I was in my son’s kindergarten class on Friday morning. They were making gingerbread houses and Christmas crafts~there was happiness and excitement and anticipation in the air.
I came home and the devastating news came up on my screen as I sat down to write a post and share some new deals. My stomach felt sick and my heart ached, and maybe you wondered as I did what kind of awful world my kids will have to face as they grow up. We had sung I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day on Sunday and it had been running through my head all week. The words of 2 verses came to my mind and became an answer to my prayer, and it has been my little glimmer of light this weekend.
God bless Newtown, Connecticut~
To celebrate such a cool date today, here are 12 of my favorite things in no particular order. This is not a sponsored post in any way, and I soooo wish I could give you each one! :)
1. Lands End Large Canvas Tote: best beach/swim bag ever. It’s HUGE, holds all the towels, sunscreen, snacks, maybe even the kitchen sink. The canvas is heavy and durable. I can't imagine the size of the extra large.
2. Line a Day Journal
This one is grab-in-a-fire worthy for me. One line a day, but the best part is looking back on the previous years: “oh, on this day last year Landon started crawling and I made dumb chili that didn’t turn out, and school was cancelled because of the snow from Hurricane Sandy.” One of my favorite gifts to give as well.
