HELLO!! Wow, so it is the LAST Tuesday in February already! I am telling ya, the rate at which life is speeding by me, this baby is going to be here in no time!
So here we go…this week’s edition of Ten on Tuesday.
1. I prefer crushed ice to cubed. Ten times out of ten I will choose crushed if given a choice!
2. I can not stand for lights, radios, fans, televisions – anything of that nature – to be on if it isn’t being used. Our house is super dark at night because the only lights that are ever on are the ones we are using!
3. I can NOT go to sleep to a radio. The TV yes, the radio no. I think my mind tries to follow along with the songs or something and can’t shut off when the radio is on!! I actually prefer to have total silence, but Chris is always up long past me so the TV is always on!
4. Does anyone out there have a Cricut? My mom just got one this past weekend and is having issues getting it to cut felt. Cutting felt is a MUST!! She has to be able to make fab hair creations for her two adorable granddaughters of course! Anyway, any tips from anyone that has one? And yes, I am totally jealous!! I can’t wait to get back to Kansas and help her get her money’s worth out of it!
5. I don’t like pulp in my orange juice. Totally random, yes, but I am having a glass right now.
6. I have a thing for red and turquoise together. LOVE that combo! A lot. So much so that I had a moment of weakness and bought Gentry this pair of pants on Etsy this weekend. I sooo wanted the bird shirt that coordinates with them, but I am going to get her a little red tank and jazz it up instead! I am TOTALLY hooked on these ruffle bottom pants. Like seriously! I am soooo glad that my mom can sew since I can’t!! These and dresses are all she is going to be wearing this summer!
7. Speaking of dresses, I wanted to get this one for her SOOO bad I could taste it! Imagine the photos. She doesn’t like it – at all. I had her with me at Kohl’s twice and tried to talk it up and encourage her and for some reason she just flat doesn’t like it. Believe me, she tells you if she likes and wants something! So, twice I left Kohl’s empty handed! I am still a bit sad, can you tell? But the red and turquoise pants totally cheer me up! {And on a totally hilarious note – Gentry just walked over to the computer to see what I was doing and said, “I don’t want that dress. I don’t.”} Point taken. She is NOT getting the dress, but someone please go get it and then take pictures of your daughter in it and show me!! Or book an appointment and let ME take pictures of your sweet daughter in the fun dress!!
8. I went on a font downloading spree yesterday. It happens from time to time! It all started when I came across this Pea Gentry font. For obvious reasons, I HAD to have it. And then I started looking at others and HAD to have them as well. FABULOUS SITE!! Chris won’t be thrilled. We already had to go through the computer once and delete a bunch of them because they take up so much space!! Luckily, we deleted a bunch of the duds that came on the computer and not my fun ones!!
9. A sweet friend shared with me a blog this past weekend. It breaks my heart and inspires me all at the same time. This is the first post I read. I cried my way through it and found myself going back in time and reading, reading, reading. The photos. The story. The writing. Writing so real and so raw it rocks you to the core. The kind of writing I wish I made time to do more often. The kind of writing that will forever leave an impression.
10. I realized this morning that we are two months away from living in this house the same amount of time we lived in our house in Kansas City for. Crazy.
And that’s it for today!! Happy Tuesday!!

I went to that blog you mentioned. All I can say is wow. Amazing. Hope you’re having a good week!
I am the same way with my crushed ice and my OJ! And I gave up on encouraging Jaina to wear what I wanted her to a long time ago. 7 year olds have their own idea of what’s “fashionable” or “cool” to wear!
Well, I’m back, after reading through pages and pages of that blog you linked to! Wow, she is a great writer! And a great photographer. I think I’ve been inspired to take more every day photos of my girls together. She is so real and doesn’t hide anything. I wish I could be more like that.
I used to have all of those fonts downloaded at one point, but then we got a new computer and they didn’t get moved over. Thanks for linking to them!
Oh, and I love pulp in my juice. The more the better!
I have a Cricut and had problems at first. I didn’t have the blade depth deep enough to cut through my card stock. I believe the setting was on like “2″ and it needed to be like “4-5″. After that, it’s been smooth sailing. Cute Blog!
I have a problem with leaving lights on when I leave a room…I admit it! When I was a teenager, my dad installed a “trick” light in my closet, that would go off by itself after a few minutes if it was left on! Only he DIDN’T tell me about it and I came running out one day telling them there was a ghost in my room turning the lights on and off!!! Ha!! AND now days, you can hear my husband singing this song (on old Trace Adkins one) around the house a lot…”every light in the house is on.”
I am in love with finding new fonts too! The Peas ones are all so cute! I didn’t realize they took up so much space, maybe I should get rid of a few that I don’t use as much. Have a great day~
You have one sassy girl, but let me tell ya Ashley is no different. She is getting so particular about what she wear is driving me insane!!!! I love that Kohls dress. I will pick one up for Hannah since she is my easy one right now…ha! At least when it comes to dressing anyway
How sad about that photographer and her baby. What a tremendous story. We are blessed!
