girl at a movie theater, a waitress on a boat, a balloon deliverer, a research engineer and a teacher. I worked for just under 10 years and I remember how hard it was to make the transition to being a stay-at-home mom. Staying at home doesn’t give you the positive feed back you get at work, it can be emotionally and physically draining without being intellectually stimulating and with little sleep in the beginning it is often hard to differentiate day from night. But I’ve grown to love it so much in these past 8 years that it is hard to picture a different way of life. A month ago I was presented with an opportunity to work full-time. It took a little shuffling since my youngest is in prek only 3 half days (7.5 hours a week), but we figured it out with a friend babysitting, my husband going in later and her coming to the school I was working at two full days. I thought this was an amazing opportunity to make money to help fund our adoption. It was working with kids and not really having any responsibilities to bring home. I prayed, my husband prayed, we were set.
I was super excited the first day. I got up early, ran, showered, put on nice clothes and make-up (usually something I only do 4-5 times a year). I was a kindergarten aide. The teacher was amazing and the kids were adorable. I gave it my all. Literally I tried to meet the needs of all the kids I could, I tried to be proactive helping the teacher and to be friendly and chatty with the staff I had never met before. Not to be too proud, but I think I did a good job.
It was time to go home. My youngest was okay with her first day of full day school ever, and my oldest enjoyed having us both at school. But after taking them to gymnastics and then home to make dinner I crashed. My husband did the dishes and put the girls to bed – I was already asleep… it was 7:30PM. I woke up at 4:30 in the morning realizing just can’t do it. My family lives in a stay-at-home world where I take care of lots of things… not just food shopping, dishes, and laundry, but gifts for the family, special traditions, crafts for the kids, after school activities, volunteering for the church, adoption paper work, all of the doctor’s appointments, girl scout coleading, birthday party planning, kilt making for international night, science explorer teaching, and tutoring. I couldn’t do it. The next day I let them know and stayed on for a month while they found someone else. In that time it definitely got easier, we ate out a lot, I didn’t play outside with them as much, but all of our needs were met. My hubby did so much more and received so much less attention from me, but we were all in it together. Failing isn’t something I’m use to doing, and I wasn’t going to let this one pass me by without learning from it.
What I’ve learned:
I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to stay at home. I have time to go to Bible Study, see my friends, live in community with other women, I can learn new things to help our family like how to make stuff from scratch and homemade presents for our family and friends, in this time I’ve learned how to create websites, use computer photo editing, and become an amateur photographer, and run a marathon. I am available to help my friends out with watching their kids and even to get to do this blog. But my favorite part is that I get to spend so much time with my family. I’m here for my kids all the time, I get done a lot of the day-to-day stuff when they are at school so I can be fully charged and available when they are home. My husband has a pretty demanding job, but since I have time at home to get things done it isn’t stressful when he comes home. I can have a great quiet time with God everyday because I have the time. I am so thankful. I’ve had these things for so long that I don’t think I truly appreciated them. The first day without work my daughter and I played Polly pockets, Barbie, went to the park and made muffins… just before lunch. I feel truly blessed to have this time, and I know that it won’t last forever, but now as cliché as it sounds… each day of it feels like a gift.
Please know that I don’t mean that if you work outside the home that it means you don’t do these things. In that time of working I met women who taught and had young children, they were super productive at work getting all their planning done while they were at school so that they were fully present with their kids at home. For that month I got a glimpse of how incredibly hard it must be to get things done like grocery shopping and changing over clothes from one season to the next, and cleaning and cooking and everything else that is on their plate. Then as I went to bed early every night I realized that moms who work full-time give up their free time – all of it or at least most of it. No matter what lunches need to get made, laundry needs to get done, homework needs help, husbands need attention, activities need to be planned. But the long distance run to clear your head, or the guilty pleasure of watching a TV show that you know isn’t really beneficial, or the extra hour of reading a good book, or a coffee with a good friend that turns into an afternoon with that friend laughing… those don’t always have to get done and I’m starting to realize that as a stay-at-home mom I get to indulge in these things. I think sometimes stay-at-home moms think that there is no way that working moms can’t do it all… but I’ve realize they do but they make wise choices about where to spend their time and they sacrifice a whole lot of their alone time to get it all done.
We are all different and all have a unique set of circumstances that dictate how we are making it day-to-day… maybe we have help from a parent, or maybe we have flexible hours, or maybe we have to stay at home for little ones or to home school, or to keep it all running smoothly, but what I’ve learned most is that we all are just trying to do the best we can with the circumstances that we have. It’s taken awhile, but I’m finally giving myself grace in my failure of not being able to work in knowing that right now this is what’s working best for our family. I hope and pray that you are able to give yourself grace too. God didn’t create Mom guilt… that’s from somewhere else. We feel guilty for staying at home, should we be working and contributing more monetarily? We feel guilty for working, should we be at home more? Neither question is beneficial. If only you could see all that you do through the eyes of another on the other side of the fence you’d see that all that you do is amazing.
