Sending Some Valentines Love!

We have been trying to find time the last few days to make valentines cards to send to our ‘boys’. In between getting sick and having extra kids in the house, it has been a little difficult. However, yesterday I enlisted the help of the kindergarten girl that I baby sit and we finished everything up!

We made them some cards and decorated some brown paper bags, which we put some goodies into. We put in some extra valentines to give to their friends, some stickers, and to my older boys I put in some basketball trading cards as well. I also, wrote a short letter briefly describing what valentines day is and why we celebrate it. I put this verse in my note as well : 1 John 4:7 “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.”

They won’t get these letters before Valentines day, but hopefully close to it!

Have you sent some Valentines things to your sponsor child? What kinds of things did you send?

Have a great day!

Thanks Jill! We sure had a fun time making them! It has been years since I made my own Valentines. It was good to get 'crafty' again!

Photo post

So, I was gonna write a nice long post today, but then I remembered that I had a bunch of cute pictures in my camera just waiting to be displayed.

My Mid-Life Crisis?

This has been a very difficult year for me. I turned 35 this year and I feel like I'm in the middle of a mid-life crisis. I have been trying to 'find' myself again. For the last 12 years I have pretty much had things figured out but this year when my youngest started grade 2, it felt like my whole life tipped over. Now, there wasn't any outward tragedy that I went through, no, it was more of an emotional, internal struggle that has been taking place. Realizing that my family doesn't need me the same way, but they still need me. Having a lot more free time and not knowing how to fill it, actually, to say that I didn't want to do my domestic chores to fill my time would be more accurate. So many decisions were suddenly available to me, decisions I hadn't considered in years. "Do I get a job? Full or part time? What kind of job? Do I go to school - just take some courses or get a degree? What kind of courses/degree? Do we have the money for me to go t...
