He's always been easily timid, very intuitive of other's feelings, a lover by nature, and can get his feelings hurt at the drop of a hat. <br />This morning he asked me to read this book to him. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/17/2879.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/17/s_2879.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />It's an old one from when Ava was a baby and we read it to her daily. By read, I mean we played the music as it sang "Rock a bye baby" and turned the pages on cue. I always thought it was a sad book to read as a momma because of the sentimental words at the end...<br />"Sleep now my baby I'll stay right here, and watch you and love you my baby my dear."<br /><br />I know Judd has no understanding of why it'd be sad for me, but apparently the acoustics or something had a real effect on the poor little guy as well. ;) <br /><br /><p align='center'><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/29xswaNl5wA" width="400" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/29xswaNl5wA" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><!-- Fallback content --><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29xswaNl5wA"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/29xswaNl5wA/0.jpg" width="400" height="300" />YouTube Video</a></object></p>Isn't that the most pathetic thing you've ever seen? <br />He kept bringing it to me to read even though it made him cry.

Cue the waterworks. And more depressing? We've finally got an opinion in what we wear. Ahhhh! So, some of these clothes have never been worn. Ava has hated long sleeves all of winter. She prefers sleeveless and skirts. My loss may be your gain! <br />

That's all for now. Thanks for looking!!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09924769795140629708noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624852965659215925.post-5051350902122509622013-01-05T23:55:00.001-06:002013-01-05T23:55:45.069-06:00"Bundle of Joy" newborn monogram package Are you pregnant? Hoping to be pregnant soon? Do you have a niece or nephew on the way? Did your best friend or college roommate just announce their pregnancy? <br />
If you answered yes to any of those questions, please, keep reading. <br />
<br />
Do you love monograms, appliques, cute little personalized pieces or the like? Do you daydream about squishy little newborns, only a few hours old, all decked out in sweet gowns with their name monogrammed on it? The name that you just may have picked out especially for them? The name that you so proudly want to show off? <br />
<br />
Do you get bummed when you wake from said daydream and realize that a typical monogrammed gown and newborn cap can cost anywhere from $45-$65? Add in a burp cloth and bib and you are looking at paying $85+ to get just the newborn monogram essentials so desperately coveted by moms to be. When factoring all the other costs that come with new babies (how is it that those tiny little creatures require SO MUCH STUFF to survive those first few months anyway?) it's hard to justify spending that kind of money in one setting.<br />
<br />
Hopefully, SheShe Made can help you reach your {lifelong goal} of dressing your baby, your niece, your nephew, your godson or your goddaughter in adorable monogrammed clothing. And doing so at a VERY affordable rate! <br />
<br />
Coming now to a SheShe Made customer everywhere, is the "Bundle of Joy" newborn monogram gift set. <br />
<br />
What is the Bundle of Joy Package?<br />
<ul>
<li>It's a big 'ol package of monogrammed goodness that you get {or give} days before or soon after baby is born! </li>
<li>It includes all the basics such as SheShe Made's number one selling name applique gown, monogrammed newborn cap or bow headband to match, a coordinating burp cloth, name applique bib, monogrammed onesie and/or monogrammed bloomers. The package cost $96 and is valued at $110-$120 plus shipping if purchased separately. </li>
</ul>

