Well, we enjoyed a fun surprise on Tuesday that caused me to go out and hurriedly make a pink cake before Dwight got home from work. The reason? Well... we found out we are having another little girlie in March, and that is how Daddy was going to find out! :-) (That was the plan anyway, I accidentally blurted it out when Dwight was teasing me... so hopeless at hiding reactions!) I had no

Happy Fall to you! Isn't Fall amazing? I love the sound of crunchy leaved as we step on them, the smell of baking pumpkin in the air (Libby's pumpkin factory is a few blocks away!), and the cool days that leave me wanting to curl up with a blanket and a cup of tea (is it nap time yet?). God has been so good to us amidst this crazy year and we are left very thankful and humbled by His mercy to us.

Hey there! Could you all be in prayer for us? We are in process of accepting a job Dwight was offered (I'd prefer to not give specifics till the paperwork has all been finalized, but it is for a small ministry in central Illinois that was seeking a CPA), and life is a bit craaaazy right now with trying to find housing and packing and all. We found out yesterday that they would like him to start

Zachary is all boy... it is so much fun! And he is a very happy lil' guy at that, always laughing or smiling (well, unless he is starving or needs changed, but that is very understandable!). And hungry? Well, he is hungry all the time - definitely a boy! I am so thankful for our buddy and that God allowed him to get past those early scary days to be a healthy and strong boy who we pray will be a

I love having a little girl who wants to be just like Mum... wanting a spritz of perfume when I'm getting ready for the day, taking my purse (filled with her things) outside with her to play ( lol, my handbag becomes a shoulder bag!), stepping on every bug she sees to ensure it dies, laughing like me, feeding/ holding/ diaper-changing her baby doll, cooking and baking (with her very own apron

I don't know if any of you use Vocal Point, but it is a great way to get a variety of free samples to try of both food and personal/ household items. One time we got a sample of Kashi along with some high-savings coupons. Another time I was able to pair the coupons they sent with a sale to get over 5 boxes of Kleenex for free. Not bad, eh? Right now their promotion is for Glad trash bags. Vocal

When my family came to visit last weekend, Katie brought her camera, and I just can't resist posting a few of the shots she sent (with more to come!). I am so thankful for my lil' family. God has been so gracious and merciful to us. I won't pretend otherwise... life with no job (or income) in sight can be hard at times - but He is faithful, and these lil' ones along with their incredible daddy

It seems crazy to us that it is already getting to be the end of March. But we are so excited! Our days keep busy with our two lil' monkeys. Chloe and Zachary sure wear us out, but they make us smile and laugh, too. I love them so much! God is so good to us! Chloe is our adventurous little girl who is s-l-o-w-l-y learning cheerful obedience. She turned 18 months on the 20th and loves being Mum's

Yesterday I was browsing around online for a bit and was inspired to begin dreaming up a sewing project that will probably not happen for a bit yet, but was fun to think about anyways! I rediscovered a website called Shabby Apple, that sells amazingly lovely dresses. Although I wouldn't say I would wear all of them, there were a few that definitely caught my eye! So now the inspiration they

... is fun but tiring! :-) For a bit there they were sleeping great, but then they both decided to switch off their waking up times at night so that mama was getting up every hour (or less). Yawn. We were a bit nervous about how Chloe would respond to another littler one around, but she loves Zachary to pieces, and loves giving him kisses, worries about him when he cries, and wants to check up on

2 days shy of 40 weeks The big sister! She's been playing with baby and becoming good friends with her Aunt Hannah.  She will even ask her to hold her! With Mama... she is one big girlie.  She wears 2T already (and sometimes 3T). It is fun hearing her jabber and see her run.

Just a few days shy of 37 weeks! :-D I'm not coordinated enough to take a self-picture AND smile... :-P So Dwight took this one. :-) There is no point in taking pictures from the front, because from that angle I don't look pregnant. I don't know where these babies hide (Chloe was the same way - though they do seem to enjoy pressing against my tailbone), but it is nice that I can still wear

Chloe was acting like she just needed a change of pace and to get out of the apartment for a bit, so we went to the tennis-court-turned-park for some pictures. :-) She doesn't really want to smile for the camera, but I think she is cute nonetheless. :-)  Gotta love her hair, and the drool. ;-)  Here you go, Mum! Everything goes in the mouth...  She looks so serious.  I love her

You can check out her kitchen transformation for yourself HERE, but here is the jist of it. She is renting, had ugly & dark cabinets there and wanted them to be white.

