  2. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  3. A quick photo list of what has kept me busy this winter:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  4. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  5. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  10. &lt;br /&gt;
  11. My wonky ornament wreath. It&#39;s my first one though, and I love it!&lt;br /&gt;
  12. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

  14. &lt;br /&gt;
  15. Not very successful ornament monogram. Not too pretty, but it filled an empty wall and gave me a focal point to pin Christmas cards around. :-)&lt;br /&gt;
  16. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  17. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwXljgnpIbw6MwJ3GpmscRiIQeSw3ZW_SHMhpYHl6VQy8zdoCuFXhLRvDfUe_GT3m9vD4u0lYXwQGx6G6iQYHfNaP_wqW_PQK29lN1qrdDm3VIc8MOTKRHeVzSvCghqAiKrGX66l_6PJo/s1600/007.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwXljgnpIbw6MwJ3GpmscRiIQeSw3ZW_SHMhpYHl6VQy8zdoCuFXhLRvDfUe_GT3m9vD4u0lYXwQGx6G6iQYHfNaP_wqW_PQK29lN1qrdDm3VIc8MOTKRHeVzSvCghqAiKrGX66l_6PJo/s320/007.JPG&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  18. &lt;br /&gt;
  19. A failed attempt at making homemade ginger beer. You know, like root beer, only ginger. Too bad. I&#39;d love to try it again sometime. The fermentation was so tricky!&lt;br /&gt;
  20. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  21. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPvSMJVwlFNF8nVUpQG__OwgFxy2AYI9SqTorSFQdL9E-_yqmuIwx_9MXT_Z2k7BE7v1g2b62-NeGzBeC-74k4vAYoxvSj4NOcU0df-yWefjMlQIoOsJSecVzNRyNRCcQFegWmxkrRaro/s1600/009.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPvSMJVwlFNF8nVUpQG__OwgFxy2AYI9SqTorSFQdL9E-_yqmuIwx_9MXT_Z2k7BE7v1g2b62-NeGzBeC-74k4vAYoxvSj4NOcU0df-yWefjMlQIoOsJSecVzNRyNRCcQFegWmxkrRaro/s320/009.JPG&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  22. &lt;br /&gt;
  23. I made 10 pounds of kimchi that lasted me 7 months! I&#39;ve just run out and am missing the taste at meal time, so I think it&#39;s nearly time to make more yummy pickled veggies.&lt;br /&gt;
  24. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  25. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5BJBOSsvlU2rRBogpsXNR39WvCFFQLlnNQ5XxPiYeWRWQ0F27Akgxm_g9fMLtxVED6vxkTxo-uLxWvVAnWOutfUyqSWtPrfZ6K8JTpn6Y7ualgDjlZhkhhpf6yvT50Lw2zJ7VeeDJHsw/s1600/021.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5BJBOSsvlU2rRBogpsXNR39WvCFFQLlnNQ5XxPiYeWRWQ0F27Akgxm_g9fMLtxVED6vxkTxo-uLxWvVAnWOutfUyqSWtPrfZ6K8JTpn6Y7ualgDjlZhkhhpf6yvT50Lw2zJ7VeeDJHsw/s320/021.JPG&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  26. &lt;br /&gt;
  27. Homemade organic apple cider vinegar. My first attempt grew mold but my second batch pulled through! I am over the moon that it worked. And it packs a stronger punch than any store bought ACV I&#39;ve ever had. I&#39;m relieved that we can make it with the cores and peels left over from making apple sauce because ACV is used nearly every day in our home and we go through it so quickly and it&#39;s so expensive that it just isn&#39;t practical unless we make it.&lt;br /&gt;
  28. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  29. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVOkySRVFbUSTcoHn1KhTvwpt9_csQWLcqgz_K6JjmXhew4_PwcCXmgECbs6DGkoVovmVTm8GcLozUxqXEP4rfj2fEF0bLNAg5de70WnXjiZieEL3SItn11Jr7azKxWwRey0bOZdpLiZY/s1600/023.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVOkySRVFbUSTcoHn1KhTvwpt9_csQWLcqgz_K6JjmXhew4_PwcCXmgECbs6DGkoVovmVTm8GcLozUxqXEP4rfj2fEF0bLNAg5de70WnXjiZieEL3SItn11Jr7azKxWwRey0bOZdpLiZY/s320/023.JPG&quot; width=&quot;239&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  30. &lt;br /&gt;
  31. Wire hangers + needle nose pliers = extra shoe storage! And I know those flip flops say Vera Wang, but don&#39;t sniff at my hypocrisy. I got them on super clearance for $2 and I love them! Too bad designer togs don&#39;t go on super clearance nearly enough.&lt;br /&gt;
