A good nights work.

If I was a good blogger and if I wanted to be famous one day I would put a hyperlink to each of these cute crafty things I have been working on. Thankfully, I don't want to be famous and I know I'm not a good blogger so I'm going to save myself a lot of time and skip over hyperlink-ing. Some I found from Pinterest, others I found lodged deep inside of my brain. Here they are...

This idea I found on Pinterest. I already had the sticks and scrapbook paper is my best friend. Simple project. I'm going to fill the mason jar with candy hearts but I haven't made it to the store yet. 


This came from my brain and I am super excited of how cute it turned out. I surprise myself sometimes. 


Free printable I found on Pinterest and a frame I already had. I found the printable first and then decorated the rest of the apartment accordingly with the same colors. 


There is nothing cuter than baby clothespins. Sadly you can't see them in this picture but I love them. I had my roommate help me cut out hearts. Our entertainment center needed some attention. 


I saved my favorite for last. Melman my giraffe statue got a bow tie and a tag for some kisses. 

Simple decorations that added a lot to our apartment. I am excited for how they turned out!

Knowing thy IMPACT

One day I'll get around to sharing the story about how I applied for and got my new job. I have to say that it most certainly is 100% credited to my Heavenly Father and his plan for my life. Often we don't see the things we need in life until things are put into our path that lead us in a different direction. For the purpose of this post I wanted to share some thoughts being on the outside of the beginning of a new school year. This is mostly for my teacher friends and those who start teaching this year so if you get bored, please do yourself a favor and stop reading. Being a teacher is a tough gig. Daily we make thousands of split-second decisions and impact people in ways we will never fully know the extent of. John Hattie once said, "know thy impact." Each day you'll strive to be better than the day before. You'll hope and pray that your babies (students) will learn something more than just "things." We'll hope and pray that they learn how t...

A Letter to Asher Rae.

Baby Asher, Your momma is currently in labor and in a few hours you'll make your grand debut into this world. From the moment I knew you were coming I was in shock and how much my heart could grow. I work with sweet children all day and I love them so much. The love I already have for you is so different. You'll be the first grandchild of my parents, and you'll be my first ever niece. You're coming into a world that is incredibly hard and difficult. With your amazing parents in your life you'll be taught how to be strong and to be valiant in all circumstances. Your dad, my brother, is an excellent human being. He is dedicated, he is a dreamer, he is a hard worker, and he will be the most amazing father. Your mom is so beautiful. She is loving, she is patient, and she loves your dad so much. Your grandma, my mom, is SO excited for you. She will love you and spoil you, but she will also help you when things get hard. Your Grandma Forsyth is a tough woman. The toughes...

COVID

The world of COVID-19 has been a world I never imagined possible. While this time has taken away so many things I am grateful for the things it has given me. I've found my new normal and for someone who loves structure that has been a huge relief. I don't feel the need to do as much. I don't feel as rushed. I dropped my ipad on the tile today and cracked the screen pretty badly and I didn't even cry. Things have become things and my trips to Target don't seem as crucial anymore. I've been sewing. I thank my grandmas and my aunts for their love of sewing that is now ingrained on my heart. I watch a lot of TV. I do a lot of cooking. Who knew?