It is not your business to succeed, but to do right; when you have done so, the rest lies with God. - C.S. Lewis Life has been pretty busy around here lately.

They are also giving away free chicken and pizza at some point, but I can't find the details about that... Hum... so do we need

Our third day was much quieter, as we were a bit tired. ;-) {I can't blame her for not being too sure about it all— new place, new noises and it got down to about 40 at night - it was in the upper 80's/low 90's during the day.} After our lil' campsite breakfast we loaded everything up, went on a longer hike and then began our drive back to Colorado Springs. We couldn't wait to be back home!

After breakfast on Saturday we loaded up and headed to Estes Park to go to the Rocky Mountain National Park for two days. It was so beautiful! We even decided on our way out to switch to a year pass, since we knew it was definitely a place to head back to. So we can go back as often as we want now! It is about 3 hours from home. *Btw, when pregnant you do have to be careful at high altitude. ;-

For the first day of our trip we headed up to Denver (a bit over an hour from home) where we went to a mall (hello, Anthropologie!), ate a scrumptious dinner at Maggiano's Little Italy (Bruchetta, Caesar Salad, Pesto Linguini, Parmesan Chicken and Creme Brulée), walked a bit on 16th St. Mall and stayed overnight downtown.

It's here, it's here! Sorry, but the giddiness factor in this Bailey household is about to go through the roof. The weekend I've been planning for and saving for for many, many months has arrived! This will be the first time that Dwight and I have ever gone anywhere overnight that didn't involve extended family or friend's— not that those weren't wonderful— but this time it is just us (and our

We have quite a bit of cream cheese thanks to the fantastic deal going on at Kroger stores right now (Yup, we were paid $0.10 to bring 10 packages home with us. ;-P Not too shabby, eh? And that is without any coupons!) so I thought bagels would be tasty. Chloe wanted to help me knead the dough, and Dwight took pictures. She loves to help us, eat with us, do anything we are doing!

I am continually amazed my just how fun, life-changing, and fulfilling mommyhood is. I love my lil' dolly so much. We thank the Lord for her daily and definitely don't take her or "Sproutsie" for granted! I do admit it, though, that dressing her, playing with her hair, etc. is WAY too enjoyable. Poor girl, it probably causes her trauma. :-P But the other day I began to think that *just maybe* it

So today we dressed up in our black and white and went to Chik-fil-a to celebrate "Cow Appreciation Day" and to hopefully be given some free lunch. ;-) Chloe received her very 1st Kid's meal and she was so proud of her little cow toy. And I really do have spots, I promise. Chloe just helped herself to any that were within reach as I was holding her while waiting in line. :-P

I *love* the Bumgenius AIO Organic diaper - and it has snaps, too! [Very important with Chloe.] If I could, I would only diaper with it, it really is that great. :-) I have three that I've been using at night with Chloe, and we're getting more for Sprout, but hey, FREE would be marvelous! They are a bit on the pricey side, so this is a very generous giveaway. I love that they fit 7-35 lbs, you

Yup. Chloe sure is. :-) Seriously, she keeps us on our toes and it is imperative to glance at her if she is being quiet. Two weeks ago she began climbing - I turned around to look at her and she was sitting on top of a crate! Yikes! Now, she is determined to master chairs. Oh boy. :-P And earlier this week she was sitting at my feet, quietly playing (or so I thought) while I talked with Katie on

So, I'm not for sure how long these will be available, but if you become a fan of Champps on Facebook, they say that you'll be emailed a coupon for a free hamburger (supposedly no purchase necessary to redeem it, either). Anyways, we gave it a shot! In case you are interested, the link is HERE. I've only been there once (Was that the last World Cup?! No... Manchester was playing one of the games.

