A yummy smelling electric, yet primitive, grubby candle. In various scents and colors, it has white icing dripping down the outside of the shell and comes with a homespun ribbon tied around it. The shell warms when the candle is lit, which releases the scent! The shell does not melt, so no more worrying about running wax or burns. The flameless candle comes with an on/off electric cord plus a 5 watt silicone dipped bulb. Makes for a great gift! Fluted tin dish included.

As you may (or may not) know, travel costs are huge and we're just trying to find ways to come up with the costs of lodging, airfare, and necessities that are required of such a long stay in country. Our little guy turned 3 last month and we want to make sure that another birthday doesn't pass without us. I would show you his sweet face, but we aren't able to until he's legally ours. But, I can tell you....HE'S SO HANDSOME!!! And, he's got the sweetest little cheeks that you just want to kiss on!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

To make it easy, you can comment your order and just click on the donate button to pay. I'll contact you as I receive orders and will either ship or deliver to you in approximately 3 weeks!!

New look!!

My new friend Mary from Bright Sunshine Designs hooked me up with this fabulous blog design. The moment I saw it I knew that it fit 'us' perfectly. I'm so excited about it and I just log on to look at it! Please, check her out!!

On the adoption front: Our home study finally arrived! Currently we are waiting for another piece of the puzzle to fall into place along with some potentially really great opportunities to raise funds for our adoption.

I took a break from paperwork today and went to the mall in search of Valentine's day goodies for Wayne and the kids. I am a sucker for Hallmark cards! I want my kids to remember the little cards that I taped to the bathroom mirror, the notes in their lunchboxes and the small gestures that I made regularly to make them feel special. One of the fondest childhood memories involves a gesture like that made by my mom. She would come home from work sometimes with little treats and surprises for us, nothing grandiose. We were always so excited for her to come home anyway, and the prospect of some neat little trinket was an added bonus. I vividly remember her holding out each of her hands to my brother and I so that we could pick the surprise. She slowly opened her hand to reveal a tiny cube that when placed in water became a washcloth with the picture of a dinosaur on the front. At some point in my life I decided that I wanted to be that kind of mom. The one with spontaneous little things that said 'I thought of you today'. So, I write notes and I leave dollar store prizes outside their bedroom door. What's one thing that you want your children to remember about you?
