"Mama, pray."

"Mama, pray."

I’ve been praying with Em as I put her to bed at night, thanking God for giving us this baby girl to raise for Him and asking Him to fill her dreams with joy and peace and instill a deep love for Him in her heart.When she has nightmares I’ve been comforting her by praying for His peace to surround her and for Him to show her his love. And tonight, Emma Grace has a fever. She was murmuring in…

"I LOVE YOU"

"I LOVE YOU"

(I snagged the above screen shot from it – if you click on it, you can see the entire email) – Even more fun: I keep getting busier and busier! which means more money for projects that have been needing to get done around the house (yay!) but also means that…

Angel Cakes

Angel Cakes

Angel Cakes in San Francisco bought some of the cupcake toppers and now they’re including them in their Valentine’s special! If you live in the San Francisco bay area and are looking for a new cupcakery, Angel Cakes looks pretty wonderful – I wish I lived close enough to visit (or that they delivered to Indiana – that would be nice, too)!