I've had several friends ask if I would share "our story" of how God brought Dwight and I together. So here you go!. I'm sorry it is SO lengthy!  I'll work on condensing it. Maybe when the kids are all grown and I have LOTS of spare time. ;-) It is my prayer that it would be a blessing and encouragement to trust the Lord in all things. It has been a happy reminder to me even as I've typed it out!

Our girlie is on the move. :-) She loves to hold on to our hands and walk, and can now pull herself up to standing and even cruise a bit! She is a lot of fun. :-) Except she has two teeth right about to pop out (C'mon teeth! Quit agonizing all of us!), and no amount of pain relief is helping. Poor baby! She also seems to have some Canadian/ English influence. ;-) I'm "Mum." :-)  (Hehe... she's

Personally, I kind of like just having one car for our family. I find it so freeing to just be home, and I don't feel "stuck" at all. I think that idea is so funny. :-P Sure, it means I can't just hop in to go visiting or shopping, but I can still have people over, and I'm sure it saves us a lot of money. I do like to shop. :-D  I love how it gives me more time to play with Chloe, work on the

I guess it pays off to enter contests. :-) Sometimes you win! I LOVE my Beco baby carrier. Chloe does too (always a plus!). It is so great to be able to have my hands free to clean and do dishes when she is fussy and clingy, I feel more secure with her when I'm out shopping (i.e., never have to worry about turning my head away from her while I grab milk or something off the shelves), and it

I love to cook. But I still have a hard time sometimes pulling together menus that are healthy, nice, and within our budget. :-) Sure, I would love to make our vinaigrettes, etc. from scratch, but really... when they call for all kinds of ingredients that aren't typically found in pancakes, it's cheaper for me to buy an organic bottle from the store with a coupon. :-P So I'm learning to be

Yes, this is a topic I'm currently *enthralled* with. :-) And saving over $75 (by matching coupons, catalinas & sales) on our last grocery/ household shopping trip was an encouragement! (Although how much I did spend was not. Argh!)  I have so much to learn, and I really want to start getting the paper someday for more coupons...

 So last night was a not-so-great night. :-( Several months ago we noticed that Chloe was really fussy and spit-uppy after I ate an egg sandwich one night and then an omelete the next, so I've been avoiding anything that was mainly egg. Except for last night. I was dumb and made custard and ate some of it. Six hours later = fussiness, crying, congestion, coughing, and projectile vomiting. Ugh. We

We love the chance to be with him during the day and sometimes the speaker/ music is worthwhile. ;-) Friday was good as they were honoring Dr. and Mrs. Dobson for their work beginning FotF and saying good-bye to them as they begin their new ministry.

Okay. So be prepared for a weird post. This one is about why I love cloth diapers... #1.  We are saving SOOOOOOOO much money. (Or at least we will by the time she is out of them) The extra o's there may be overkill, but it gets the point across. :-P Seriously though, this is my stash: I'm not for sure what the cost would be if I used regular ones, because I have no idea how many diapers she goes

Love to me is (a certain someone)... * going through a bag of messy (cloth) diapers in search of my wedding ring, and not minding having done all that even when the ring was found elsewhere. * not minding my random bursts of tears, and hugging me as I nearly drown him, and listening to me talk about whatever is bothering me. * being patient as I learn to keep the house and us, and not becoming

So, we were planning on moving this Saturday, and had a stack of packed boxes when we found out we might not be moving after all! Oh well. :-) I guess our neighbor hasn't been paying rent, so they may have been evicted, but we don't know yet and are just kind of waiting until we find out for sure either way. The joys of apartment living. :-) I have several ideas that I want to do or learn how to

How did I celebrate 2009 becoming 2010? I kissed Dwight good-night and fell asleep. Way before that clock struck midnight. And I'm sure I probably woke up either shortly before or after that infamous hour, but honestly, I didn't care. I love sleep! I guess I'm not a terribly exciting person. :-P What did you do? :-)

Is it just me, or is the thought of 2010 just a bit strange? It’s like, hello? What happened to the last twelve months? :-) At our last life-group, one of the guys asked if everyone would share what God had taught them in this past year. One thing I really like about our group is that they are more than just a ton of fun, they are open about who they are and what God is doing. But anywho, that

