We were blessed to take in this wonderful presentation. The music, the drama, the lighting and technical aspects of it were top notch. From the first note to the last, we were enthralled by the story that unfolded of the life of Moses. We sat in the isle seats where live animals often walked by and actors also performed all around us. The whole stage affects were just amazing.

At the end of the show, I was ready to give my standing ovation to the actors, but they never came out after curtains went down. I was confused and my friend told me it’s because their performance was for the Glory of God alone… that they didn’t want to be praised…that… is truly a testimony of christian faith.

All I can say was wow….I left the theatre feeling truly truely blessed.

Shane and I went to our town library while we waited for Chloe. I was getting myself a book and when I came back I found him here… in a swan chair.

spring in the backyard

Saturday, May 3rd, 2014

Spring is my favorite season because it reminds me of God’s creation and that there is new life after death because of Christ.

It’s so lovely to see blooms are popping out on bushes and trees, signaling the spring. It is an amazing thing to witness things coming alive before my very eyes.

This is our first spring in this house so I’m just so curious to see what else is blooming in the backyard and around the house!

chloe’s big girl room ~ { house update }

Saturday, April 12th, 2014

I wanted to give Chloe a pretty, playful and girly room to match her personality. She was involved in many of the decision making process including the lemon wall color.

She asked me for a canopy bed so I made her one. I asked my handy man to raise the bottom posts of her existing bed to match the height of the head board, then I hung a white canopy I got from Ikea and cut it up and sewed bedding sheets I bought from Serena & Lilly onto it and hang them.

Pom pom trim is from from M&J Trim store; my favorite stop whenever I’m in the city.

Chloe’s art works

I bought these vintage animal toys a while back wanting to make the containers. I saw this DIY project on pinterest.

Giraffe trinket dish from Anthro.

Zebra gold dish from Joathan Adler, Dyptyque Baises candle, & Chloe’s card to me. Yes, my nick name is ‘oh my darling’. 😉 (Yes, I made them call me that.)

Book case from Serena & Lily
