grAy is how it's spelled in America 

grEy is how it's spelled in England

"Is it grey or gray?" is likely one of the most frequently asked questions in regards to common misspellings, however there are many other commonly misspelled words related to regional differences. In most cases American spellings seem to be a bit more phonetic. Here's a handy chart.

Gold sequined top // New & Never Worn! // POL // Size L

The One with My First Insta-Sale!

@mrscoachsimscloset on Instagram

Well, it is that time again.  Time that I go through all of the kids' clothes (and a few of mine) and sell the ones that no longer fit... Time to get ready for that annual School Shopping Trip!

This year instead of selling them on Ebay I thought 

I would give an Insta-Sale a try...

so starting Tuesday, July 22 my sale will start and last until Tuesday, July 29th.

If you want in on the sale, follow my new IG account!

The One with Door Designs by Stephanie

Meet my friend, Stephanie!

She is a beautiful and talented woman who has been busy making some awesome wreaths!!!

There is nothing that she cannot do!

Door Designs by Stephanie Facebook Page

In her words...

"I got started making wreaths because I wanted a big pretty

 Christmas wreath and as I was looking for one I thought "I can 

make this myself." After I made a few for myself my younger sister 

Micah asked me to make her one that was burlap and colorful and 

of course if I made her one then I had to make all 5 of my sisters 

one. As I posted them people loved them and kept asking if I would 

make them one. Although it began as an accident, it has been such 

an enormous blessing in my life. It feels great to witness people 

getting excited and loving something "I" made for them, I love 

meeting new people and rekindling relationships with old friends! 

I am inspired by each client's personal style and love when they try 

out fun bright colors and unique designs!

If you don't see exactly what you are looking for shoot me a

message!

If you find a wreath that you love and you can't afford the price,

 send me a message and we can figure something out. I can make 

a smaller size, not use as many different ribbons of color and use

 less fabric and make it thinner. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you reward me the honor to

 brighten your door!"

Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; it is the power of

 God's word, salvation for everyone who believes

Sitting: at our table drinking coffee and catching up on blogs

Listening: to our lovely dogs barking

Wishing: I could hire someone to come do my hair & makeup daily :)

Looking forward to: church this morning

Reading: 2 Joyce Meyer books & 1 Nicholas Sparks book

Praying: for sweet, precious, baby Heath

Craving: nothing...I've got my coffee!

Saving: for a trip to Disney World this December

Wondering: what I'm going to wear to church....also wishing I would've planned that out last night.

Putting off: laundry

Dreaming: I'm living the dream right now....I love my little family.

Regretting: not working out this weekend

The One with the Trip to Gigi's

This is my summer's picture of happiness.

After not being in a swimsuit for 2 years....I bought a new one and embraced my flaws and spent some time swimming with my children.

It was bliss.

My mom called and was talking about how much she missed the kids....so I rearranged plans...and took off to visit her for a few days.

The kids had so much fun.  

I think Mom had a little bit of fun too....

My parents have this swing in their backyard and the kids spent lots of time swinging.

We went to the track to walk and Jonah caught a grasshopper.

Olivia loved on my parent's dog, Lila.

Jonah also caught a frog in my parent's backyard the next day.

He's 100% All-American Boy....

Then we met up with my brother and sister-in-love and went swimming!

Uncle Thad

We had the best time!! I'm so glad that we went to visit!!

Okay....now this is random...but when you visit your parents are there certain glasses that you use....that just makes it feel like home?

These are the ones that the kids and I usually pick from their cabinet.

 I hope you all are having a lovely Fourth of July Weekend!

xoxoxo....
