This weekend we're hosting a gingerbread house party. To prepare, I purchased a whole bunch of candy, graham crackers, and icing. I also crapted a couple of origami boat ornaments. They were folded from magazine paper. My little boats were inspired by this origami boat necklace that I won in a recent blog giveaway. (First time I won one of these giveaways, hooray!)
I also made a bunch of psuedo Christmas crackers out of my ever growing pile of paper towel rolls. Each guest is going to take one home as a gift. Inside the cracker they'll find a balloon, a corny Christmas joke, a snowflake, cute band-aids and a couple of candies. I think traditional crackers are supposed to pop, but I couldn't find the cracker snaps, so mine will just look cute.
Hope you have a great weekend. See you on Monday!

So... what do you do all day?
As a stay-at-home mommy, I always seem to get asked this question: "So... what do you do all day?" I never really know what to say, eat bon-bons and shop online? (Just kidding. I wish.) Usually I just mumble something about housework or going out.
Yesterday, I set my mind to capture what I actually do every day. After seeing the "Picture an hour" series on Bluebird Vintage, I thought I'd also try taking a photo every hour of my "work" day.
So, for those of you who are curious about the exciting world of homemaking, here's what one stay-at-home mom does at work.
8:15- Hubby came home and then we put Baby Chuck down to sleep.
So there you have it- a typical day with Baby Chuck and me.

Guest Post at About Proximity
Today I'm writing a guest post on my friend Lisa's blog, About Proximity. Lisa and I met in Michigan and she's seriously one of the warmest and kindest people I've ever met. Because of her openness to share about her faith and life, I felt that her blog was the perfect place to share about my decision to quit my PhD program.
