Sunday Snapshots: {Snow}

10.30.11

This is a first. At least for me.

I cannot remember ever getting snow in October. 

But, we got it. Several inches of wet, heavy snow, most of which had melted by time I got myself outside (in my pjs) to take these pictures. Several inches which took it’s toll on power lines and left us without power for several hours. It’s amazing how antsy a family gets when they know they can’t use any modern technology for an TBD amount of time.

And, we’re in the process of getting a new roof put on. They promise us it’s water tight. 

Even the spot in the sunroom where the roofer fell through our ceiling on Friday and left a gaping hole, bringing wood down that nearly clocked Drew in the head. 
No more dilly dallying for me. I’ve got giveaways to format for everyday this week.

Purposeful Giveaways

10.29.11

You know what has me thinking?

Americans spend $450 billion a year every Christmas. $450 billion.


That’s a lot of money to spend on gifts that are most often forgettable.

And, I’m really not hoping for a forgettable Christmas this year. Are you?

Here’s what I’ve got in the works — from 10/31 through Christmas, I’ve got a bundle of giveaways planned for you. Yes, they are fun. Yes, you are going to oooo and ahhh at the really neat things you could win simply by leaving a comment.

But, it’s not just about fun things for you.

Yes, I’m tricking you a little bit here. Hang with me.

Every offer, every little store, every big store, every creative person behind each giveaway is offering people a way to do Christmas a little differently this year. They are offering a way to help you make Christmas gift giving mean something.

You are not going to want to miss this.

Winner {The Jade Rabbit}

10.29.11

The hope of sitting with Shannon over a latte and chatting for hours about parenting and adoption and serving God is far fetched, I know. This mama and her husband Doug live in Washington state, only about 2,400 miles away. One day, maybe, one day. Shannon is mama to three kiddos–Ravenna (from China), Parker (homegrown), and Georgia Mei (from China’s special needs program, born with a heart condition). And, this mama serves like crazy. You gotta go check out her blog. And, visit Ravenna’s very own blog here. This family so rocks.

Congratulations on the win, Shannon. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the book!

Everybody else, stay tuned. 


Not kidding. Really. Stick around.

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.
