<br />
So I set out to make a large nativity, a small, medium, and large Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus set.<br />
<br />
Here is what I purchased:<br />
<br />
From Lowes:<br />
TWO 2x2 boards (size is really 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 when you measure it!) about $5 each<br />
<br />
From Hobby Lobby: (all wooden stuff can be found in their wood section)<br />
ONE package of wooden Ball Knobs 1 1/2" (9 count) $3.99<br />
ONE package of wooden Ball Knobs 3/4" (6 count I think) $1.99<br />
ONE package of wooden Dowel Caps 1/4" (20 count) $1.99<br />
ONE package of wooden Spool 1/2" x 1/2" (20 count) $1.99<br />
ONE roll of natural trim twine (15ft) (ribbon section) $1.99<br />
ONE small rectangle wood piece to cut up for Baby Jesus $0.79<br />
<br />
Other Supplies: (I had these on hand)<br />
Acrylic paint<br />
Paint Brushes<br />
Wood glue and/or hot glue gun<br />
Scraps of burlap<br />
Scraps of white felt<br />
Sticks (from your yard)<br />
Small piece of wire (for angel wings)<br />
Piece of sand paper<br />
<br />
I do not have any pictures of my work in progress, but if you have any questions just ask!<br />
<br />
1.) Measure the 2x2 boards (each board was 36" long)<br />
In no order I measured and drew lines on my boards before heading outside to cut them. I also wrote on each section of the board the name of the figure it was going to be. (does that make sense?)<br />
Lengths:<br />
Mary 5 1/4" - need 2<br />
Joseph 6" - need 2<br />
<br />
Wise Man 6"<br />
Wise Man 4 1/2"<br />
Wise Man 7 1/2"<br />
<br />
Shepard 6 1/2"<br />
Shepard 5 1/2"<br />
<br />
Sheep 1 1/2"<br />
Sheep 1 1/2"<br />
<br />
Angel 8"<br />
<br />
board for Baby Jesus 3 x 1 3/4" - need two<br />
<br />
(I had about 7" of scrap left over so you have a little wiggle room if you want to make more sheep or mess up a cut.)<br />
<br />
2) Sand and the rough edges.<br />
<br />
3) Paint each base square figure the desired color. Paint the ball knobs (both sizes) a tan/skin color. Paint two dowel caps white, two tan/skin color. Paint 3 spools (if you desire them painted)<br />
<br />
4) Use wood glue (or hot glue gun) to glue one large head to each square base. Glue one small ball knob onto the Baby Jesus board. Glue one small ball knob onto the front of each sheep, and a dowel cap on the other end for tail.<br />
<br />
5) Distress all pieces as desired with sandpaper.<br />
<br />
6)Accessories: Cut your twine 18" long for each wise man, shepherd, and angel. Wise man twine goes through spool and around body twice. Shepherd twine goes around twice and holds the stick in place. Angel twine makes an X pattern on body. Shape a small piece of wire for angel wings and hot glue to back. Mary's head wrap: trace half a of a bowl onto burlap (I used a 7" bowl) Fold and glue around her head/body so it will somewhat lay flat (see after pictures)<br />
<br />
7) Glue Mary, Joseph together. Then glue on Baby Jesus and use a 30" piece of twine to wrap around them twice and tie.<br />
<br />
When you are done you should have one full nativity AND one Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus set!<br />
<br />
If you want to make the mini versions you need to add<br />
<br />
ONE package of wooden "man" (8 count)<br />
ONE package of wooden "boy" (6 count)<br />
<br />
to your shopping list. Both can be found in the wood aisle at Hobby Lobby with the other items.<br />
<br />
Here is my finished product: (Tree was bought at Hobby Lobby)<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Our family is super excited about this new event in our life. We have been packing up and will make the big trek one last time from Brooksville, KY to Oak Ridge, MO next Tuesday. It is hard to fathom we will no longer be Kentucky residents in just over a week. Most exciting is that Josh will leave his secular employment behind, as well as the two jobs, and just be a full time pastor! :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pray for us during this move process!!</div>

I feel extremely behind in updates! First off, I hate that the photo stream does not work unless my phone and laptop are open, online, and connected to the SAME wifi. Seriously?! So all my pictures are stuck on my phone right now, and my blogger app is not letting me post. :(</div>

February 28, 2013 we celebrated Hannah's 6th birthday!! It is so amazing the beautiful young lady she is becoming. She is growing up so fast. She asked me for high heels the other day! We had a great day doing special things and letting her shop at the mall with Mommy. We also met friends in Lexington at Chuck E Cheese for a mini birthday party. All in all she had a great day!</div>

