At the feet of Jesus

At His feet I sit and wait.
For only good does He create.
My eyes transfixed upon His face,
As I rest inside His warm embrace.

The world tells me I have no worth,
That I'm an accident, not made with earth.

But this I know to be true.
My God created me and you.

At his feet I sit and wait,
To love my brothers instead of hate.
My hope set firm upon the Rock,
To teach the sheep and guard the flock.

For without love I am a gong,
Ringing for no reason, the whole night long.

But this I know to be true.
That without Him love cannot accrue.

At His feet I sit and wait,
For He alone will make my path straight.
My life I've thrown down at His feet.
My will now tuned to His heartbeat.

This life we live can be so hard,
Can leave us wounded, shattered and scared.

But this I know to be true,
With the love of Jesus we live life a new!

Baby's Jungle/Forest Room

Baby's Jungle/Forest Room!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Silas's Room :) We already had the room painted green so we just needed to add the accent walls. We had to re-shade the green because it wasn't the bright color that we wanted at first. We also found the perfect rug from Ross. My husband said he didn't want the room to be too "babyish" and this rug is AWESOME. We could use it anywhere in the house if Silas wants to change his room when he's older. Finally we added the tree and other details by using fabric, corn starch and water. All you have to do is paint it on and put it on the wall! I found the instructions here at this blog: http://www.deliacreates.com/?br=http://deliacreates.blogspot.com/

The Finished Room! :)  

Homemade Onesies

Homemade Onesies

So here are some SUPER easy yet, CUTE way to make personalized Onesies for the little baby in you life. 

What you need:

Print out of what you want on the onesie

Clip Board

Tape

Onesie

Sharpie

Puffy Paint/ acrylic paint (optional- What I used for the guitar onesie)

I gave this to my husband at our co-ed baby shower. 

This quickly became my favorite onesie!

Personalized Onesie for my son, we picked his name because it's biblical but also because of the meaning. We live in the forest so it's PERFECT!

To make this Onesie, I put cardboard inside the onesie (a clipboard would work well too) I then drew on the guitar with a pencil and filled it in with puffy paint. DONE

I just put what I wanted the onesie to say on word and printed it off

To make the daddy and Silas Onesie:

1. Put the clipboard inside of the onesie.
2. Tape the printed out piece of paper inside of the onesie where you want the writing to be
3. Trace the pattern from the paper with sharpies (you should be able to see the design coming through the Onesie because the Onesie is pulled by the clipboard
4. DONE

Pinterest Party

PINTEREST PARTY

SO life has been crazy lately!! Since my last post I've had a baby, two surgeries, found a new church home, watched my baby turn into a 9 month old, and SO much more!!

I had this party a while ago, but still wanted to share with everyone. It was a big success and so much fun! 

 I asked everyone to bring a "pinterest" inspired goodie to share. It was so much fun to see what everyone decided to bring for their food. LOVED having a reason to make some of the food I've had pinned for a long time. 

I also had tons of Mason Jars that were left over form my Wedding to use. We made chalkboard paint, t-shirt scarves, "pallet" coasters, and t-shirt head bands. Some of them were "fails" but it was still a lot of fun to hang out with all my friends and have fun being creative together!

P.S. Don't mind my HUGE prego swollen feet... :) I made these sandals out of t-shirts so that they could stretch with my feet! They worked out great. 

 

Wild West Scavenger Hunt

For those of you who don't know, my husband and I love to send each other on scavenger hunts! He even sent me on one in order to propose, ending with him and the ring... SO CUTE! Anyways our latest adventure was a Wild West themed hunt. I thought I'd share with you guys in case any of you need inspiration to create your very own scavenger hunt.

1. I woke him up with the first clue: (p.s. Bad Man Dan is our villain that shows up time and again)

2. The next clue was hidden inside of a bucket full of sand and gold pieces. 

3. Once he found all of the gold and got the clue he was led to the driveway where the "Saloon" was set up.

4. In order for him to get his next clue he had to spit sunflower seeds into a "spittoon". This proved harder than I thought it would be and apparently made him really thirsty which I didn't think about either. If i were to do it again I'd use a bucket instead, something with a bigger opening. But since my hubby is a good sport he didn't give up, I just had him stop moving farther away from the thing and started handing him more than one piece of the clue at a time. He did awesome though!!! 

5. The next clue was two in one. On one side it had a picture leading to where the next clue would be, and on the other side it informed him to stop by the general store before heading out on his next quest. The general store was my favorite part because I could join in and be the clerk. He also had to decide what things he would NEED for the journey. He ended up having to return a few items because he ran out of money.

6. After the store he started to wake up and really get into it!! So he went into our room and changed into some "western" clothes! 

7. The picture then lead us to the paintball course below our house. With his pellet guns in hand riding his blue pool noodle horse he bought from the general store we made it to a train crossing sign. 

8. After jumping on the train he had to crack the safe. In the safe he found wanted posters and a letter from "bad man dan"

9. For his last challenge he had to go to the paintball course and find all of the "outlaws" and take them down. (We don't condone shooting people and if this would have been for our son we would have done something more along the lines of "bad man dan" let all the cattle loose and he had to now go wrangle them up)

10. Once he had found all the "outlaws" I handed him this last piece of paper...

All-in-all it was a great time!!! Can't wait for the next scavenger hunt!
