Good news!! Lisa Leonard is generously offering a $50 gift certificate from her lovely shop to one of you fine readers!
There are so many cute things to choose from so prepare yourself. My favorite---this personalized Sweetheart Tree necklace. I've pretty much worn it every day since it arrived. : )
It reminded me of this little sweetheart tree I made out of felt, a five gallon bucket, and a whole lotta hot glue. It lives in our non-working fireplace. Maybe I'll start a collection of cute tree stumps.

Be Strong Take Courage
This weekend we headed to the country where the boys spent some much needed time outside and I enjoyed the quiet inside.
I journaled and sketched and watched this Josh Garrels/Mason Jar Music video probably a dozen times.
This guy. I don't know who he is but this look on his face gets me every time. Maybe it's the point in the song when he stops worrying about hitting the right notes and just realizes how beautiful the music is. I don't know, but I like it. And there's probably something I should learn from it.
And I added this new print to the shop. I've had this in mind for a long time and it was good to finally get it on paper.
There's probably something I should learn from this one too.

Full Bellies Tired Hearts
Our bellies are full of beans and rice
(Lentils and rice breakfast)
(Rice pudding birthday treat)
(Lentil and rice soup with leftover veggies)
(And more beans)
And our hearts are ready for a some time away. We've spent the day packing for a little trip to the country. And when we've needed a break, we've enjoyed the bit of sunshine and warmish air that's found it's way to our neck of the woods. Moving this chair from the back to the front of the house to follow the sun and opening the windows to enjoy the first hints of spring air.
Enjoy your weekend and your Easter!

A Little Video
I wanted to show you guys this video that Daniel and I were a part of creating. Disclaimer: I know way less than I probably should about this issue. Politics make my stomach hurt and this conflict is a very complicated, heart-breaking one. So I am not posting this to make a political statement. Rather I just wanted to show it to you because I was involved on a creative level. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings or make you angry so if you have comments about the issue, please leave them on the youtube page, not my blog. Thanks!

Beans And Rice Week
This week everyone who attends Crossroads Church is voluntarily eating the diet of sustenance that so much of the world has to live on every day. We're then pooling the money we all save by not eating out and buying our regular groceries to give to do some amazing things in Cincinnati and the world. With somewhere around 15,000 people attending Crossroads weekly, we can make a biiiiig change.
Like picking up the tab on all the Compassion International kids who were assigned sponsors who dropped the ball. Those kids just go hungry. We figured out that, with the money we save eating beans and rice for just one week, our family will be able to feed one Compassion kid for more than 6 months. Geeeez.
So check out #beansandriceweek on Instagram and twitter to see the love and watch the magic happen and consider rallying a group of friends to do your own beans and rice fast. It'll be fun! Happy beans and rice week!

Jude O'clock
We started a tradition a while back. 2:00 is Jude o'clock. I stop what I am doing and play what Jude wants to play. Some days it works just like that. Some days admittedly are too busy. Some days it's moved up to 10:00 or 11:45. Some days I decide what we'll play because the thought of setting up and tearing down another blanket fort sounds like too much work and I just wanna share a brownie at the coffee shop instead.
But it's always good.
Our go-to faves---blanket forts, Legos, trains, cartoons, and building blocks.
I confess, sometimes it's really hard for me to stop and play. I wanna get stuff done. But something tells me Jude o'clock is probably one of the best uses of my time. : )
