Tote bags for Women's Hope Center

Last week sometime, I posted about a need at the former Women's Hope Center. I made up about 25 of these tote bags to donate to what is now called the Family Resource Clinic. These bags are prayed over before being given to any young lady who test positive for pregnancy.

I plan on making more of these as well as burp cloths.

The center also has other needs as well. Ways you can help are to volunteer your time at the clinic, Donate monthly or even one time monetary gifts, Give a memorial gift, Invite the Resource Center to do a presentation at your church, group, or club, Give a baby shower for an expecting young lady at the center, Donate maternity or baby clothes, food/formula, or other baby items. Contact the Family Resource Center for more information @ 225-686-1123.

Family Resource Center has a need

I just found out that the Family Resource Center (formerly called the Women's Hope Center) located in Satsuma, LA has a need for diaper bags and burb rags. If you sew, or know someone who does, or even if you have some diaper bags that are in good condition (if not better), please donate them to the Family Resource Center.

The Center is a source of love, compassion, and respect to women who find themselves in a situation of need. They focus on providing hope for families in crisis.

Please contact them. If it wasn't for them, the situation with my daughter would be much worse. They have certainly given us hope and assisted with coping.

I am Stressed Out!!!

Please pray for me. I'm feeling a bit drawn and quartered right now. I forgot to pick up my Little Bird from school today. Isn't that something? I totally forgot! What the heck is wrong with me?

This past week, my best friend's husband died, my pregnant 22 y.o. DD is going through some stuff with her so-called "friends"...(seems they don't have time to hang with her anymore), and Little Bird's teacher called me in for a conference due to her "bossiness". The child is very bright and is a "know it all".

My husband also isn't working as much right now, so he's "underfoot". He's a 3rd party welding inspector and at this time, there just doesn't seem to be much going on for him to inspect. It sure would be nice for him to get a little job in Alabama or something somewhere so that I wouldn't have to cater to him too (in addition to the kids).

On top of that, the lady who has served our church in the pianist position for 49 years, suffered a stroke last Sunday during her offeratory performance. Isn't that sad?

As a result, I have been called in to pick up the slack. I'm actually thrilled to be able to do that, playing for the church; as I feel that it's a type of stress release therapy for me. However, it also means that my focus will soon change to more practice time at the keyboard.

I know that I'm not the only person in the world who is stressed and going through junk...but I sure feel like I'm alone here. I'm tempted to take a little bit of my hubby's hard earned moola and go get myself a massage tomorrow.

Anyway, thanks for listening and remember us when you speak to the Father.

Spring Break in Natchez

Just before Easter, our family took a little retreat up to Natchez for some quality family time. You can read all about it over here, starting with Day 1.

Enjoy!!!

Easter Sunday 2010

Happy Easter everyone! Christ is Risen - He's alive!! He is not dead or in the grave but ALIVE!!! Hallelujah!!!

We celebrated at our church today where my girls looked so pretty in their new little dresses.

Then we went to eat dinner with my mom and stepdad.

Now it's time for me to update some other posts.

Easter Dresses

I finally finished making the Easter dresses for my girls! Actually, I finished them last weekend before we left for our Spring Break vacation. Aren't they cute? I can't wait to see them on my girls in the morning.
