Carrie - You rock for posting those poms! I've been racking my brain trying to come up with something to put on the back of our chairs since we have a mirror behind us and well, it might be purdy in YOUR photographs to have SOMEthing behind us!! I just might try my hand at these... xx

Katie - Holy moly, now I want to craft all day tomorrow. Loved this post Jackie!

Kelly D. - I always luv the things you luv! Those juices are sooo good. My husband drinks them all before the kids can get any! And I'm hoping someone gets Alice in Wonderland for my daughter's birthday. One of my favorites!

Tara Wheaton - I have that book and LOVE it! My kids are too old for it now, but can't wait to share it with grandkids ;-) And that wrapping paper.. I want some! Again it was good seeing you on Wednesday and meeting your family! Can't wait to work with you in one way or another soon!

THINGS I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ THURSDAY! & PUSHING FORWARD

I’m back people!  So…without going down a long windy road of really bad story telling(because i leave the story-telling in this family up to Matt- I’m BAAD at it :), the last couple weeks have been pretty physically and emotionally draining.  Our family was rocked a bit, but we stayed on our feet and pushed...

Kelly D. - Great stuff Jackie! Hope you are all doing well.

Amanda Rae - What I want to know is how did your cousin get Alison Sudol to model for them?! I LOVE her soooo much!!!

Samantha - It's good to have you back Jackie! Always enjoy your posts. :) "Savior, He can move the mountains. Our God is Mighty to Save..." hope I got that song stuck in your head and it brings you that little bit of strength and peace that you might need. :)

THINGS I ♥ THURSDAY & MY GIRL

I’ve been on hiatus.  I’m not gonna lie: I’m tired and busy and I’m horrible at writing so the blog sometimes may become the poor beaten stepchild.  But hey, at least i try.  I know that some of you readers actually like this Thursday post(Which I’m pretty shocked by- seriously shocked) so i wanted to...

Harmony Loves - yum! The sesame honey cashews are to die for too!

Amanda - I LOVE CVS! It's my new favorite store! With all the extra bucks, it's like they pay you to shop there. Do you know to scan your card when you come in? They give you coupons and sometimes more extra bucks. It's like winning the lottery....you never know what your going to get, but your always a winner! I'm so addicted! :)

megan welker - yep! same printer :) love love love it! & your little one is the. cutest. !!

brooke bowland - i have nearly bought that white throw about 5 times! i just keep leaving it behind!? Emery is BEAUTIFUL! Gosh she is looking grown up...adorable.

Rachael Earl - She is TOO adorable! Oh, and I love CVS, too! They are the ONLY retailer to carry my Veryfine Cranberry Apple juice :)

aunt b - so funny you got that white throw. i have it and so does trish. great minds...

megan - How have I missed those almonds at TJ's?? Thanks for the heads up! And Emery is just the cutest...love her dress! :)

THINGS I ♥ THURSDAY

I ♥ Homemade iced coffee drinks.  Over the past few months, Matt and i have started to have less and less time to finish our coffee in the morning.  So, our solution has been to stick it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and at night pour it on ice and it’s so good! ...

Matt - wow...so get this...the other night I was on facebook, listening to Discovery, and drinking my iced (leftover) coffee. I have a daughter named Emery who loves ice cream and a wife who does photography that showed me a video online by stillmotion...it's a small world after all.

Samantha - OOoooo I love me some Facebook too! :) So addicting and oh so much fun seeing family in another state and old high school friends all grown up! Right there with you Jackie!
