Friday Favorites

Friday is here!  I’m sure you are as excited as I am.  After a busy few weeks I am extremely excited for a weekend with no commitments.  Cue the naps!  Here is what I’m loving this week:

1. Blueberry Picking

I took the boys to pick blueberries this week and to them it was basically like Christmas.  My older son is begging to go back already.  Our blueberries made it into a few recipes this week.

2. Slugs & Bugs Sing the Bible Vol. 2 Kickstarter

As I mentioned on Tuesday on of our favorite kid’s songwriter Randall Goodgame is coming out with a new CD.  Just like the last one this one is full of great songs with lyrics straight from the Bible.  Our boys love the fun songs and I love that learning these songs is planting seeds of truth in their hearts.  We pledged this past week to support the Kickstarter for Slugs & Bugs Sing the Bible Volume 2.  These videos are from Volume 1 but they give you an idea of what the CDs will be like.

3. New Planner

I’m just a teensy bit type A and I love a good planner.  I picked my new one out at Target last week and began using it this week and I LOVE it.

4. Penguin Fabric

I made a few baby gifts for a friend this week and I’m mailing them off today.  The penguin fabric that I used for some of them may be one of my favorites.  If you’re interested in sewing some baby gifts yourself check out my Baby Bib Tutorial.  I included a free printable pattern to make things easy.

5. How God Takes Our Dark Stories and Turns Them into Light {a.k.a. You Were Made to Sparkle} by Sarah Mae

I love hearing others’ stories.  Sometimes I struggle with sharing out of my own past pains and hurts but I’m hoping to be more open and more bold in sharing myself.  “Our stories aren’t just for us — they are for those who are hurting and in need of hope. ”

Hope you all have a great weekend and that you get to take a nap too!  I’m really looking forward to mine.