<br />
Sugar and Spice Package includes...<br />
<ol>
<li>Name applique gown made to coordinate with baby's nursery colors </li>
<li>Matching bow headband</li>
<li>Monogrammed bloomers</li>
<li>Coordinating burp cloth</li>
<li>Name applique bib </li>
</ol>
Snips and Snails Package includes...<br />
<ol>
<li>Name applique gown made to coordinate with baby's nursery colors</li>
<li>Matching monogrammed newborn cap</li>
<li>Monogram onesie</li>
<li>Coordinating burp cloth</li>
<li>Name applique bib</li>
</ol>
*sibling shirts can be added on to the package for an additional $30<br />
<br />
<br />
How does the Bundle of Joy Package work?<br />
<ul>
<li>You email SheShe Made as soon as you find out you or your loved one is pregnant to get started on building your personal package, and to begin a payment plan as low as $12 a month. </li>
<li>Through email correspondence, we will set up your payment plan to ensure you are paid in full ($96 is the total amount for the package) by the first day of the month you are due or by three weeks prior to your due date. </li>
<li>You will be invoiced via email and pay through paypal on the first day of each month. </li>
<li>When you find out baby's gender, you will email that info along with baby's name, and we will get started on your individual newborn package. All packages will be shipped two weeks before the baby's due date.</li>
</ul>
<br />
This is great, but what if I don't know the baby's gender until he/she is born?<br />
<ul>
<li>You are in the "extra special" category because you have FINALLY found a place where you no longer have to purchase green or butter colored clothing! AND you can still buy your unknown gendered baby (is that really a word?) monogrammed clothing AS LONG as you have a boy and girl name chosen. </li>
<li>If your OB nurse is comfortable with emailing SheShe Made your baby's gender, we will be in contact with them to get all the juicy insider information. We'll get your top-secret gender specific package made and shipped two weeks before the baby's due date. It's just up to you to not open the package until that sweet bundle of joy reveals his/her gender in all their naked glory on their birthday! </li>
<li>If your OB nurse isn't willing to email the gender to some random monogram company (which, by the way, has never been an issue yet) we will wait until you email us 2 seconds after that baby makes it's debut, and then we will treat your package as a rush order and have it made and shipped within 7-10 days. </li>
<li>The gender neutral package is $16 extra to cover additional (obvious) costs. </li>
</ul>
<br />
If you are interested in getting started on your payment plan of the Bundle of Joy Package, email us at <a href="mailto:sheshemade@gmail.com">sheshemade@gmail.com</a> and put "Bundle of Joy" in the title. We look forward to helping you welcome your bundle of joy into this world in style! <br />

I was looking through my phone at all the 2,000 pictures I took this year and decided to blog my favorites. <br /><br />The E.T. picture. Ava always loves to go into Judd's room when he wakes & play with him in his crib. Her favorite thing is to unload his entire toy chest of blankets and stuffed animals. And better believe that by the end of 2012 we successfully taught Ava the cardinal rule of "you make the mess, you clean it up". <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/30/3603.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/30/s_3603.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Judd and mommy hanging out at the club pool this summer. Those cheeks!<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/30/3604.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/30/s_3604.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Y'all. This picture makes me laugh SO hard. It's so not funny to anyone else I'm sure, but I cannot delete it from my phone. It just makes me giggle every time I see it. Ava put her dolls in the hula hoop "pool" all clad in stylish swimsuits with their own "swim up bar". Love her imagination! <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/30/3605.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/30/s_3605.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Best of friends waiting so patiently at the dentist office.

He wasn't sure what to think of it!

My very favorite part of every day. Hands down! This little guy LOVES to be rocked before bed and sometimes I'll rock him until he falls asleep. One of the greatest perks of having my babies far enough in apart in age. Ava gets extra TV time; Judd gets extra snuggle time. Win/win for everyone! <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/30/3612.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/30/s_3612.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Love this picture of the three of us. <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/30/3613.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/30/s_3613.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Wyatt and Ava donning their true personalities, clowns, at the circus! <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/12/30/3614.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/12/30/s_3614.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Daddy reading to Judd before bedtime.