  32. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  33. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH75kFYc3XXMNYMBK-FhyphenhyphenOvxkdC2fs391zArLPkCE9scQ_pQL3TDjkFLzMkNSEsQKG-GrWrZm8xZdXD8qU0H2SBVRaR6SgdTjMK_3ceJScLI2PkHZyQNSAtHS4I04qBImkuFzW82X9Tes/s1600/019.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH75kFYc3XXMNYMBK-FhyphenhyphenOvxkdC2fs391zArLPkCE9scQ_pQL3TDjkFLzMkNSEsQKG-GrWrZm8xZdXD8qU0H2SBVRaR6SgdTjMK_3ceJScLI2PkHZyQNSAtHS4I04qBImkuFzW82X9Tes/s320/019.JPG&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  34. &lt;br /&gt;
  35. Marbled peppermint bark.&lt;br /&gt;
  36. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  37. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUQ91Yb5qpsuKfOu9vSvkfwQ6GDWe0evTjm8JzYHgzJ8Lzd4BZCu5jDlIKm0-kuD3zUMSJmyeH_y47IdJFQg_Eg3bCs5wKHNONzGSnonI2DF32LysuPm7yTS6ozk5mv2X7lYTnMKG15vE/s1600/106.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUQ91Yb5qpsuKfOu9vSvkfwQ6GDWe0evTjm8JzYHgzJ8Lzd4BZCu5jDlIKm0-kuD3zUMSJmyeH_y47IdJFQg_Eg3bCs5wKHNONzGSnonI2DF32LysuPm7yTS6ozk5mv2X7lYTnMKG15vE/s320/106.JPG&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  38. &lt;br /&gt;
  39. Chocolate covered ritz crackers. The chocolate was flavored with peppermint flavoring and crushed peppermint hard candy was sprinkled over the top. A favorite Christmas treat that I learned how to make from my SIL. These are addicting!&lt;br /&gt;
  40. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  41. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsYc7XuEC0zmoVOa8WPy3nRW8Xn4Pp4yAbyegr_SP3NLNYl7SYPE7aWcRcFhk_tgtRGL5l0_EjmsIW5UZuCEOeJhgjxuTLw95DpdJDklrmnmYOK_R26XfYbSZy-0K8CSDOxLL8JM-IPG0/s1600/102.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsYc7XuEC0zmoVOa8WPy3nRW8Xn4Pp4yAbyegr_SP3NLNYl7SYPE7aWcRcFhk_tgtRGL5l0_EjmsIW5UZuCEOeJhgjxuTLw95DpdJDklrmnmYOK_R26XfYbSZy-0K8CSDOxLL8JM-IPG0/s320/102.JPG&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  42. &lt;br /&gt;
  43. Door sign for boys&#39; bedroom. Using pre-cut and painted wooden rescue vehicles from HobLob. The plaque is from Hobby Lobby as well. Add in some leftover paint and letter stencils and we have a sign that little heroes love.&lt;br /&gt;
  44. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  45. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhykXK5AvHjR-ECo9CedJ0BeeQaDWquSequyp6nqPwoTMOz3DUvV0hnfiDaActkZ0awrOoZuIdOSISCrctTf_cU7k8he2mfcmgmtbbmj3ZtYB_WLY-HYR48E1cTOeMjeYLZa4MtdbHgIb0/s1600/171.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhykXK5AvHjR-ECo9CedJ0BeeQaDWquSequyp6nqPwoTMOz3DUvV0hnfiDaActkZ0awrOoZuIdOSISCrctTf_cU7k8he2mfcmgmtbbmj3ZtYB_WLY-HYR48E1cTOeMjeYLZa4MtdbHgIb0/s320/171.JPG&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  46. &lt;br /&gt;
  47. Little play outdoor shaded play area. Reusing a canopy from a broken tent and a kiddie pool that goes unused in the cold months created a shady cozy spot that the boys love to relax in with blankets, stuffed toys and books.&lt;br /&gt;
  48. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

  55. I love it. The tags &amp; seams are a little crooked, but for a first attempt, I&#39;m extremely pleased with it, even though Little Man looked at it for all of 3 seconds before zooming off to find something more exciting. :)&lt;br /&gt;

We happened to have an old net laundry bag that would be perfect, but it&#39;s been missing it&#39;s drawstring for years. A spool of heavy duty string from the hardware department provided a new drawstring &amp; now Baby Boy has an easy way to tote his blocks from room to room. :)&lt;br /&gt;
  59. Using 9 strands of string (cut to the desired length) separated into 3 sections, the string was braided and tied off at the ends.