Thanks to Money-Saving Mom, I was able to download this book for free. :-) Now to just find the time to read it! :-P It is about the power of a wife in praying for her husband - and I want to learn to pray for Dwight better each day! So, I haven't read it, and henceforth am not exactly endorsing it yet, but Mary K. Mohler endorses it on the website, which rates pretty high in my book. ;-)

Excerpts from Hold On, by 33 Miles. . . Don't be afraid, You'll make it through, Just call out to me and I'll come running to you! Hold on, hold on! When the current pulls you under, And your heart beats like thunder. Just give me your hand, And hold on, hold on! Until the storm is over, And I'll be fighting for you. Just give me your hand and, Hold on! I'll give you hope, I'll give you faith

If you are interested, check it out for yourself - the cake on the cover does look pretty good. :-) Thankfully, there aren't any real food allergies in our family, but I'd still love to learn to cook for those (we have friends in Lifegroup with Celiac) who do.

Okay, so this is a big splurge for me, since my Amazon gift cards (courtesy of Swagbucks - see below if you aren't familiar with that - you'll want to be!!!) are verified, but not posted yet. Which means I actually have to pay for them, err. But anyways, Amazon has been having a select group of magazines on sale for $5.00 (yes, for a year's subscription!) for Christmas, and each week it is a

So I am finally getting around to sharing some things with y'all that I've found - it has been a bit busy with traveling and all - and with a new cutie that thinks she is the energizer bunny and needs no sleep at all. *not quite, darling!* Her poor little dream world was shattered when I let her fuss herself to sleep yesterday - but I needed a break! :-) Thankfully, she slept much, much better

At checkout, type onefree (yup, as of today this would still work) into the promo code box, and you only have to pay shipping ($8.95). :-) They typically sell on this website for $32.00 + shipping, so this is a great deal.

Of course, when we think we don't have what we want to have, what we think we ought to have, we are being discontented with the state God has put us in. The antidote to discontentment is thankfulness and giving up our own way, our own ideas of what we think we have to have. We get God from that. We get His grace. - Elisabeth ElliotThe opposite of poverty (is not wealth, it) is enough. -

Hi there! :-) Thank you all *so* much for praying for us as we (okay, I) impatiently waited for the arrival of our baby and these past weeks as we've begun to adjust to life with her. (I say begun, because sure enough- just when you think you've "got it" you're in for a surprise... hehe!) She is an absolute joy - I love seeing her Daddy in her looks and seeing her smile, grin, laugh and squeal.

I love being mama to our lovely baby girl. She was born at 2 a.m. on Sunday, September 20th. She was a big lil' girl, weighing in at 8 lbs. and 12 oz., with a length of 21.5 inches.She has dark hair and eyelashes, big expressive eyes, chubby cheeks, a beautiful smile & loves to snuggle. We are so happy to have her join our little family! -Your Whole Life Long - I pray the Lord will hold you

I am pleased to announce that I have a very content little one... I guess. ;-P Baby likes it in there (perhaps the coziness of being all scrunched up?!?), and wants to stay awhile.I have to admit that I'm surprised, my midwife said that she was shocked, too! Baby dropped a bit over 4 weeks ago, and my midwife says she rarely sees a baby continue with his/her head so firmly engaged for this long.

Is it just me, or did anyone else out there go through a weepy phase as labor approached? Or even throughout their pregnancy? It is funny and pathetic, I can just start crying over nothing (well, okay, I feel a tad stupid so I bottle it up, and then it becomes more like a l-o-n-g *sob on poor Dwight* session), am ultra sensitive, and feel completely overwhelmed about the prospect of caring for

Today marks 37 weeks and our little baby is happy, healthy, and wiggly (though the wiggles are slightly impaired due to a fully engaged head). :-) We are so grateful, God has blessed us far beyond what we deserve, and we treasure this little one so much and pray that he/she will grow to love the Lord with all their heart and live for Him their whole life!I wondered if I had dropped 2 weeks ago,