What can I say? It really IS such a wonderful life. I love it so and my new years goal for 2013 is to simply stop and smell the roses & enjoy what all I have, especially those moments that may not be of anything special or big on the surface. I want to work on finding joy in the small things. To pause more. Relax more. Breathe in, breathe out.<br /><br />Happy New Year! <br />Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09924769795140629708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624852965659215925.post-31960180640672992502012-12-19T13:24:00.001-06:002012-12-19T16:10:14.227-06:00Our Christmas CardFor the past few Decembers I have loved <a href="http://walkwithmebyfaith.blogspot.com/2012/12/christmas-card-carousel-2012.html">Faith's Christmas Card Carousel</a>. I'm sad to be super tardy to the party this year, but Monday I couldn't get my act together and yesterday was a blogger day of silence to remember the Connecticut school tragedy. So here I am today! <br />
<br />
I (hopefully?) got all of our Christmas cards sent out yesterday and am so pleased to share another amazing creation by Sarah. Both Sarah's, actually. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sarah-Carlson-Photography/74694471741?ref=ts&fref=ts">Sarah Carlson</a> took our photos and<a href="http://www.lifesweetlifeblog.com/"> Sarah Martin</a> designed our card. I sure do love both of those Sarah's! They never disappoint me. And although my husband would strongly disagree, I can be hard to please. Hahaha! <br />
In fact, I knew I wanted something along the lines of a tartan plaid background with red, green, white, and black. Sarah couldn't find what I was wanting so the girl drew the plaid herself!!<br />
<br />
I wish I could've sent cards to ALL of my Internet friends, twitter pals, customers, and blog buddies but the budget and time just wouldn't allow for it. So please consider this virtual card a Christmas greeting from my house to yours! <br />

Welcome to The McWilliams Residence! I am happy to be participating in this year's Christmas Decor linkup from over at my sweet friend Kelly's blog, <a href="http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/2012/12/2012-christmas-tour-of-homes.html">Kelly's Korner</a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our family LOVES to decorate for Christmas. In fact, I'm not sure which one of us loves it more between Aaron, Ava, and myself. We enjoy bringing the decorations out of the attic each year and discussing when we bought particular pieces, why it has sentimental value to us, or maybe we just recall the great deal we got on something! We look forward to decorating each year after Thanksgiving and can't wait to add even more decor as the years pass. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the porch, I added the super cute gingerbread boy and girl to our porch swing, purchased from my friend <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/elevenonecreative">Meredith's etsy shop</a>. I fully intended to sew some red burlap pillows but never got around to it this year. I did get the deco mesh wreath made and am happy with how it turned out for the most part. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once you come inside the house our formal dining room is off to the left. We currently use it as a play room since it's the only open carpeted area in our bottom story. Just comes as a great area for the baby since the tile floors are cold and hard. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I added the holly berry balls to the ligh fixture of this room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

These snowmen handprints are to the left of the front door. We made these this Christmas and I think it's hysterical that Judd and Ava's hands are almost the same size yet they are 3.5 years apart in age. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jwdvwRQsRX4/UMvpBV6Ia5I/AAAAAAAAD5E/W1RL52hmCM8/s1600/FallChristmas+2012+061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jwdvwRQsRX4/UMvpBV6Ia5I/AAAAAAAAD5E/W1RL52hmCM8/s640/FallChristmas+2012+061.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

To the right of the front door is our entry table where I have it decorated in a candy cane theme. The sleigh holds our Christmas cards. I like this look for this year and will keep it for a few more years, but eventually want to move the cards somewhere else where we can look at them all displayed. I think I will use the sleigh to hold Christmas crafts that the kids bring home. Or maybe Christmas recipe cards? Not sure yet. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On top of the entry way table, the window ledge, holds yearly Christmas photos. I like to choose 1 or 2 favorite pictures from each year and frame them. This has been a personal "bonus" tradition for me that I have come to love! </div>

Back to the front room...Ava says "hi' as she photo bombs my picture. Isn't she cute in her summer pajamas? (Don't get me started on our daily battle with wearing sleeves and pants.) This little tree holds our memorable ornaments. It has old fashioned bubble lights that I had on my tree as a little girl, along with some of my ornaments as a baby, and then homemade ornaments of Ava's. </div>

Here is our living room area. I have it semi-decorated in a toddler friendly fashion but it still has been a booger to keep little hands from redecorating each corner every time I turn around. </div>

The top picture is during the day and the bottom is at night. We don't have a fireplace so we hang the stockings on our entertainment center. I added the mesh garland this year and next year I'm going to add one more layer. I think I'll go with lime green. I love decorating with bright colors while my children are young. I'm not really sure why, but I just think it makes for "brighter memories". At least in my head that's how I picture it! </div>

The nutcracker on the TV center is our "candy cane advent calendar" and then we also do the "christmas book advent calendar". Ava opens the book in the morning and then opens a nutcracker door each evening after dinner. She has LOVED this tradition so much this year!! </div>