Yes, at HOME. I know I seem very cheap sometimes, but this is not all about the money. I got so tired of going to a professional salon and telling the stylist exactly what I wanted (A trim. Keep the length and add layers everywhere with lots of layers framing my face from the chin up) and leaving a little less richer and with LOTS less hair! They would always chop off at least 4 inches from the bottom and I would leave unhappy. Well, several years ago I searched online for an at home alternative. I can&#39;t find that original video, but the one below is exactly how I cut my own layers. I don&#39;t do the really short layers and bangs near the face, but I do everything else, including cutting upwards on the pieces of hair combed forward from the crown of the head.&lt;br /&gt;
  90. &lt;br /&gt;
  91. Every now and then I break down and get a professional cut, but I always come home disappointed. So I vow to keep doing it myself... until the next time I&#39;m sucked in by a great deal.&lt;br /&gt;
  92. &lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;349&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/Pyo7DXKT3lg?rel=0&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; width=&quot;425&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  93. So give it a try if you dare :) I&#39;m definitely happier with my hair when I cut it at home!&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beautyandinspirationblog.blogspot.com/feeds/7238270309579890115/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://beautyandinspirationblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/spa-night-how-i-cut-my-hair.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/530519585178023300/posts/default/7238270309579890115'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/530519585178023300/posts/default/7238270309579890115'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beautyandinspirationblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/spa-night-how-i-cut-my-hair.html' title='Spa Night: How I Cut My Hair'/><author><name>Driftwood Girl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05910812099770116766</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/Pyo7DXKT3lg/default.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530519585178023300.post-2900455991689954740</id><published>2011-04-07T11:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-07T11:43:09.595-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Peaceful Space"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="recipe"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Spa Night"/><title type='text'>Chocolate Biscotti</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;I made chocolate biscotti for the first time last week.

Yum.&lt;br /&gt;
  101. &lt;br /&gt;
  102. Today I&#39;m out on the balcony potting plants in the gorgeous warm weather. It&#39;s about time Spring decided to stick around and Baby Boy and I are loving being outside! We spend lots of time out there during the warm months. With the typical apartment lack of a yard, it&#39;s the perfect relaxing spot for me and play space for Baby Boy.&lt;br /&gt;
  103. &lt;br /&gt;
  104. I&#39;ll be taking some time to work on my hair (still haven&#39;t dyed it yet...procrastinator) and hopefully get a foot soak in this evening. Hope you choose to pamper yourself a little today... You deserve some guilt free relaxation. Happy Spa Night, Beauties!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beautyandinspirationblog.blogspot.com/feeds/2900455991689954740/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://beautyandinspirationblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/chocolate-biscotti.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/530519585178023300/posts/default/2900455991689954740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/530519585178023300/posts/default/2900455991689954740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beautyandinspirationblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/chocolate-biscotti.html' title='Chocolate Biscotti'/><author><name>Driftwood Girl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05910812099770116766</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHyreDZXbY1ucXdxLaGyPjTFAXugFOkDigudHOR-C5qfZO7gA2kW9bDemJJizEYkFp4cjThlIi3jjbcyaaC2FrDacT6ZxlAZLG1DDPe7pGIjriZFR_l3z7ZhvD4tjnK9Nm4qDJK-qQrgg/s72-c/065.