Jiayin Giveaway Winner!

8.9.10

Remember the Jiayin Designs giveaway for someone fundraising for their adoption?

Evan picked the winner this time…and the winner is…(drumroll, please) Daleea at Orphaned No More! She is selling the coolest bracelets–please check them out if you haven’t already. I’ve gotta get one for me and one for Ashlyn. I even love the way she names and photographs each different pattern. So creative! And, you know what is so cool, she has coordinating ones to match things purchased from Robin over at Red Thread Stitches–another mama fundraising for their adoption. So neat.

Daleea, can’t wait to see how you use the charm to raise more money for your cause! And, I’m happy to report that there were 175 clicks on those fundraising links from my blog post! If you weren’t one of those 175, take the time to go back to the original post here, scroll down and check out all the creative things these families are doing to raise the funds needed for their adoptions. Furthermore, buy something! Bid on something! Donate something! Whatever! Support these families!

I hope to do this giveaway again maybe next month–so keep your eyes open those of you who didn’t win it this time. I love bringing Jiayin attention as well as bringing all of you fundraising families more exposure!

Sunday Snapshot: Living Hope at Great Wolf

8.9.10

2 hours in the car to take the kids to the Living Hope Adoption Agency reunion here for the weekend.
Do I need to tell you it was a hit?
The kids saw this through a window in the lobby and started jumping around. 
Evan said, “This is the best day ever!” 
Really? Ever? He tends to speak in extremes. 
These tubes essentially became our home for the weekend. 

The kids named this one “the soaker” which was better than their name for their other favorite–“the toilet bowl.” I confess, it did fit the bill. 
But, Lydia didn’t get to play in this one.
But, she sure did like this one. 
Too tired from too many water slides to report much more. 
You know how after you go roller skating, you still sorta feel like you are roller skating? That’s how I feel right now but about water slides. 
We’re all going to sleep well tonight.

Ni Hao Y'all

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.
