One Thousand Gifts Book Club:

Chapter 7

gifts: getting to tell friends about this book. through the conversation realizing how much it has truly impacted our lives and changed our perspective.

spring. new outfits.

spring. listening to Asper Kourt in the park. starbucks. standing girl.

spring. actually being in a picture. that it was taken by Ava. time with my girls. hats.

spring. smiles. baby strapped in.  getting to know our little one.  knowing 100% that if not buckled up, she would jump.
spring. pumpkin bread for 2. the sweetness that oozes out of Ava. knowing that it’s only a matter of time before she hops out of the stroller, takes off her shoes and dances the afternoon away.


tired? hungry?

Is it mean to post this video of our sleeping girl eating saltines?

We didn’t think so either 🙂

 


have you helped?

The past 2 weeks Asper Kourt has been donating a percentage of their iTunes sales to the Red Cross for the relief efforts in Japan.

The band has a brand new 4 song EP out from their studio sessions in Seattle last year.  The songs have such a mellow, fun, artsy vibe and I have to say, the last single ‘The Way You Move’ is my FAVE!

For the next 24 hours starting right now, Monday March 28, 2011 @ 4:30pm (Mountain Time Zone), they will be giving the Red Cross 100% of their sales.  So get over to their iTunes page and buy something. anything. everything 🙂

If you want to, click on the link below to buy some music and help Japan:

I WANT TO HELP!