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530519585178023300.post-4476985893077072913</id><published>2011-04-02T12:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-02T12:58:11.771-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Crafts"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="homemade"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="project"/><title type='text'>Homemade Interchangeable Flipflop Bling</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;So the other day I was in a boutique and saw a thing called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lindsay-phillips.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Switchflops&lt;/a&gt;, which are basically flip flops that have a metal snap where you can place decorative flowers or faux jewels on your flip flops depending on your outfit. Well, I thought I just had to have some, but wasn&#39;t going to pay $20 and up for them. I&#39;ve racked my brain until I came up with a homemade solution and now I cannot wait until the warm weather sticks around so I can show them off! Also, I&#39;ve got visions of flip flop bling made out of fashion jewelry... but I&#39;m getting ahead of myself.&lt;br /&gt;
  105. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  106. If you&#39;ve already done this for yourself, my cheap creative heart salutes you. And why didn&#39;t you tell me???&lt;br /&gt;
  107. ;-) Here you go homemade divas. Enjoy the endless possibilities to prettify your flip flops and show off your pedicure this spring and summer!&lt;br /&gt;
  108. &lt;br /&gt;
  109. &lt;br /&gt;
  110. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;Here&#39;s the type of glue I use for all my projects. It&#39;s amazing! Once it dries it&#39;s permanent, waterproof but flexible. Perfect for hair or flipflop bling :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG7tiBxQhV8h6Cc3zT5aMW83H5m4zgUOtB7MBsyAk-0xpx81EY2dFpTDlE5fiu4ZRzB1sJXDeP5gw9ZBpei_qpF8nPfeF65TjtO9OGQeocEkjJaK5F8q_x0LyKV8CbhwUhEWiiFBaF2hM/s1600/glue.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG7tiBxQhV8h6Cc3zT5aMW83H5m4zgUOtB7MBsyAk-0xpx81EY2dFpTDlE5fiu4ZRzB1sJXDeP5gw9ZBpei_qpF8nPfeF65TjtO9OGQeocEkjJaK5F8q_x0LyKV8CbhwUhEWiiFBaF2hM/s320/glue.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: move;&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  111. &lt;br /&gt;
  112. I started out with 2 pairs of plain flip flops. They&#39;re on sale everywhere! Big Lots has them for $2 a pair and Old Navy is selling tons of colors and sizes for $2.50 a pair if you buy 2. I can&#39;t get them at WalMart because I have a latex allergy and theirs always seem to make me break out in hives, but anyway.....&lt;br /&gt;
  113. &lt;br /&gt;
  114. Place a line of glue on the underside of the straps in this area.&lt;br /&gt;
  115. Let the glue cure for 1 or 2 minutes until it becomes tacky.&lt;br /&gt;
  116. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWyHgJOGCcic5AsduKOZdTHOt8cSctjVXmuMmITueMvqSxceGBmh0FbHzZ9THwOoiBhjOV1QA9GKWrdv2uj5F-mdPTWp3TFPy0K2sknAv0zEfv8gAkuiT6DzodwPNlYuUXIHJZcTlxP1g/s1600/022.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWyHgJOGCcic5AsduKOZdTHOt8cSctjVXmuMmITueMvqSxceGBmh0FbHzZ9THwOoiBhjOV1QA9GKWrdv2uj5F-mdPTWp3TFPy0K2sknAv0zEfv8gAkuiT6DzodwPNlYuUXIHJZcTlxP1g/s400/022.JPG&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  117. Measure and cut a 2 1/2 piece of ribbon. This will work for larger feet which I *ahem* have. You can measure and figure out what length you need once you see what it&#39;s for.&lt;br /&gt;
  118. You&#39;ll need 2 precut pieces of ribbon for each flip flop.&lt;br /&gt;
  119. So I cut 8 for my two pairs of flip flops.&lt;br /&gt;
  120. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipajEp8a9ZI6JYk5g0h-Jhn2QwlYg3cqRh0mjMsq1_Qd6jRLPd4Qr6qUpGZ_FDA7x1HUMgfd9rX_jIKW-n7zpogzaTYwpfEpI_ppQpFV4-_DvXfhwtwKWESGvLphjOg35TWRTe-bT16E4/s1600/024.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipajEp8a9ZI6JYk5g0h-Jhn2QwlYg3cqRh0mjMsq1_Qd6jRLPd4Qr6qUpGZ_FDA7x1HUMgfd9rX_jIKW-n7zpogzaTYwpfEpI_ppQpFV4-_DvXfhwtwKWESGvLphjOg35TWRTe-bT16E4/s400/024.JPG&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  121. Place one piece of ribbon on the underside. Be sure only half the ribbon is glued to the underside. The other half will need to wrap over to the top.&lt;br /&gt;
