This has been a week of opportunity.
Interesting and unexpected
and many
favorite things.
I found out yesterday that I have the opportunity to go to
Relevant 11
{yes, it’s next week}
I have prayed about this for months and months and months.

I haven’t the funds, it isn’t in the budget
and yet, I’ve got almost half potentially sponsored
within 8 hours.

My prayer is to find the remaining funds

so that I could go this year.
The whole opportunity leaves me feeling blessed and grateful.
So grateful
whether I get to go or not
just grateful for so many people trying to get me there.

This all came about while
I was making earrings with little beads with my Gracie
We took Thursday and Friday off

And it became a favorite thing.

liked my post using their bottle in
and put it on their facebook wall.
Crazy how my stat meter number shot up.
And who would have ever planned that one’s blog post would get put on
a wall with over 90,000 fans.
Super cool. Can you guess when the Izze post hit facebook? 🙂
Love these boys of mine.
Even when they dump out all the books.
At least they were reading.
A lot.

And Samuel.
Love.
How could he not be a favorite thing?
Thank you so much
for sending Samuel
this treasure of
gluten free goodies.
He was beyond blessed
{and they taste amazing}
Oh, yeah, and that Elijah of mine
{he ate some of those fruit snacks}

This week he has been a gem.
Helping out.
He really picked up most of those books.
Samuel kept pulling them off.

He is so totally awesome.
And fills my heart with joy.
So much joy.
And that’s a favorite thing.

And that’s a favorite thing.

i am so excited about your opportunity!!! i really really really hope you can go. bring on the sponsors! you have to tell me ALL about it. i’m not joking. : )
we have almost all of those books i see pictured. love them.
i enjoy jewelry making. when i was in middle school i had a business called “carissa’s creations.” and of course i only used one “c” and both words came off of it. i was so savvy. ha! jewelry making is so cool. can’t wait to see the creations. (meaning, you better post them. ha!)
between annie’s and izze, you are already famous!
love you all!
so many neat things in this pist .. and wow on the stats going up when it got posted on facebook … wow!
Love them all. And, I didn’t know Annie’s made so many gluten free things! Every kid, gluten free or not, should get to have mac and cheese from a box 😀
Hoping you get to go!! What a great opportunity!! Jewelry making sounds like fun!!
Sounds like an exciting week. I love Amy’s organic food and my kids do too.
I hope you get to go, that would be such a blessing.
What a lot of great things you have got going on at the moment! Love the photos 🙂