If you must know, we have gone through 5, FIVE, snowglobes this year. Judd loves to pick those up and chunk them across the room and watch water go everywhere. It's really fun. I also enjoy cleaning up the water then driving down the street to Walgreens in order to get my sobbing 4 year old to calm down. You do understand that damaged princess snowglobes are pretty much the end of the world for a 4 year old, don't you? It's a no win situation with those globes. I can't put them out of Judd's reach because then they are also out of Ava's reach. The DRAMA I tell you. </div>

Ava's bedroom. We don't turn on the Christmas tree lights very often in her room. See Beth the elf hanging out on her tree today? And her pink star? She insisted that we find a pink star for the tree this year. Thankfully Wal Mart came to our rescue! Our LP nativity set is on her window seat, currently MIA are baby Jesus and Joseph. I asked Ava where they were and she said "prolly using the bathroom." I am SO OVER this 4 year old potty humor. So over it. Anyway, baby Jesus and Joseph are somewhere around the house. </div>

This collage includes a few of my favorites among our trees in the house. I love picture frame ornaments and love looking at the ones from our first year of marriage. Aaron and I both were at the same school (he the VP and me the kindergarten teacher) and I put our school pictures in the ornaments. One is of Ava's tree. She has been adding bracelets and hairbows to it with each passing day. Haha! Last, do you see the tiara on the top of the front room tree? Wonder who did that... </div>

Time is just slipping away. It was just summer practically yesterday and how is Thanksgiving NEXT WEEK? My goodness! I did notice that having a birthday party to plan close to a holiday makes the month fly by even faster, so there's that. But I still have a hard time comprehending that I'll be putting up the Christmas tree in 8-10 days! <br />
Oh! And we went to Disney World in October so with that AND Judd's first birthday there was barely time to come up for air. WhooWee! <br />

Needless to say we never made it to a real pumpkin patch this year. Funny because for Ava's first Halloween I was all about going to that darn patch and getting a picture of her sitting in a pile of pumpkins. Then comes along the second child and I realize just how NOT important that is. At least to me. So, I found a cute nursery selling pumpkins and mums with this festive feel to it and a small area for photo ops to boot and decided this would be perfect! <br />
Did I also mention said nursery was across the street from Abuelo's? Bonus! So we dressed up the kids in their pumpkin attire and went to "the pumpkin patch". <br />

Judd was pretty much too smug for cheesing on this day. That's okay though. At least he is cute. Even with the disinterested looks he gave. </div>

I feel so incredibly swamped and am drowning in emails at the moment but I appreciate the time you take to comment. This week has been nonstop and I am so ready for the weekend to get here so I can breathe and recharge my batteries. Whew! <br />
Anyway, on to more exciting subjects such as this...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Sidenote: I had planned on taking all the pictures of his party myself but as soon as everyone started arriving Judd wanted nothing to do with anyone but his momma and he did NOT want me to put him down. Needless to say, I didn't get the last minute things set up exactly as I wanted and I most definitely didn't get to snap pictures. I think I got maybe 5 pictures total with my camera! As soon as <a href="http://www.lifesweetlifeblog.com/">Sarah</a> arrived I asked her to take some pictures and some pictures turned into ALL of the pictures. And as always, she outdid herself. These pictures she sent me all look PROFESSIONAL! They ARE professional as far as I'm concerned. I seriously owe that girl my thirdborn child. Although I'm sure she would gladly decline an offspring of my genetics. HAHA! Thanks again Sarah!!!!! <br />
<br />
I sent out about 23 invitations to close friends and family. We had maybe 25 people total and it was a perfect amount!! Not too overwhelming and enough people were there to eat all of the food. Haha!!! That's a great turnout in my books. <br />
<br />
Some of our favorite people!<br />

Our family of four ready to sing Happy Birthday and a close up of Judd's party day outfit! It was a smocked superhero shortall I ordered from Anavini before I knew if Judd was going to be a he or a she. I just LOVE this piece. <br />