  122. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlCaZD5Hj2P0sUc6u1cyXkkpDUZvlW5L0pIO9LQvvqmbzYAuILuthxonzP258a2m0cb_PZFk51rqxCbo2_aK7gCfzHuZWcKwWDR_XifbWH-ZhwoOYL2d2bN7CsO9tNAU4vldSwuYjPES8/s1600/026.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;223&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlCaZD5Hj2P0sUc6u1cyXkkpDUZvlW5L0pIO9LQvvqmbzYAuILuthxonzP258a2m0cb_PZFk51rqxCbo2_aK7gCfzHuZWcKwWDR_XifbWH-ZhwoOYL2d2bN7CsO9tNAU4vldSwuYjPES8/s400/026.JPG&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  123. Here&#39;s how it should look from the top after you apply the ribbon to the glue underneath.&lt;br /&gt;
  124. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2wyptJh4V2ew9Hr8ANV3YC8Q3q9_aJKRDA68flFAyyq5epjcTz16hFkoadOUAcRPzuOFHh-CMp_k_toxzYaQzdRQQkvKzMDGVQqGos1fkes4XHPrqWVD76G7uAaAceLwftZz3ulnFBEw/s1600/025.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;223&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2wyptJh4V2ew9Hr8ANV3YC8Q3q9_aJKRDA68flFAyyq5epjcTz16hFkoadOUAcRPzuOFHh-CMp_k_toxzYaQzdRQQkvKzMDGVQqGos1fkes4XHPrqWVD76G7uAaAceLwftZz3ulnFBEw/s400/025.JPG&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  125. Place a dab of glue on the end of the ribbon...&lt;br /&gt;
  126. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitvg-K8bcioRxjRUR5yW1HpnVM7xOGkQFQSvRLqzSb7Ag6gdz2hv-45bR_AuLecYLxRcjhE2f7cG6iJJ-P1POJ0s7W71Nfl-bKvr_jvuUg0hFZvSlQ5whLOJxKcv39sL0IH7TXzizDSHA/s1600/027.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;223&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitvg-K8bcioRxjRUR5yW1HpnVM7xOGkQFQSvRLqzSb7Ag6gdz2hv-45bR_AuLecYLxRcjhE2f7cG6iJJ-P1POJ0s7W71Nfl-bKvr_jvuUg0hFZvSlQ5whLOJxKcv39sL0IH7TXzizDSHA/s400/027.JPG&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  127. And fold it over the top. Press firmly into place. Repeat on other side so ribbons overlap each other.&lt;br /&gt;
  128. You&#39;ll have a ribbon X with ends glued down and no glue in the center. We need the top center to stay glue free so you can add your bling.&lt;br /&gt;
  129. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgib7rzlbCgxTdsMmmKLU-89fgGdzGpt8tLgVEc3faYW38NyNS9bHZmR0W5FHnmXQiNsxE-NgDyE-6kc10ppXeajTR3XIAZjY3yGlzZGyXQoV7Hf5iA0-BP5dcCPLTRHj7YQDEmDTVTJ4I/s1600/028.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;223&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgib7rzlbCgxTdsMmmKLU-89fgGdzGpt8tLgVEc3faYW38NyNS9bHZmR0W5FHnmXQiNsxE-NgDyE-6kc10ppXeajTR3XIAZjY3yGlzZGyXQoV7Hf5iA0-BP5dcCPLTRHj7YQDEmDTVTJ4I/s400/028.JPG&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  130. Clamp into place with clothespins or whatever you have. I used alligator hair clips because I have a ton.&lt;br /&gt;
  131. Let cure for 24 hours for best results and then remove clamps.&lt;br /&gt;

  133. I made a few 2 inch flowers to personalize my flip flops. They&#39;re attached to alligator clips. I&#39;d like to find smaller clips than these next time, but it&#39;s what I had.&lt;br /&gt;

Or I used to. Now I love the idea of them and daydream about those good old days when I used to wear them. Here&#39;s a quick history about me and falsies.&lt;br /&gt;
  149. &lt;br /&gt;
  150. No falsies, Baby Boy was 3 months old.&lt;br /&gt;
  151. &lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgea1wwiOG3iVHRxa6L0iNg4Qye8S77HukwFoaIvx-9nJIniGq4Qrw2ZzvhzYb_jtms0yehZqn_gKHXXJxLZy2KMkIAk5yUYpDE8K2WGYIPa08onPXF0suLcFHSn1Dgvtgrv3nCWPrOpRI/s1600/no+false+lashes.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;297&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgea1wwiOG3iVHRxa6L0iNg4Qye8S77HukwFoaIvx-9nJIniGq4Qrw2ZzvhzYb_jtms0yehZqn_gKHXXJxLZy2KMkIAk5yUYpDE8K2WGYIPa08onPXF0suLcFHSn1Dgvtgrv3nCWPrOpRI/s400/no+false+lashes.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  152. Me lately looking at my funny boy in the mirror. No falsies. I miss &#39;em!&lt;br /&gt;
