SassafrasSweet!
So, I've always been pretty crafty - or so I've been told. It's really theraputic for me and I love doing it! So, I decided to try my hand at an Etsy shop and I started a blog for my shop! And, right now, I have 2 giveaways going on.

Why?
I have never lived through divorce. My parents were high school sweethearts who showed their love everyday. I watched them and prayed for a man who I could love just as my mom loved my dad. In my 18 years at home, I remember only 1 argument. My parents kept their disagreements to themselves. As a wife, now, I see that importance.
So, while I can't relate to divorce, my husband can. He was 4 and remembers standing at the front door screaming for his mom to come back. It is something (that and other things) that has stuck with him to this day. He is an amazing father and husband and I know that his feelings, his broken heart from his parents decision makes him who he is.
I, too, have watched the disaster that is Jon and Kate Plus 8. My question is why? The kids are going to ask that question at some point too. Why was I not important enough for you to walk away from the show? Why were my siblings not important enough? Why did you let it get to this? Why? Why? Why?
Since I can't relate to the feelings, I'll let Leslie do all the talking. She's got some firsthand knowledge of what divorce can do to a child.

Give it a go!
School's out for summer, and for teachers like me, summer school starts next week. It lasts a month and is an easy paying job! I decided with this week off, I'd start potty training. Let me tell you how much of a nightmare Friday and Saturday were. So much so that we were willing to give it one more day and give up for a few more months. But then, Sunday, things turned around and he started telling us he needed to go. So far we have about 7 accidents but we also have 8 pee pees! He's getting the hang of it and we are really proud.
I think little boy underwears are about the cutest thing EVER! And boxer briefs for little guys are just about the most precious things ever!
Here's to hopefully a successful week!

She's a Rasavage!
Last weekend, my sweet cousin Katie got married to her best friend, Keal. They are obviously made by God for each other. Garrett, Reese and I have been lucky enough to watch the love story from the beginning, as we were the first people in Katie's family to meet Keal.
Enjoy the pictures from the weekend!
