I am a daddy's girl to the core. Now, I am completely aware that this note was note for me. It was intended for my mother. I have no idea how long it had been there, but when I saw it, tears immediately came to my eyes. You see, my daddy did a lot of things for me growing up. He cooked pancakes for me every morning and if I needed something during the school day, he would bring it to me. I was admittedly spoiled and enjoyed every minute of it. However, he gave me two of the most precious gifts he could have ever given me just by being himself. He loves the Lord with all of his heart and never strays from seeking His will or doing what is right. In addition to that, he loves my mom and always puts her desires above his own...and making her happy, makes him happy. That's what this note is about to me. After almost 53 years of marriage, she still "lites up his life ":). What better gift can a father give his daughter than to love her mother and serve the God of all creation. Thank you, Daddy for being the best father a girl could ask for!

She Lights Up His Life
While visiting my parents a few months ago, I walked in the bathroom and saw this...

Sew Long Seven
My middle child recently turned eight. While pining away on Pinterest (my new favorite love), I saw a party idea for a little girl turning seven. It was called Sew Seven. At first, there was a hint of disappointment as I feared I had either missed this party or would have to wait another two years to do it for my youngest. I almost mailed the link to a friend, but then decided I would just change the wording to "Sew Long Seven". It pretty much made my day to realize I would able to have a sewing party for her. She was equally as excited!
And so it began...
the food
(some of them had to improvise)
Now, if you'd like to check out the original and much cooler party idea, please do so. She has more creative ideas that I abandoned for budgets sake. Regardless, it was alot of fun and I had a happy little girl at the end of the day.

Good Friends
I had a blog post in waiting (you know, because I blog so much these days), but because I am such a good friend (said while laughing), I have decided to help a sister out. Here is a template for the flower petals. It is in PDF form, so most likely you will have to use Adobe or a similar program to open it. I'm typing as if I know what I'm talking about. If you have no idea what flowers I'm referring to, check it out at Playing Sublimely.