  153. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPbuGKOUG2qK0TC1CtNGuFqtRUvr7aT8dy2p-jqWbDvXIc-1SnZOEDGvxL6qacKpO78-62WyEyK0dn209jPwfGHteHncxXwkUmvKV_8se5BhJ5PbxpO8DycDC_0NQN2-ghYypA1HSVZxQ/s1600/008.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;223&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPbuGKOUG2qK0TC1CtNGuFqtRUvr7aT8dy2p-jqWbDvXIc-1SnZOEDGvxL6qacKpO78-62WyEyK0dn209jPwfGHteHncxXwkUmvKV_8se5BhJ5PbxpO8DycDC_0NQN2-ghYypA1HSVZxQ/s400/008.JPG&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  154. The following photos are all of me wearing natural looking false lashes. I worked very hard (trimming, careful application, etc) to make it look inconspicuous and eventually wore them almost every day because with all that practice, it took me no time at all to apply them. I wanted to wear them for Hubby and my anniversary dinner last year and was frustrated to find that I&#39;d lost the knack! Well, after over 2 years of not wearing them, I guess that&#39;s normal. My girly heart was sad, though. Anyway, here&#39;s a short collection of some falsie pics. And it&#39;s no coincidence that they are all pre-baby :)&lt;br /&gt;
  155. &lt;br /&gt;
  156. Wedding day. I was absolutely wearing them that day! Here I have a mix of soft black and brown lashes with a sheer golden shadow on my eyes. I was really happy with how the brown lashes and gold shadow made my baby browns pop. Plus, we had a great photographer who I&#39;m sure helped me along in the editing department *wink*&lt;br /&gt;

  158. Married nearly a year. Very subtle top lash falsies in black.&lt;br /&gt;
  159. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7x3HhpnM5Tub5uRw2-5VI4Gx1JlOgucbefAwvwiQqJeXIPn5pL-dbepW6ZnyOJTvjhkyUN2ejXhcs5RnA35Y_wUb9qv4JS0KSpZuwt0uAWqJtCvP0Nkb5c_dwtHBzKaNu8Fk7Uma19bw/s1600/very+natural+top+false+lashes.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;297&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7x3HhpnM5Tub5uRw2-5VI4Gx1JlOgucbefAwvwiQqJeXIPn5pL-dbepW6ZnyOJTvjhkyUN2ejXhcs5RnA35Y_wUb9qv4JS0KSpZuwt0uAWqJtCvP0Nkb5c_dwtHBzKaNu8Fk7Uma19bw/s400/very+natural+top+false+lashes.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  160. Pregnant with Baby Boy! Black falsies on the outer corners of my top lids.&lt;br /&gt;
  161. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDeA-dHSe-0NB35BN6S3lCFphVjLIZcH17sqeZP1M4z6BVMJjXaL0Vzp5PsZwJM6uNWn_fk4kuwvi7nGnqiy8Qr9JENO2e7t_U-03DHkH6pevrzadIYTD5BVnHSXLQEgL1iHbf7HbWEyQ/s1600/outer+corner+false+lashes.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;297&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDeA-dHSe-0NB35BN6S3lCFphVjLIZcH17sqeZP1M4z6BVMJjXaL0Vzp5PsZwJM6uNWn_fk4kuwvi7nGnqiy8Qr9JENO2e7t_U-03DHkH6pevrzadIYTD5BVnHSXLQEgL1iHbf7HbWEyQ/s400/outer+corner+false+lashes.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  162. 7 months pregnant with Baby Boy. Black falsies on my lower lids. They don&#39;t just belong on the top! I loved changing it up with wearing some only on the bottom lid sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;
  163. I&#39;m with my niece Dianna. Isn&#39;t she beautiful?&lt;br /&gt;
  164. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrAax11UjB36eFr-T5AuZCl0IYjLjJa-Xmfiu8nioipvwF00b_-jcggVYmGh20zLE2FdRP5b9c-UJlWRK1noGMHNwFYZvkuO0yMp36eomtr1kqrVLe4LQO1JHJWsgIsJxV64t1deufi8M/s1600/bottom+false+lashes.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;296&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrAax11UjB36eFr-T5AuZCl0IYjLjJa-Xmfiu8nioipvwF00b_-jcggVYmGh20zLE2FdRP5b9c-UJlWRK1noGMHNwFYZvkuO0yMp36eomtr1kqrVLe4LQO1JHJWsgIsJxV64t1deufi8M/s400/bottom+false+lashes.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  165. So... all that to say, I know I&#39;m about to have a child in the next 4 weeks and will probably have even less time to get prettified in the mornings, but I want to wear falsies again! I just bought &lt;a href=&quot;http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;amp;item=400196035679#ht_5294wt_905&quot;&gt;10 pair on ebay&lt;/a&gt; for about 14 cents each. Ooh yeah. Gotta love buying in bulk from across the pond :) Anyway, I figure when I have the time I won&#39;t feel guilty about messing them up while I practice.&lt;br /&gt;
  166. &lt;br /&gt;
