My daughter is at that age where she is really taking an interest in playing house with her little plastic princesses. I would love to buy her a dollhouse, but I just don't have the room or the money for something like that. Instead, I bought a pdf file on Etsy to make my own out of cardboard (fancy). While I'm waiting for the file to be sent to me, I decided we should probably look into making furniture for the dollhouse. It will be fun and free! Well, kinda fun and free since I had to buy the paints, paintbrushes and eggs for their carton.
Here is a picture of them all painted up and drying:
My daughter helped me paint some of them.
And when she wasn't looking I may have touched them up a little...
Here she is painting and mixing water and making me "coffee."
Baby boy was in his bouncer chewing on frozen blueberries in his mesh feeder.
And after letting them dry, we got to put them together!
I found the instructions for these here:

So... I have been thinking of starting a blog for a really long time now. I've also been wanting to really get involved with my children and reach their hearts, and I think blogging will keep me accountable. It will (hopefully) remind me to take pictures and slow down on the cleaning and focus on my parenting. Especially now that I'm a single mom. I want to prove that a single mom CAN raise decent and godly children.
I also want to remind everyone, I am essentially a first generation Christian in my family. I was not raised in a faith-based home. Sure, my mom taught me about God and Christianity and took me to church for a few months when her and my dad got back together after a separation, and I do believe that was the beginning of my journey, but it was not a big part of my life like I hope for it to be with my children. I know I'll screw up along the way, probably daily, but I just have to keep going.
I hope you enjoy my blog and hopefully I can inspire someone along the way.
