Well today has been interesting...cell phone went through the wash, hubs lost expensive pair of Oakley's and the POTTY HAS NOT BEEN USED BY ETHAN at all today!!! I think he is digressing as he has had so many accidents in the past 3 days.

I have gotten SO frustrated and SO discouraged and then I feel SOOO guilty.
I have cried, prayed and read my bible more today than I have in the past few weeks. How can someone I love with such a deep love that I cant even put into words, someone I love so much I would do anything for, give my life for...how can some things he does be so frustrating??

A customer came over tonight to pick up an order and I lost it...totally lost it. This wasn't the first time we have met so I was thankful for that! We had a good chat (thanks BJ). I loved how we could just talk about life and frustrations and joys of being a mom. I am sure she had no idea she would be playing "encourager" as she walked into our house tonight.

I think this is one of my very very favorite things about owning my own business from home. Talking and relating to all the women who are going through (or have been through) exactly what I am going through. I love the encouragement we can offer each other and the laughs we share about the funny things our kids do and say. They joys really do outweigh the frustrations. I love knowing that I am not the only one who blows it every now and then.

Aren't you so thankful for the grace of God??? Seriously, I thought about how impatient I was with Ethan today after about the 3rd accident he had and just wept...I just thought about how it would be if the Lord were that impatient with me when I have "accidents". He pours so much grace over me and is so patient with my childlike ways. I want more than anything to show the love of Christ to my boys through how I treat them, their daddy and others. And today, I failed...miserably...and I am sure this is not the last of these days although I pray they are far and few.

If you are still reading, well then you have really gotten to know a part of me that the majority of you probably didn't know as I usually only blog about bags and add a few pics of my family : )

Don't be scared to come over to our house to pick up your order in the future...I don't typically lay my whole day out for customers, I'll try to have it more together for you :) But you will definitely be entering our "real family life" as there are no fronts put on by us. I hope to at least be out of my pj's and have a path cleared from toys so you can enter safely :)
As always, if you don't like etsy or just don't want to purchase off of it, you can simply use the "contact us" form and let me know what you want!
