What a great way to start out the new week.... Good news!
Our friend, Dallyn, who had open heart surgery just last Wednesday, is home (early) and doing amazingly well!!! His mom Shellie said he loved the blanket in the hospital, and now that he's home, he has been enjoying the music and books. Thank you, thank you for everyone's thoughts, prayers, and gifts sent for Dallyn and Shellie.
Wow. Doesn't that just put a big smile on your face? I know it does for me!
If you need another reason to smile, and you missed this week's kidz feature, go meet Mercede and Cheyenne.... they and their mom will teach you to live, love and laugh!
I could end the post there, and I'm sure you would all feel fulfilled, but I wanted to share this fabulous idea to do with your children while it's still the beginning of a new year....
Blissfully Domestic suggests doing an interview with your children at the beginning of each year. Type up the questions and answers, and leave a place for the child to draw a self-portrait. The interviews can be kept in their own binder, or an addition to a scrapbook. It will be fun to remember what mattered to your child at different ages, and see how that changes through the years!Their list of questions for the interview includes....
Favorites:
cereal
vegetable
drink
toy
TV Show

If you could change your name, what would you choose?
What do you love about each person in our family?
Where would you like to go on vacation this year?
What are some of your wishes for this year?
Oh, I just think this is such a simple, easy and great idea! Enjoy doing this with the kiddos starting this year!
I just wanted to remind you that the kick-off party will be here before we know it. There will be three grand prizes (and boy oh boy are they grand)! There will also be daily giveaways. I would like the daily giveaways to be something handmade, to support the many mom-preneurs out there. I'm eyeing a few things on etsy, but I wanted to ask everyone's opinions. Do you have a suggestion for the daily handmade giveaway (under $40)? Let me know if there is an on-line boutique or etsy vendor you'd like me to consider.

Little window shoppe on the SITS blog has a bunch of really neat little shops on there.
So happy that the surgery went well.
The interview idea is great! I will try that this weekend with my children.
I was going to say a tutu for the giveaway, but that would be excluding the little boys. I really don't know.
I have some bloggy love for you!

Yay for Dallyn and Shellie!! There is cute stuff on daydreamsndaisies.blogspot.com it's custom vinyl stuff, not sure on pricing. Liseanne Chapman has a blog called sawdustsanity.blogspot.com and she makes darling wood crafts at really good prices, just a couple of thoughts!
We would do things like that each year to put in our scrapbook. I'll have to ask mom about mine someday...I'd love to see what I said!
