Rwanda
One Week Out
Happy Friday, y’all! I’m officially one week out from being on a plane to Rwanda and I. can’t. wait. to be able to join Cory over there. My to-do list is miles long. Like, I’m not sure how I’m gonna get it all done so today will be short and sweet. It’s a video of a video but how could I not share this dance off?? Oh, the prize? A tree tomato. It has been pure agony to have to live my everyday life while Cory is over there enjoying those sweet babies but I can make it one more week! Please keep Cory and the rest of the group,…
Fundraiser Ideas- Black Light Zumba
Whew! The past two weeks have been absolutely crazy on the home front. After our annual indoor yard sale tomorrow, we will have had three fundraisers in two weeks. Talk about chaos!

Just like at Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, these post have stirred up a frustration inside of me. Not because I’m against shopping or spending money on nice things {because I like those things too}, and…
T-Shirts for Rwanda
With the kitchen renovations happening, I’ve barely mentioned our upcoming trip to Rwanda but we’ve been working behind the scenes preparing for some big fundraisers this summer. We have a lot of money to raise since Cory will be spending a whole month there! Yes, you read that correctly. Cory gets to spend the whole month of September in Rwanda and I will be bringing the rest of the group for the last two weeks. I’m a tad bit jealous. To help us with the cost of the trip, we had these awesome t-shirts designed by Fund the Nations and are selling them for $20 plus $4 shipping if you…