Then I found this amazing video about the job of a mom – working or staying at home that shows the importance of our job. Thanks Lisa-Jo Baker.
Party Preview Post
My oldest – Miss Thing turned 8. It’s hard to believe that everyone was right, childhood really does fly by so quickly. As I try and put together this post I wanted to start off with some sneak peek pictures.
March Madness for kids (more than you want to know about March Madness)
I remember sitting in the hospital breathing through contractions and watching the NCAA Selection show. It’s where the college basketball teams get their standing for the NCAA basketball march madness tournament – we were waiting paitently for a number 1 seed for our beloved Tar Heels. I was litterally squeezing my hubbies hand while they were paning back and forth between schools and placings.
My husband will probably be annoyed by all of my incorrect verbage in this post, but here goes anyway. I love sports, I love playing them and for the most part I like watching them… but really no one can keep up with my husband he can tell you everything about everything he even knows facts about random sports like curling. So having a baby born in March well… there was no choice but to have March Madness become one of our traditions. (Side note we watched the Home run Derby and the all-star game for baseball on our honeymoon… apparently we like to remember major life events with sporting events.) So since my oldest was 4 we’ve always picked brackets for March Madness… My husband and I don’t gamble… but this is just for family bragging rights. It is also a great opportunity for the girls to bond with their dad, learn about sports, and learn some graphic organizer skills.
We always go over about how the number next the team tells how good they are so a number 1 should beat a number 16 etc. My husband likes to take this opportunity to discuss upsets and the underdog. Last year my youngest picked every team based on numbers even 8 vs 9 she picked the 8. It was fun to see all of the upsets on her paper. This year at 8 and 5 the girls have done this enough times to see how it really works they would ask their Dad information about the teams and even what color do they wear to make their decisions. The brackets were filled in and we were ready to see who was going to win. The first night of games my oldest daughter got every pick right but one, my husband was floored. She ended the first round 24-8 an amazing showing. My youngest was frustrated… but my husband showed her that all of her final four picks were still in and that Miss Thing my oldest had lost some… there was still hope. Now that it is over I’m happy to declare that my youngest daughter won!!! She was beyond elated and it made for a great family experience. We hope that you do it next year… maybe I should start a pool for kids… not for money but just for fun

Fun stuff to do with your kids in the summer
I made a website when I was pregnant with my second daughter. It was about things to do where 
we use to live – it was called norristownmom.com. It was an annotated list of all the things to do in Southeastern PA with kids it had park maps, shows, library events, everything. It was a labor of love but it also made me a walking encyclopedia of what was going on when. We moved and I sold the website – it is now www.playgroundbuzz.com and it’s really awesome. The woman who took it over put a zip code feature in so you can see what is in your neighborhood.
Now I’m not so much in the know. But I’ve learned enough to set up a workable system to keep the midsumer blues at bay. So here are my tricks:
1.The girls and I always make a Summer Bucket list - We do this so that on the fly if we have nothing to do we can pick one and start planning on how to accomplish it. There are thousands… literally thousands of bucket lists out there. Here is ours (summerbucketlist ) and here is our summer activities list on Pinterest. Here is a link to pinterest boards just on bucket lists.
2.We also print out a blank calendar of June, July, and August and put down any visits or camps or VBSs.
3.So lets talk about VBSs. Vacation Bible School. It’s like camp but the kids learn about God, and well it’s awesome and free. We always go to our church’s VBS and then there is another one that is pretty much the coolest one ever, we go to that too… and sometimes we go to one more… okay that may sound a little ridiculous but we don’t usually send them to camp and it is only half day, or at night. Definitely go to a church you know or where someone you know goes, and try to send your kids with a friend.
4.Science in the summer – If you are lucky enough to be in the greater Philly, Pittsburg, or DC area then you can go to Science in the summer. It’s a one hour class every day for a week. The kids absolutely love it and they learn so much. Also it usually takes place in a library so it’s an opportunity to get out some books.
5.Libraries – Going to the library is easily our number 1 activity in the summer. Granted not every kid loves the library – but in the summer it is way more than just a library. We always join the summer reading program and then look at the library calendar for their weekly summer programs. Last year we saw an amazing science presentation at a library about 10 miles away, it was totally worth it!
6.Geocaching – This is so much fun and if you’ve never done it should definitely make it to your bucket list. If you have a smart phone they have a free app that makes it incredibly fun. You find the cache that you want to look for. The cache is usually a small container hidden in nature that has a log book and little treasures inside. So when you go out make sure you bring some trinkets (happy meal toys or little balls or packs of crayons) and you traded them for the ones in the cache.