I got Judd's birthday hat and bib from <a href="http://www.bloomingbabiesboutique.com/">here</a>. It's the same place I used for Ava's first birthday and I am just a sucker for tradition. They never disappoint and have the BEST quality. <br />

<br />
He had a hard time getting into the cake and it was a tad difficult for him to eat, so we gave him a cupcake instead and he gobbled that up in seriously 10 seconds! Love his faces and all the different expressions Sarah captured. <br />

How is it that he is one?!?!<br />
Judd is one years old. <br />
Twelve months more like (because that sounds like he is still a baby).<br />
As much as I was excited to celebrate my little man's first this weekend, I was in disbelief that it has been an entire year. Some days sure were long but that year? It was way too short! <br />
His official birthday was Sunday October 28th but we celebrated on the Saturday the 27th. It was just the perfect amount of people, everyone enjoyed the company and by the little food left over, I'm hoping that means they were satisfied with the food as well! <br />
When Judd was in the hospital for the second time at 3 months old I couldn't help but think of what a tough little guy he was. He had gone through stomach surgery at 15 days old, had caught MANY of Ava's colds, and was on his second round of RSV. I told him he was mommy's hero. And that, my friends, is when his first birthday theme of "Superhero" was decided. I knew there were going to be plenty of years in the future that he'd want to have superhero parties and that was fine, but this year it was just SO fitting.<br />
I didn't want to use specific Marvel superheroes for his party because that was not the focal point of this Superhero theme. The focal point was Judd! So I chose to decorate with generic child superhero characters, stars, pictures of Judd and incorporating the colors apple green, red, and cornflower blue. <br />
<br />
This is the only picture I have of the entire food table. I took it with my phone so it's poor quality. <br />

<br />
We served "Heroes" (subway sandwiches) with Power Packed Chips", "Kryptonite" (monster munch with green candy melts instead of almond bark), "Kapow Kabobs" (fruit skewers), and "Power Sticks" (candy coated pretzel rods). <br />

<br />
The desserts were all homemade and included almond flavored cupcakes with white chocolate cream cheese icing, vibrant green cake pops, various iced cookies, and superhero cookie dip with spiderman graham crackers. I am so thankful for my talented friends who made the delicious deserts!<br />
The drink station. We served superhero punch (red white and blue punch consisting of cranberry juice, blue frost gatorade, and sprite) and party themed water bottles which I don't have a picture of either. <br />

Back to sweets...Instead of doing favor bags I wanted to do a candy buffet. I've always wanted to do this sort of set up so I thought it would be perfect for our front "formal dining room" area. Well, I have this slight obsession about me that once I get something in my head I HAVE to do it. I lack self control I suppose. Otherwise I would have vetoed this great idea once I realized just how pricey candy is. I had no idea!! I tried to justify it by telling myself that Halloween would be a few days later and I could give away any unused candy. Except then I didn't want all the candy to be wrapped candy. Ughhh! I am my own worst enemy sometimes. Anyway, the candy buffet looked pretty neat and it was fun to set up. BUT! We have WAY TOO MUCH candy left over and I can't really give trick or treaters a handful of exposed jelly beans can I?<br />

<br />
Candies were vanilla tootsie rolls, hot tamales, rasperry laffy taffy, red apple jelly belly, green apple licorice, cherry gummy bears, candy stars, blue marshmallows, apple candy sours and blueberry suckers. <br />
This next table set up was off to the side of our kitchen and it was my "Judd table". The window ledge held his monthly pictures. I made a city scape with the monthly pictures the building billboards. I saw various city scapes on Superhero party sites and thought this would be a cool idea for the monthly pictures. <br />

<br />
My friend <a href="http://www.lifesweetlifeblog.com/">Sarah</a> made the "J" superman sign and the Subway art of his 12month milestones. I love the Subway art so very much! I hung it up on his wall in his room and know it will be something I always treasure. Sarah also made his invitation, party printables, and candy bag stickers. <br />
We had a photobooth set up and I had great intentions of getting at least one picture of every guest at his party since of course Judd won't remember it. I wanted to make a cool photobook with everyone's name labeled next to the picture. But you know what they say about best laid plans...<br />

