Random Thoughts

* Twice in the past week I've taken meat out of the freezer to thaw for a particular night's dinner, and both times found the meat to still be a big frozen meaty brick when I went to begin cooking. What's up with that?

* I'm trying to get better about clipping coupons and being intentional about doing things to save money. If anyone has any creative and particularly useful ideas, I'm all ears!

* Wednesday night I started a Bible study at my sister-in-law's church - "Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed," by Priscilla Shirer, Beth Moore, and Kay Arthur. It's amazing so far. I'm really excited, because my quiet devotional times have been somewhat (okay.....very) disorganized and scattered since Leah was born.

* Leah loves playing with her cloth diapers that I use as burp cloths. I used to do that when I was little, too, so it's really cute to watch her.

* I'm using Fuzzi Bunz cloth diapers when we're at home. They're really great.

* Yesterday I went walking with a friend at a park nearby. It was amazing and very encouraging to see all of the other moms there with their kids. For the first time, really, I felt like I'm not the only one doing this whole "stay-at-home Mom" thing.

* Leah is starting to roll over and she's actually interested in her toys now!

* I need to get a sewing project bag or something. I've been keeping my fabric and tools and all in....literally....a WalMart bag. It works, but it's not very attractive. A sewing shop in town has some on sale this week, so I'm going to go look today.

A family friend did these for us......and we're THRILLED with them. If you live in the area, give Mr. Wallace a call. He's great to work with, and obviously his work is wonderful! His site is capturedimagephotography.biz.