7. Playgrounds – I love running and playing. My kids and I took a map of our area and started crossing off all the parks in our area. It was so much fun, and then we were keenly aware of where the cool parks were. Our personal favorites besides the two that are ridiculously huge, are the ones by libraries. We have two in our area which makes them awesome for a whole afternoon of activity. If you live in Southeastern PA check out this page. We keep a playground bag in our car – socks, sneakers, sunscreen, and nonperishable snacks. We also like to go hiking at one of the parks.
8. Nature Activities – Sometimes it is beautiful out – not too hot, just warm enough that you have to be outside. We love digging in the dirt, looking for bugs, and going through streams. Again there are lots of resources out there if you would like some ideas in this area. The key is to have your kids lead it, sometimes they could just sit for an hour or two or sometimes they are done in like 15 minutes… we go with the flow. Again if you have a smartphone there is a free app called Leaf Snap. You can use it to identify any leaves that you find – it isn’t always 100% reliable but the kids liked it.
9.Kids Bowl Free – Definitely sign your kids up for this. They get two free games a day for the whole summer. At our bowling Alley the kids get free shoes if it’s under size 1, so that means free all around… but ironically enough don’t go on a rainy day it is packed and it’s not really fun.
10. Schedule - This sounds silly but we have a summer schedule for days when we are just at home. Monday – cooking, Tuesday – science, Wednesday – sports, Thursday arts and crafts, and Friday is friends day. If we are going out or we are only out in the morning or just in the afternoon we do one of these activities the other part of the day. I print out about 10-15 of these activities and ideas for the subjects and then pick one to do.
11.Kindness & Giving Back – Summer can quickly become all about what are we doing – heck this post is all about “What are you going to do with your kids?” The girls and I really like to brain storm this. I start off with – Okay how can we help others? Kids can help out at a food bank, visiting a senior center, making a craft for neighbors, donate toys to GoodWill, do a walk for a cause, have a lemonade stand for Alex’s lemonade, have a bake sale for a local charity, clean up a local park, plant a tree, and so many more ideas. I love the Artist Helping Children Website (except for all of the ads). Last summer the girls and I had The Family Cafe. It was so much fun and we collected a car full of good for the local homeless shelter. I’ll have to write a post on it, but the way it worked was we invited all of our friends to come over and have lunch at our house, we made a menu and cooked the food and the girls were the waitresses (It was adorable to see the kids sitting at little tables on the deck). The kids paid for their lunches with items off of the wanted list for the local foodbank. The girls and I brought the items over to the food bank, which was also a huge blessing. You will be surprised at the great ideas your kids will have about how to help others - give them some guidance but go with it… even the crazy ideas. Letting them learn to love volunteering is definitely worth sometime. This is my Pinterest Kindness board to give you some ideas.
12. Projects - Projects are awesome and can take up lots of time as you plan, get the materials, build and actually use. This past summer we made a kid car wash (here is the pdf KidWash ) and an outside water bed. They were totally worth the time and we had about every kid in the neigborhood came over to try them out. You can see us building it in this post. And here are some pictures of the girls playing on the waterbed… note to all… if you are going to only make one of these the kidcarwash can be used year after year and is awesome. The waterbed can really only be used once and it’s annoying to make, but oh it was gloriously fun while we had it. You can check out directions here.
Here are some other great resources -
If you live in the Norrisotwn Area you have to check out the ACPPA – it is the most amazing community art center with the most reasonable prices.
Teachmama Smart Summer Challenge
Kindergarten Here I come - I actually have this whole calendar. It is an amazing resource for preschoolers, each month is full of fun, silly, and simple activities to do with your kids. It is a treasure trove of ideas. unfortunately it’s old so this is the only place I could find a digital copy. It also has kindergarten Here I AM which is great to have themed books for topics. You can do one topic a week.
100 Free things to do with your Grandkids - This is a great pdf with lots of little ideas to get you through those inside the house times.
Fake Letterpress
I belong to a card club. Not the kind where we play Bunko or Bridge but the kind where we make homemade cards together. There are nine of us and we each make 9 of the same card and then we give one to each other so that we have 9 different cards to use. It has saved me so much money in buying cards and it gives me a wonderfully creative outlet for a useful purpose. It doesn’t hurt that we were all in the Moms club together when our kids were babies and now that most of them are in school it gives us a good reason to still get together and talk and laugh. It is amazing to see the different ideas and techniques used. You can see some of our cards in the pictures below. Every now and then we have an original idea but most things have been inspired or directly copied from something we’ve seen on pinterest.
