Counting My Blessings Day 14

My favorite Blessings are my nephews and nieces.
This one here is my Squirt.
I held him when he was 30 minutes old and it was love at first sight.
He has held my heart ever since.
I called him little squirt that minute; he was "little squirt" until he told me he was not little anymore, he was about 5 when that happened, he is now  7.
 So from then on  it is just "squirt" :)
This is us last Thanksgiving making his Christmas List.
We do it together after dinner at "pie time".
He has such a heart for Jesus.
I pray he always will.
One night during his prayers he prayed that his cousin "baby nugget"
(other wise known as Layden)
"Would grow up to be a strong man of God."
That took my breath away.
I love you with all my heart Squirt,
may you always know that .
May you always walk with God.
I love you infinity + 1.
You are my blessing everyday.
I thank you Lord for giving him to us.
Blessing.

I miss my Blogging Girlfriends

 Life got busy. Even during all the mess of 2020. I miss blogging, crafting and all the friends I made doing SWAPS, Pink Saturday, Commenting on others posts. It's been too long. My guy keeps telling me I need to do what I love, and what I enjoy. He is right. That's exactly what I need. So I am gonna visit the still active blogs of all the lovely ladies I have missed and hopefully we will reconnect. I hope to talk to you soon! Jenny

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make