On March 16, 2013 we celebrated Micah's 3rd birthday. I made him a CANDY cake. Chocolate cake covered with all sorts of candy. He LOVED it. And ate way more candy off the cake then the cake itself. Oh well. It was his birthday! We went to Chick-fil-A which is where he picked to go over Chuck E Cheese. When we got to Chick-fil-A he informed us that for his birthday he only wanted to eat fries! That kid is too funny. :)</div>

<br />
i tried to get some pictures to upload but apple products are failing me tonight and thus no pictures.<br />
<br />
Hannah is growing up so fast. she is learning more and more in school. i hope i can teach her to read soon.<br />
<br />
Andrew fell down in the church parking lot yesterday and busted out his front tooth pretty bad. cut up his gums, lips, and inside of his mouth in general. the whole baby tooth plus the roots and everything came out. very interesting trip to the er and my first one since being her in nky.<br />
<br />
Micah is extra mischievous. he is getting into so much in the blink of an eye. literally. from toilets, to toothpaste, to daddy's shaving cream, scissors, pens and pencils, drinks, candy, to climbing. he is a handful and a half. <br />
<br />
SarahBeth is growing like crazy. don't know what she weighs now but something big i know it. she is in 6-9 month clothes already, sleeping through the night, and very alert. she loves to smile and talk to anyone who will listen.<br />
<br />
most of the time i feel like i am handling all four kiddos well, but every mom has her day. next week i hit the big 3.0. it doesn't bother me like i thought it might. the kids are very excited counting down until mommy's birthday.<br />
<br />
Josh is still working for american express and pastoring at Willow. it is always an interesting balance for a life of a bi-vocation pastor and his family. i know the Lord is watching over our family and knows what we need.<br />
<br />
in other news, so thankful we didn't have to pay our evil mortgage company this month. yay. seriously awesome. they didn't deserve another cent. and since i don't have anything else nice to say about that i won't say anything more at all.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30395184.post-1439479370153955112012-10-11T01:19:00.001-04:002012-10-11T01:19:13.061-04:00Organizing Your Kitchen<center>

I LOVE a good organized and efficient kitchen! Whether your kitchen is big or small I hope these tips will help you keep your life running smoothly.</center>

I love Ikea! :) I purchased these <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50163264/">Ikea Wall Pockets</a> for $3.99! They cam in two colors. Originally they were going to be for small toy storage on the back of my kid's bedroom doors. But my children got the best of my storage ideas and now I use them on the back of my kitchen door (leading to the garage/basement). I keep small snacks like peanut butter crackers, marshmallows, hard candy, gummies, and even the charger to my Swiffer Sweeper vac. This is a great way to store snacks. They are easy to see, and by storing them here, I can save valuable cabinet space for other items.<br />
<br />

Small baskets for food storage. </div>

<center style="text-align: left;">
I use these small baskets (found at Dollar General) to store my muffin mixes, cookie mixes, etc. This bin is stashed in my round about corner cabinet and it keeps the small packets from just sliding around everywhere or getting lost or separated.</center>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Inside cupboard doors attach cork board for small notes, recipes, or things you need to keep close. Since I usually stand at this part of the counter to address a letter, I keep my postage stamps tacked up inside, as well as receipts I need to save or submit, and random information. As you can tell it looks a little cluttered. I probably need to sort through some of that paper. :)<br />

Clutter / Bills:</div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/10/10/2981.jpg"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/10/10/s_2981.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center>
<br />
I have already mentioned in a previous post I love ThirtyOne!! This is another great way to use one of their products. Their <a href="https://www.mythirtyone.com/shop/productdetail.aspx?prod=3258">All-in-One Organizer</a> is awesome. It has side pockets for small note pads, pens, scissors etc. The width of the organizer is exactly the length of a file folder minus about 1 cm. (just trim it off and go!) I keep files for all my stuff so there are NO piles of paperwork on my kitchen counter. I cannot stand paper clutter.<br />
Here are some helper hints for file categories:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Bills</li>
<li>Paid Bills</li>
<li>Insurance</li>
<li>Coupons</li>
<li>Misc Papers to Save</li>
<li>(Insert Husband's name) Work</li>
<li>File folder for each family member</li>
<li>Kids art work (I save for a short while until I can take a picture of it then it is disposed of)</li>
<li>Miscellaneous</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Junk Drawer:</div>

<br />
Don't let this extra drawer take over itself. Mine stays neat and tidy with two utensil holders. The extra space around the edges is for a few extra things that don't fit as neatly into the slots.<br />
I have slots for:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Pens</li>
<li>Pencils</li>
<li>Markers</li>
<li>Scissors</li>
<li>Flashlights</li>
<li>Clothes Pins</li>
<li>Nail File</li>
<li>Screw Drivers</li>
<li>Matches / Lighter</li>
</ul>

