I am in a random mood.

Kevin is at youth group & I am watching The Bachelor and having a (much needed) glass of wine.
It has started to rain (again).
Here is some Monday Night Randomness for you:
Kate would eat chocolate chip z-bars (or pancakes) for every meal if we let her.

I have almost finished my semi-annual closet clean out.

These hangers are now empty:
I LOVE cleaning out stuff. LOVE it. Bye-bye clutter.
Here is our stash that we are have for Goodwill.
Here is my Magazine stash that I just threw in the recycle bin.....
People, Parenting, Parents, Rachael Ray, Family Fun Magazine.
This was the stack that I have had since September that I HAVEN'T read! I kept piling them up and it was stressing me out. So, I recycled them all & it felt so good. Let's just say I WON'T be renewing my subscriptions when they come up.

In the past week, I have created a bunch of new designs for my Etsy shop.
Here are two of my favorites:
and:
I will be adding more in the next few weeks once I have the time to sit down & work on them!

Last week, Julie sent Kate this outfit for her birthday, isn't it cute?!? Thank you, Julie! I can't wait for the weather to warm up & stop raining so she can wear it!
Last week was also Doppelganger week on Facebook. Doppelganger means your celebrity look alike. I don't have a celebrity look alike. But my husband does!
Kevin = Kurt Warner

Please tell me you agree with me that they look alike!

Check out Claire's hair. It has so much body, I think it is going to be curly.
What do you think? I am not used to this, I have stick straight boring hair.
Claire got her first cold, not too bad for 17 months. It is just a runny nose, but since it is her first ever, I will officially say this is her first time getting sick.
Yesterday was my younger sister Rebecca's 26th birthday.
We had a Superbowl/Birthday party for her at my parents yesterday it was fun! I was the only one there who was rooting for the Saint!
Speaking of Rebecca, she started a blog on New Year's Day called The Beck Beat.
She will be blogging about her 30 things before 30 list. You can read about all the fun things she does! I will be living vicariously through her fun adventures!
Which reminds me I want to make a 35 things before 35 list. (oh wow, that sounds old!!)
At the Superbowl party, we did a point grid & randomly picked boxes to put our initials in. Either Kevin or I won each Quarter. And, the most bizzare thing about it was whenever the score changed, it landed on me or Kevin. What are the chances?!? We should have gone to Vegas!
Anyone want our lab?
She puked 2 times this past week. All over my carpet.
She is free to a good home ;)
My heart is very heavy for one of my dear friends.
If you are someone who prays, please pray for her.
I took this picture of the clouds today as I was praying for her.
In the midst of darkness & despair, there is light & hope.

Kate has been resistant to nap, but still needs one.
She had "room time" for the past 2 days.
This is how I found her:

The evidence tells me she isn't quite ready to give up her nap!
