Monday is Wear Your Apron Day. For more info. click here.

I love vintage aprons. I have about 20 now. I've found them at thrift stores, antique shows, and antique malls. I love it when I can find them for $1.00!

Here is a cool way to display your aprons. Here's another cute display with pink.

There are lots of patterns you can buy for aprons. There are also reproduction vintage patterns at many craft stores. I have bought a couple of patterns so I can make my girls an apron.

Have a great Wear Your Apron Day!!

And...He's Here!!!!

IT'S A BOY!!

Brady Cole Frederick was born on Mar. 4 at 11:59 pm, weighing in at 8 lbs. 8 oz. and 21 inches. That makes us even - 3 boys, 3 girls - half a dozen. I'm so blessed - our quiver is definitely full. The kids just love him, as do Momma & Daddy.

Pregnancy Blahs

I am set to be induced on Mar. 4. I have been having lots of trouble and my hemoglobin is really low. You can see from my pic how pale I am. My body has put me on bedrest! Therefore, I'm not going to be blogging much if any in the next few weeks. I will however, be sure to get baby pics on when I get home. I'm also looking forward to feeling normal again (I hope Lord) after delivery so I can get back to life. Please keep me and baby in your prayers. We are eagerly awaiting his arrival.

SOLITUDE

I have a house where I go
When there's too many people,
I have a house where I go
Where no one can be;
I have a house where I go,
Where nobody ever says "No";
Where no one says anything--so
There is no one but me.

~~A. A. Milne


I can't find my house!!
Life has been busy and crazy and loud.
I need a quiet place.
I need time and space to think and be.
It's time for a mom's day out.
Time, alone.
Precious.

Only 9 More Weeks

Only 9 weeks from yesterday til our Lil Baby Boy should be born. He's due on Mar. 10, but the doctor is planning to induce me on Wed., Mar. 4. We're eagerly starting to get things ready.

We have a name picked out, but we're not sharing it until he's born! Something has to be a surprise, right?!