We all need a go to place. I have seriously tried the digital calendar thing, but I just LOVE these giant wall calendars. Everything is at a glance and is so handy. :) You can purchase them at Staples or another office store, but I have been getting mine in the Target DOLLAR SPOT every year now for the past three years. Love it!! I purchased the magnetic strip (to the right) from Ikea. (these strips are great!) They are under $10 and you can mount them anywhere and store anything magnetic on them. I have the circle magnetic organizer holder (also from Ikea!) with push pins and chalk (for my chalkboard on the other side of my kitchen door). I also have a magnetic cup holder for pens and pencils to write on the calendar with. At the bottom I have a magnetic clip to hod any random paper I may need right there. I also had a note pad hanging there for awhile too. :)<br />

Any other ideas and tips for keeping your kitchen and command center more organized and efficient?</div>

<br />
Organize your hall closet / bathroom closet with shoebox bins. Label each bin to be able to locate everything easily. (these are about half of the bins I have, the medicine ones are on higher shelves out of little arms reach)<br />

Jewelry Storage:</div>
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/10/10/2987.jpg"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/10/10/s_2987.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center>
<br />
This wasn't the original idea I had for jewelry storage, but this idea is working great for me right now. I repurposed an old cork board and covered in with a piece of fabric (this happens to be part of a table cloth!) that matched my room decor. I added brown ribbon to edge it out. I inserted push pins where needed to arrange my jewelry at various heights so it would not get tangled with each other. You could also do a mini one for bracelet storage too.<br />
<br />
<br />
Shoes/Entrance:<br />

I could give you lots of examples of what I really would want our entrance way/mud room to look like. BUT where we are in the house we are in we do not have a mud room, we have a small space by the front door. I lined the wall space with a long row of hooks (as many fit!) and we hang coats, jackets, purses, diaper bags, etc on the hooks. This <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80153800/">Ikea storage bin</a> sits below. It is sturdy enough to sit on, but you can also use it for a flat storage of something fast as you come in the door. In the bins we keep my boys shoes. (For right now the white bin in the middle also houses the Mega Blocks, but that is a different story!) Once winter comes I will swap out bins and have that middle space for hats, scarves, and gloves.<br />

Laundry help: (maybe!) got (single) socks?</div>

Yep! I do! More than half of my socks have divorced each other. It's crazy. If I am really desperate, I wear mismatched socks. It is really that bad! <br />
So here is my storage solution for holding said deserted socks until their mate has been restored.<br />
<br />
I LOVE <a href="https://www.mythirtyone.com/itsmybag/">ThirtyOne</a>. I'm linking my friend's site just because. But if you have a friend who sells it you can go to them for advise! But I love this <a href="https://www.mythirtyone.com/shop/productdetail.aspx?prod=3401">Littles Carry All</a>! It can be used for many things. I had "got socks?" embroidered on here and keep this in my hall closet. Any socks that have lost their mate go into this bin until the matching mate is found, or I decide to pitch it. But I love this storage caddy for extra socks. :) Wonderful!<br />

Any great tips you want to share with me? </div>

<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/10/10/2916.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/10/10/s_2916.jpg" style="cursor: move; margin: 5px;" width="165" /></a></div>
So I <u><i>try</i></u> to keep my kids room's organized. I really do. But most of the time I end up wondering why I spend so much time cleaning and organizing when it gets messed up in minutes!<br />
<br />
<br />
But here are some of my favorite tips that have worked in keeping my kids clothes, accessories, and toys organized.<br />
<br />
<br />
First up is the closet in my boy's room. My boys get into EVERYTHING all the time! I didn't want a dresser in their room that could possibly be emptied in minutes and disaster in the clothing organizing area. So I opted for this:<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/10/10/2917.jpg"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/10/10/s_2917.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center>
<br />
I put a small, three shelf bookcase in my boys closet. (You could do a taller one, but I wanted to keep the clothes rod in the top to hang their dress shirts.) I purchased the bookshelf and storage cubes at Target. These <a href="http://www.target.com/p/closetmaid-arrangements-large-fabric-bin-warm-cocoa/-/A-13908815#prodSlot=medium_3_20&term=storage%20cubes">storage cubes</a> are awesome. They are a great way to hide storage on bookshelves in any part of the house!! There are also <a href="http://www.target.com/p/closetmaid-mini-fabric-drawer-set-of-2-fuschia/-/A-13217540#prodSlot=medium_3_33&term=storage%20cubes">mini cubes</a> which I put on the top of the shelf for socks and underwear. The only way I could improve on this (for me) would be to label the drawers so my family would remember whose clothes are on what shelf. Sadly for me my kids like to remove said labels, stickers, etc and so my labels have no chance on my kids stuff. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
My second tip would be to maximize storage space in your child's closet. Take advantage of this especially while your kids are younger and the clothing is smaller. Purchase a <a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=15040149">closet rod extender</a>. These things are great! Here I have my newborn daughter's clothes on top and my 5 year old daughter's dresses on the bottom. The closet rod is adjustable so you can make the bottom rod as tall or as short as you need. This is also a great tip in other closets where you are hanging shirts. You can double your closet space!<br />

