{TuTu Tuesday} Aqua and Orange Easter

I hate to admit it, but it's been a while since I've made my little princess a TuTu of her own.

On the eve of Easter, I decided it was time to play dress up with my favorite doll. I made her a TuTu in aqua, turquoise, orange and white with a matching decOrate headband. Both the TuTu and headband were accented with orange zebra print ribbon.

Here she is, patiently waiting for me to finish snapping pictures so she could go on her hunt.

I personally don't think it gets much cuter than a poofy TuTu waddling around looking for eggs. I wanted to eat her up!

{Music Monday} Take It All

Happy Monday, Everyone!

WARNING

Today's song is super catchy. If you listen, you will be singing this song all day, I promise.

Since yesterday's Easter service, the kids and I have been jamming to this song non-stop. Our youth band sang it live and, I have to say, they're more than just pretty good. I'm so proud of them!!! I'll share the link to our service as soon as it's on.

{TuTu Tuesday} First timer

I know what you're thinking. "Is she seriously coming up with cheesy blog post names for every day of the week?"

Well, yes.

And if you know me, this will not surprise you.

A day where I look back at some of my favorite pieces or showcase a new product I'm working on.

For today, my very first tutu. Well, not the 'very' first one. (That one was made out of the tulle someone wrapped a shower gift with.) This is the first one I had my little girl wear in public.

Here she is modeling one of my creations for the very first time at Pizza Pie Co. in Alachua, FL. (best Pizza and brownies ever!) The owner gifted me a onesie when I was pregnant so I could bring the baby wearing it when we came back.

I've come a long way, but I'm still so proud of this little tutu. My baby girl was so comfortable in it and she had no shortage of compliments.

Oh my, How we've both grown since this photo!

{Music Monday} In Christ Alone

Just in time for Easter, today's song is one we've been singing at my place for weeks as my team is singing it at church on Sunday.

Even my little Zia can sing a little jibberish to the tune. Joakim has been heard at stores singing at the top of his lungs while I shop. And you know what? I love it! I love to hear these words coming out of their lips.

I hope you find your way to a church this Sunday. If you don't have a church of your own, feel free to borrow mine (www.therockonline.org) and watch us sing this song live Sunday morning at 10:00 am.

{Feature-a-Friend Friday} CouponGurl

It's been a few weeks since I sat down to post on a Friday (been outdoors enjoying this amazing weather with the family...)

Today, I'm featuring my friend Dina who is a contributor for the site www.coupongurl.com.

I've known Dina and her gorgeous family personally for a little over 5 years and I just love how loving and down to earth they are! I recently stumbled upon an email from 2009 when my 1 year old son was battling asthma where Dina wrote to tell me she was praying for him. It meant so much to me, especially since my son was completely HEALED! I'm blessed to have friends like Dina.

You'll love getting to know her too!

Together with site founder Julie, Dina posts about great deals and coupons for the average family trying to be savvy about their money in these financially difficult times.

Their {inspiration}

Julie started posting about a year and a half ago after witnessing a lady at publix spend $40 for over $250 worth of groceries. "After a little research we found you can save on just about everything. So the site was started to share the deals we found with our friends and family."

The two looove sharing the coupon/great deal finds. "We get too excited about a deal and feel the need to share it. It fulfills our need of helping others even though it's through cyber space."

Their site offers a wide variety of savings and deals from grocery coupons, target deals, various online stores and printable store coupons. Look for Coupongurl on Facebook or visit their site at www.coupongurl.com