  167. For tonight&#39;s spa night I&#39;m doing a foot soak, &lt;a href=&quot;http://beautyandinspirationblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/spa-night-nail-repair-with-tea-bag.html&quot;&gt;repairing one of my finger nails&lt;/a&gt; (yes! I broke one already! So soon after &lt;a href=&quot;http://beautyandinspirationblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/trip-to-spa.html&quot;&gt;my spa visit&lt;/a&gt;. grrrr) and dyeing my hair. Oh hush, it&#39;s ammonia free dye and temporary, so don&#39;t get all worried for Baby Belly. I&#39;m just trying out a slightly lighter shade of brunette.&lt;br /&gt;

  170. &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;I&#39;ve been needing some stress free time and have been really wanting a pedicure for some time now. I can no longer do my at home pedicure this far along in pregnancy and the sight of my non-pampered feet was kind of driving me nuts. Yesterday was Hubby&#39;s day off so I eagerly looked over a menu of spa services and was excited with the idea of a 60 minute pedicure. Then my wonderful man told me to go ahead and get a few more services I&#39;ve been wanting. Woohoo! One phone call later and I was booked for a 60 min pedicure, 60 min manicure and 30 min prenatal massage :) I couldn&#39;t wait!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ha!). And of course, I took my camera :) This documented trip&#39;s for you, Mom! I missed you so much while I was soaking up all the relaxation. You would&#39;ve loved it! We so have to go there the next time you&#39;re in town.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

So glad I took a swimsuit cover up just in case! I used the robe tie to accent my preggo belly so I wouldn&#39;t look like a blob and just kept the too small robe open over my cover up dress. I got lots of compliments from the workers there and several of my fellow spa goers in their tied up robes told me &quot;I didn&#39;t know we could wear a cute cover up under the robe! I&#39;m doing that next time.&quot; Also much commented on were my gray Old Navy flip flops, of which customers also said they didn&#39;t know you could bring your own. But I&#39;m paranoid of much used public spaces and sharing shoes.

No strain on my back and I could lie on my belly without smashing Baby Belly. I&#39;m sure he appreciated it. I was off in happy land for 30 minutes while I had the stress worked out of me as I listened to artfully arranged rainforest and beach noises over the room speakers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ_nJDWFZMiFOWrE9QEtT6sB6JnhLFmRHbZjgYSeCmFaxOFRtayBOOnvbPRVhdqGHMz9_ydcE_w5XB0H_wz9_Vc5nQCVtUWyF-x3q3cX0tF2p3M4N9G_2st1LlLbGHU-FZ3l_mvwrDjzzZ/s1600/033.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;223&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ_nJDWFZMiFOWrE9QEtT6sB6JnhLFmRHbZjgYSeCmFaxOFRtayBOOnvbPRVhdqGHMz9_ydcE_w5XB0H_wz9_Vc5nQCVtUWyF-x3q3cX0tF2p3M4N9G_2st1LlLbGHU-FZ3l_mvwrDjzzZ/s400/033.JPG&quot; style=&quot;cursor: move;&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  185. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;The massage ended all too soon, but it was heavenly! My back hurt once I got up from the table, but in a few minutes my joints all snapped back into place and I felt like all the stress I had been carrying just melted away. I could have honestly curled up on that table and fallen asleep right there. But my masseuse gently guided me down the hall to meet my nail technician. I had to laugh later. The masseuse must have lots of experience herding sleepy guests from the massage rooms!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I walked in a dream like state to my cushy pedicure throne where my technician had a warm foot bath, some magazines and water waiting for me. Oh my word! I wanted to move in there :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;I couldn&#39;t get a good shot of my manicure. The gray days here make the light tricky for the almost sheer polish. But&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://polishaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/barielle-shades-sand-al-chic.jpg&quot;&gt;here&#39;s a swatch&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of the exact shade I have on my finger nails.