<br />
<br />
This tip is SO fun because I love being crafty and making things. I painted a old picture frame, stapled ribbon from top to bottom and hung this up in my daughters' room for bow storage. I also screwed some mug hooks into the bottom side to hold headbands. As an added bonus it doubles as art! You can get so creative with this piece to match any decoration or style you have. (as you can see I even have two!)<br />
<br />

<br />
Toy storage tips:<br />
Once again I am using a white, three shelf bookshelf from <a href="http://www.target.com/">Target</a>. I love that store! The Closet Maid cubes are also from Target. They have so many colors to choose from! My daughter has the bottom bins for shoes, one for barbies, one for play food, one for misc, etc. I also attached a small 4 count set of hooks into the side of the shelf for her to hang up her necklaces, headbands, or Rapunzel hair. (as pictured here) :)<br />
<br />

<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/10/10/2921.jpg"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/10/10/s_2921.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center>
<br />
Other storage tips I could give are the under the bed storage bins! I keep extra winter blankets, toys, craft supplies, shoes, and clothes to grow into in the bins. It is a great way to use extra space.<br />
<br />
Also, utilized the back of the closet door or bedroom door. In my boys room I have high hooks, so I can hang back packs or other things out of reach. In my daughter's room I have multiple hooks of various lengths so she can hang purses, coats, and bags.<br />
<br />
Hopefully some of these tips helped you out, and please don't get discouraged organizing your child's room! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30395184.post-1497629485277426432012-10-07T00:23:00.001-04:002012-10-07T00:23:52.662-04:00September Recap in Pictures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Please keep our family in your prayers. The devil seeks to destroy us and rob our joy in the most crazy and unexpected circumstances. (and it is so hard when you are 9 months pregnant, emotional, and sleep deprived!) Trying not to let what others say or do against our family, or other people's circumstances affect my emotions. It is so tough.<br />
<br />
Okay, here's hoping and praying the next update with include a precious picture of our sweet SarahBeth and Mommy!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30395184.post-36452933723809391502012-07-26T19:48:00.003-04:002012-07-26T19:48:56.447-04:00The Countdown!So after having two horrible doctor appointments (meaning my cervix was closed, the baby hadn't dropped yet, and I was told induction was not an option until my body showed some progress). I couldn't even post the words my cervix was "closed". So frustrating!<br />
<br />
This Wednesday I went back for a check up and I had dilated to 1 cm and was 50% effaced, and SarahBeth had dropped. I was so encouraged!! My blood pressure was borderline high / concerning to the doctor so he told me an induction this coming Tuesday (July 31) sounded like a good idea! Super excited. Really hoping I go into labor BEFORE then (naturally without meds), but super excited that in less than 5 days I will get my second sweet pretty princess! :)<br />
<br />
I check into L&D on July 31 at 6am. My aunt is scheduled to arrive July 30 to help out with the kids. Keep us in your prayers. I cannot wait to post pictures of SB!! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30395184.post-25836935311807679612012-07-10T13:10:00.003-04:002012-07-10T13:10:48.289-04:0036 Weeks & Dr VisitHit the 36 week mark today! Cervix was still closed. Somehow I knew that would be the case. I'm not worried. I know SB will make her appearance soon enough. By all my 37 week appointments (with my previous three) I have been at least 1 cm and 50% effaced. Time will tell if I continue the trend. They have all come about the same time anyway, regardless on dilation and effacement.<br />
<br />
Trying not to just laze around the house. I am really having a lot of nesting urges, but no energy to complete my tasks! I find enough energy to do what I need to do, but no more. :) I guess how I have seen my spotless house go from spotless to disaster in 30 minutes with three kids playing! That depletes my motivation. ha.<br />

Well, here we are in the 3rd trimester of my pregnancy. So thankful to have made it this far and have a healthy baby! Earlier on I was informed I had complete placenta previa. Sometimes complete previa will not resolve itself and this results in a c-section (and other complications) instead of a vaginal delivery. I was informed today that I had the most mild form of complete previa and that as of today, everything had resolved itself! This means I will not be a high risk pregnancy anymore. Very grateful!! :)</div>

Today the ultrasound tech also went over everything with SarahBeth, she checked on her measurements and everything looked well. SarahBeth weighed about 2 pounds. I was very thankful to be able to see all her little body parts, spine, heart, brain, and even her hiccups! :)</div>
