day 24 - on your mind

Naturally baby has been on my mind for a while now ... 9 months or more :) But recently, well, for the past few weeks, paint and getting the nursery finished has been on my mind. Last week, Felix was finally able to buy the paint, well before that I had to decide what colors to go with. Remember the fabric picked out for the curtains? Well, I changed my mind from the original paint colors I had wanted and adapted them to match the fabric. I can't wait to see what it looks like and to start making the room our sweet baby girl's room! I'm so thankful we are getting one step closer to having the nursery done and even more thankful for a wonderful hubby who is taking a day off to paint!! Isn't he wonderful?!

If a cellphone or computer are somewhere near her, she doesn't waste any time getting to them. She has so much energy. Naps are kept short, often a half hour, if I'm lucky an hour. I'm so thankful for this sweet, little, energy bundle. I look forwa

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally. Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home. ... I could teach some German. But when? ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible. I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how they didn't