But I &lt;i&gt;know&lt;/i&gt;, I don&#39;t feel, I KNOW that the Lord has always brought us through. And He will again. It might not be in the way I would like it. The rescue from this new fear/pain/anxiety may not be all sunshine and roses. But I know that it will come because God&#39;s Word promises that He will not leave me desolate. I have nothing else, Lord. Only You. And You are more than enough. Please grant me peace and the courage to walk ahead trusting You. &lt;br /&gt;

We have one  special gift or activity planned for every day leading up to his  birthday. Relatives have been amazing sending boxes and boxes of goodies  for our little boy and even sending along little things for our new  little one coming in April! So we&#39;re pretty much set on the gifts for  our birthday boy thanks to our wonderful family.&lt;br /&gt;
  263. &lt;br /&gt;
  264. If you  don&#39;t know this yet, Hubby works retail and earns a commission, which  can be a tricky tricky business. Selling at a large furniture store is  hard work! Especially now when the economy leaves more and more people  opting to buy used furniture instead of new (ahem, like us!). It goes  without saying that some weeks the pickings are slim. But the Lord  always makes sure we have enough. Always. Well, our God has just proved  again that He cares, even about the little things. We have enough  groceries to get to the next paycheck, but the big finale for Birthday  Week is to have a picnic at a park &amp;amp; playground. It&#39;s more  frugal to make the picnic food, but even making it will be a bit of a  stretch this week. I know lots of people have it harder than this, I&#39;m  not complaining, simply giving you background for the blessing I&#39;m about  to share.&lt;br /&gt;
  265. &lt;br /&gt;
  266. It will only be the three of us so we decided on a simple menu of:&lt;br /&gt;
  267. Deviled eggs&lt;br /&gt;
  268. Chips&lt;br /&gt;
  269. Wahoo Sandwiches (already have the ingredients)&lt;br /&gt;
  270. Cupcakes (from scratch, always have the ingredients)&lt;br /&gt;
  271. Ice Cream&lt;br /&gt;
  272. With lots of crystal light and juice (got these in the cupboards too)&lt;br /&gt;
  273. &lt;br /&gt;
  274. So  we figured out our budget and were elated to see that we could make  Birthday Week and the actual birthday happen! But only if I used some  coupons to get a few free items to get us through this week so we could  afford the extra and pay our bills (pesky bills). &lt;br /&gt;
  275. &lt;br /&gt;
  276. A  few weeks ago, we received store coupons for Dillons where we have a  free customer rewards card. I decided to go to the store and use the  free coupons. Imagine my surprise when I actually got in the store and  took a look at the coupons we had for free items.&lt;br /&gt;
  277. &lt;br /&gt;
  278. &lt;br /&gt;
  279. &lt;b&gt;Free Cheerios!&lt;/b&gt; Baby Boy eats these every day either for breakfast or a snack.&lt;br /&gt;
  280. &lt;b&gt;Free potato chips&lt;/b&gt; for the picnic!&lt;br /&gt;
  281. &lt;b&gt;A dozen free eggs&lt;/b&gt; for our yummy picnic side dish.&lt;br /&gt;
  282. And &lt;b&gt;free ice cream&lt;/b&gt; for the picnic! You can&#39;t say God doesn&#39;t care about the little things.&lt;br /&gt;
  283. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhL5hEAcjcdg0j1JkfeDE9QK_rxko3PFsBHorkrvnO9TRj7vka-bf5wpc6v0aSnexSHyzKYNS_F9I9m8isIYjvRr3B7yX8__neXe3JPXSRMI4PV21B826UbmCbBIAZOPcgOX0a6RHmB677/s1600/030.JPG&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhL5hEAcjcdg0j1JkfeDE9QK_rxko3PFsBHorkrvnO9TRj7vka-bf5wpc6v0aSnexSHyzKYNS_F9I9m8isIYjvRr3B7yX8__neXe3JPXSRMI4PV21B826UbmCbBIAZOPcgOX0a6RHmB677/s320/030.JPG&quot; width=&quot;179&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn3hvgSX0fyXbu5xMBG3frCLsCAV7PgBO8ZZXYURe-rqVIeh9xhYQ_mzbfBDrqFV4X25gZiRXCwh_uQHmSfpoH7cxxG6AZgcpV-EOSK2A9ySM_L3beav68jbmSMQjlcCrQd2g4cN_VVuiq/s1600/031.JPG&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;179&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn3hvgSX0fyXbu5xMBG3frCLsCAV7PgBO8ZZXYURe-rqVIeh9xhYQ_mzbfBDrqFV4X25gZiRXCwh_uQHmSfpoH7cxxG6AZgcpV-EOSK2A9ySM_L3beav68jbmSMQjlcCrQd2g4cN_VVuiq/s320/031.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  284. These  few items are a HUGE blessing to us this week! It may seem silly to  some, but I&#39;m overwhelmed with the way the Lord provides. It always  happens. Week by week in this terrible economy, we don&#39;t have the means  and sometimes are a bit anxious. But when we give it over to the Lord,  He always provides in big financial ways and in small yummier ways :)&lt;br /&gt;