This is when my plan started to crumble. I was yelling for Aaron to come get in the picture and right about this time he locked his keys in his car while bringing in the Subway sandwiches, 10 guests showed up at the same time and I needed to greet them...so yeah. <br />

Hahaha!!! It was a cute idea and I'm glad we still got a few pictures! <br />
<br />
Back to my first thought of Judd's party theme; I knew I wanted to have party guests donate to Cook's Children's Hospital in lieu of gifts. I remember Ava's first birthday and how it was a great celebration but the gifts were just unneccesary. A kind gesture and fun for the parents yes, but they are just too little to understand why on earth they need to sit still and open presents and then the mass overhaul of toys and clothes was just too much! It stressed Ava out and the mess and clutter stressed us out. It seemed so fitting for Judd to become a member of the "Peter Pan Birthday club" and I look forward to telling him what his party guests gave to in honor of his first birthday.<br />

I will share more pictures of his guests and the birthday boy himself in the next post! Thanks so much to sweet Sarah, my lifesaver on more occasions than I care to admit, for taking the pictures of the party decor! <br />

3. When

We know there’s been a number of questions regarding the <a href="http://www.lifesweetlifeblog.com/2012/10/silent-auction-for-turners.html" target="_blank">Silent Auction</a> taking place next week and we’re going to do the best we can to
answer those questions here.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But first we want to take a moment
to thank you for the overwhelming response for Julee and Preslee Turner.
We’ve been awed with each donation and email, amazed at the kindness of
strangers, and thankful to see a community come together to support a
friend in need. Thank you!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>1. </b><b>Do I need to enter my item on each blog? Do I need to visit each blog to see all of the items? </b>No,
you don’t need to visit each of our blogs to enter or bid on an item.
You only have to enter the link on one site, and it will show up on all
of our sites. The same with bidding on items… All of our blogs will have
the exact same list of items up for auction.</div>

you’ll be taken to that item. In the comments, please be sure to leave
your name, email address, and bid. All bids must be made in $1
increments. If the last bid is $9, then your bid must be at least $10.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>3. </b><b>How is a winner chosen? </b>The comments should be closed on Friday night at 10:00pm(EST). The highest bid will be the winner of that item.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>4. </b><b>How will be payments be accepted? </b>We
will contact the winners and will send them a Paypal invoice for the
amount. Once it’s paid, we’ll let the donor know so shipment can be
arranged.</div>

I have had a mad sweet tooth lately. Actually who am I even kidding? I have a mad sweet tooth permanently. But I don't really like to bake. Just too time consuming for me. I decided I wanted to try a Pinterest recipe that was fairly simple and {more than} fairly sweet to share in <a href="http://www.lifesweetlifeblog.com/">Sarah's</a> link up for The Proof is in the Pin. <br />
And here is what I found....<br />

Over the weekend, one of our own lost the love of her life in a tragic car
accident. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/2012/10/please-pray.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
We know many of
us were shocked and saddened by the death of <a href="http://mattandjuleeturner.blogspot.com/">Julee’s</a> husband and baby Preslee’s
daddy over the weekend. It’s hard whenever a loved one’s time is cut short, but
especially when it touches someone so young. And it has put Julee in the
position of single parenting her 10-month-old baby girl, in a way that no one
should have to face.<br />
<br />
We know that she’s surrounded by loved
ones, family and friends that can love on her, mourn with her, and be there for
her in ways that many of us can’t. But it has touched a lot of us in Blog and
Twitter Land and many want to help in a tangible way. So here is a way that we
can come together and honor Matt Turner and offer what support we can to his
wife and daughter.<br />
<br />
Next week, <strong>October 15th through the 19th</strong>,
we (<a href="http://www.lifeinthegreenhouse.com/">Life in the Green House</a>, <a href="http://www.lifesweetlifeblog.com/">Life Sweet Life</a>, <a href="http://www.biggest-blessings.com/">Knee-Deep in Munchkin Land</a>, <a href="http://www.jennifergetts.blogspot.com/">The Getts Times</a>, <a href="http://sheshebows.blogspot.com/">SheSheMade</a>) will be conducting a silent auction with all proceeds
