Jiayin Designs–New Style Added!

7.11.10

Isn’t this SO pretty? It’s a hand cut sterling silver character (like all the ones available from Jiayin Designs) in a circular frame loosely connected to a large round piece of mother of pearl. You can order it in natural (as shown), an ivory shade, or a dark blackish shade. So stunning on! I just love it.

The character I had put on this one for a sample piece is hao. Hao means good. But, what I love about it is that what creates the character here for good is actually the characters for woman (the character on the left) with a child (the character on the right). Isn’t that beautiful? What actually symbolizes good is a woman with a child. What a beautiful symbol to wear around my neck, and a wonderful reminder to me that what I am doing in mothering these 4 children is good.

Toy Story 3

7.11.10

Surprised the kids this rainy Saturday….

“Guys, family meeting. Here’s what we’re doing today. It’s 3 words and the third word is three.” Even after telling them the second word was “story,” it took a while for them to get it. But, when they did, excitement ensued!
Warning: Mothers, prepare to cry…possibly hard. I was a mess at the end. I thought I was either disgustingly pathetic or a hormonal wreck. But, another mom told me tonight that she cried too (and her baby is 27). 
I’m treating my kids’ toys a little more gently tonight. Just what Mark wants to hear–his pack rat wife is now wanting to hold onto more toys.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