I copied the design from this awesome card maker and then I used this image for the envelope template and now I’m pretty sure I’m going to ask for that punch for my birthday… it is really the cutest. I got the digital paper for the inside of the envelope at Free digital scrapbooking paper . I had gotten some winter cards at Joanns on clearance so I picked some of the blue ones that didn’t have snowflakes on them. I went with a white envelope instead of the craft brown just because of the color palate and I nixed the ribbon – mostly because I was tired.
Here is a template of the envelopes. (envelope template)
But by far the coolest thing I learned by making this card is that you can print pretty easily on the premade cards you can buy at craft stores using Microsoft word. This is huge for me since I don’t have a lot of stamps so I’m stuck printing on cardstock and then cutting it out and pasting it on the cards… why didn’t I just think of printing right on the card? I found the tutorial on how to do this here.
A tiny donut box
My older daughter is almost 8 and this is her first year in a full day brick and mortar school because we were homeschooling. So the best thing happened… after all of the fears and worries of sending her off she got the best teacher ever… no for real – the best teacher! She is sweet and kind and loving, but also gets the kids to be respectful and somehow they come home loving every minunte.
he kids have worked all year putting marbles in a jar for good behavior (and losing them for poor choices) that they earned a marble party. They decided on a pajama movie breakfast party (I guess it was a compromise). My daughter volunteered us to make minidonuts! We have an adorable Wilton minidonut baking pan. But it makes 12 at a time! It takes for ever to finish because a regular batch of dough can make about 8 or 9 batches. We use this batter from Krissy’s Creations. It tastes great the first day, pretty good the second day, and well ehh on the third day – so be warned. We put the batter in a ziplock bag and cut off the edge so that we could fill the pan easily. They cooked up nice and easy – but waiting for 11 minutes to cook for each batch for 8 batches is a crazy time commitment! Then comes the fun part – the decorating. We use candy melts in different colors, melted Hershey Bliss on some, and a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk on some, and finally cinnamon sugar on the last batch. The cinnamon sugar was amazing and definitely tasted the best. You just melt butter and dip the donut in it and then dip in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Delicious! We also made the attempt to make some brownie donuts just using a brownie mix, but alas I couldn’t get them to come out cleanly. I searched pinterest for tips and was unsuccessful, I’d love to hear any ideas.
Because Miss Thing’s teacher is so wonderful I thought it would be fun to make her a little box of donuts just for her. This way she had a least 6 donuts that weren’t touched by the kids as they search for the ones they want. I made a little .pdf for you of this box layout.
Printable Minidonut box (holds 6 mini donuts) donutbox.
Here is what to do:
1. Print out the pdf onto cardstock, regular paper isn’t thick enough.
2.Cut slits down the sides of the orange. You can see below the cut out. You want to cut the pink side to half the width but keep the orange the full width because it is going to fold over.
3. Fold all the fold lines. Fold anywhere white and colored meet.
4. Then fold the white parts of the pink side into the orange and tape and then fold the left over orange over to cover it and tape.
Is this confusing? I can draw a picture if you need one – just let me know.
5. Do this to both sides.
6. Get a piece of plain card stock and do the same stuff to it. I trace around the top when it’s done and then make the inside rectangle a little smaller so the lid fits snug over the bottom.
So all you need is 2 pieces of cardstock, a printer, some tape and scissors… it really is easier than it sounds.
40 Days of Fitness – Day 38
Do your one thing! I now think after 38 days that I will continue to do push ups everyday. Maybe not 50 and maybe not always on my feet, but I have kind of grown fond of it. I hope it is true of the thing you are doing too.
Today’s Tip – Check out Live Better America - I have used their recipes so many times and they are easy to use. I just found out that they have a fitness section too. It’s definitely worth a look.
40 Days of Fitness – Day 37
Do your one thing!
Seriously ending strong is not my cup of tea. I am an ENFP in the Meyers Briggs personality test which means I’m all about the new thing but not great at following through! I’ve still been doing the minimum of the push ups but I’m not running as much as I use to and yesterday I didn’t do any exercise besides the push ups… alas… I will need a new goal to get excited about. I think I’m going to do Jillian Michael’s Ripped in 30. It’s short and I can do it everyday. I’ll keep you updated, but not daily after these 40 days.
So todays tip – Keep updating your goals. If you are like me and need a constant renewed push then keep it fresh. I love my daughters and husband dearly so including them is what helps me, but there will be something that will work for you as well. It could be a friend as accountability, a running date weekly, or trying to top your longest plank, a new race, or having needed alone time if you are an introvert with long walks. Try different things and then rotate what works. Being healthy is a life choice that you make daily and when you are starting to wane in your excitement, try something else.
