A Baby Sprinkle
Hey y’all! Remember me? Goodness, I was really hoping I would have some time to catch y’all up on our home progress before the craziness of fundraising for Rwanda started but obviously, I haven’t. We are in full fundraising mode with our first big one- a BBQ sale and concert this weekend. We’ve been going 90 mph getting ready for that and our annual huge, indoor yard sale that is a few weeks away. I guess I didn’t have enough on my calendar because this past weekend, I agreed to help host a baby sprinkle for my best friend, Jessica. Because this is her second babe, we kept things simple. It…

Especially after we’ve blown our kitchen budget out of the water. It stresses me out y’all, because if you know me and Cory, you know that we try and follow the Dave…
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…
