Last night my husband held me in his arms and he told me all these beautiful things he thought about me. They had nothing to do with my looks. He’s very good about affirming me of how beautiful he thinks I am physically, but this was something different. Something I needed. A lot.
I told him recently I wanted him to spend time praying that God would reveal to him ways to love me as a woman. It’s not because he was a total failure at it, it’s because I needed to be loved in a certain way and who could possibly be better to show Vin than my heavenly father, who knows me deeper than anyone and loves me deeper than anyone.
Well, God was faithful. Vin’s words were like water to my dry “confidence”.
When we seek God, when we ask Him in faith He is faithful.
He is so faithful.
Ask Him for whatever it is you need (need and want are different and God knows the difference). I know He will be faithful.
His,
Kesha.

Cohen amazes me every day; The way she is growing and learning and molding into a young lady. This year she started Ballet and she absolutely loves every second of it. I love it for her. I’m so thankful for her in my life, and the fact that God chose me to be her Mommy. She shows me the love of Jesus like no one else. I know she is only 4 but this little girl is set apart. I see God working through her so often. I’m a proud Mom.
We recently had an open house at her Ballet and I was able to snap some pictures of her in action! She’s lucky to do ballet with her little best bud, Ava. I know they are building super special memories together that will hopefully last a lifetime!
Normally we have to sit in a little waiting room and watch our cuties on a tiny TV screen, so this was pretty sweet and special to watch them dance up close an personal!

I think one of the hardest things as a believer in Jesus is to “wait” on Him. There are so many verses urging us to wait, trust, hope, pray, etc. I believe God is faithful. I believe He will answer. I believe He will follow through for me but, there is still the unknown. I don’t know when He will answer. I don’t know how He will answer. All I know is I am living another day with a purpose and I can trust Jesus will care for me in the midst of any storm. I know I am precious to Him. I know He loves me far beyond anything else. I know He cares for me and wants nothing more than the best for me. I know He adores me and He knows my heart deeper than the deepest ocean. He sees the good in me. He wants to take care of me. He wants me to trust in Him and nothing else.
Thank you, Jesus for the love I can only experience through you.
Kesha.

I designed these little posters in Photoshop today. Sometimes I just enjoy a simple inspiring quote…. We all need the reminders here and there!

It’s Thursday, in case you’re anything like me and regularly go through an entire day thinking it’s a totally different day. Mom brain.
Anyway. Monday night my girls were sick as dogs. Cohen must have set some new record for how far and how much projectile vomit she could disperse throughout my living room. Can I just say… cleaning up puke is….. well. It’s bad. And smelly. And downright rotton. I swear I can smell it everywhere. This is why I have gone through cans of Lysol and Fabreeze. I’m actually ready to call some moving trucks and just start fresh in a new house. I’m pretty notorious for throwing stuff away as soon as it’s encountered puke. Co threw up in her carseat once and welp, it had a nice journey to the dump after that. I’ve gone through a lot of towels and sheets. I just can’t stand the thought of washing articles that have been saturated in stomach acid and regurgitated dinner. My house, however not so easy to throw that away, so until then it’s lots of cleaning supplies, candles and prayer.
On another note, we had a nice full healthy day Tuesday and Wednesday. Then last night Isla decides to join the party AGAIN and puke ALL over herself, her bed, her blanket. Poor baby. It’s honestly heartbreaking. Cohen didn’t puke much until she started school, and because of that I think she brings those nasty bugs home to poor Isla. Isla had some medical issues from throwing up. She was on some antacids because of some esophageal damage from violently vomiting. I’m worried this might have occurred again. So after a night with Isla snuggled up in our bed, she woke up normal. I’m praying she’s done being sick!
This morning was a “3 shots of espresso and a splash of non fat milk” kinda morning. I seriously got maybe 3-4 hours of very interrupted sleep. So, to wake up to our Nespresso machine has never made me happier! The glow of our Christmas lights gave my heart a little joy, the 30 seconds of silence my girls gave me while watching “Big Big friend” gave me another little boost of joy, then the requests started pouring in. “Im hungry! I want milk. I want a cookie. I want crackers. I want oatmeal.”
“Ok so I will make oatmeal in just 2 seconds.”
“MOM! It’s been 2 seconds!”
“Ok, in one minute.”
Insert Cohen’s “mad” look here.
So it’s nearly 11am and Co has ballet soon. And I have some serious puke smell to wash out of Isla’s hair. Wish me luck.
Kesha.

I’m very excited about this giveaway! I’ve included a few fun items this time around. And, each item has been handmade by me for you!
For starters you have a delicious 8oz soy candle. It’s a yummy warm vanilla scent. I think everyone loves vanilla, no? Next up we have a very cute little zipper pouch ready for all your favorite lip glosses, your cell phone, your gifts cards, your headphones, debit card, change, candy that you want to hide from your kids, you name it! Third we have a sweet felt flower pin. It’s a lovely rust color that will pretty much match with anything. Pin it to your hat, pin it to your scarf, pin it to your shirt, your dress, the front of your belt, poke your husband with it from time to time for a good laugh. It’s a very fun little accessory! Last but not least a fun little headband/ear warmer for this very crisp cold winter we’re having! Notice Isla is wearing this and it looks very cute on her, but it looks VERY cute on adults as well. So, if you’re a Momma with a “mini me” you can share!

This is one of my favorites. I’m going to TRY to make a few of these for the special ladies in my life. Heck. Make them for the men in your life too! Lord knows they could use some exfoliation :-) And no one has to know.
If you’ve never indulged in a body scrub, then you are truly missing out. I’m addicted to this stuff. And now that I have a fun recipe I will probably end up making a huge batch for myself! I chose Sugar because it’s not as harsh as salt scrubs although you can use a fine salt instead of sugar if you wish.
Another suggestion, use organic oils. DO NOT use vegetable oil. Choose an oil that is healthy and beneficial to your skin and health. If you aren’t sure what kind, go to your nearest health food store such as Whole Foods or in the Salem area I suggest Life Source. They will have someone who knows. Trader Joe’s, probably not so much. As far as scents, I suggest essential oils.
Anyway, enough blabbing! Go get your scrub making on, you scrub!
Also, you don’t have to go to this extent as far as decorating your jars. You can make your jars cute with a simple ribbon tied around it. So don’t panic if you think you need to make yours look exactly like these :-)
Here’s the link! Enjoy!

So here is my DIY Christmas gifts #2.
I actually did this! I purchased a candle making kit off e-bay and made about 20 delicious soy candles from scratch! It was a delightful process and who wouldn’t want a scrumptious candle during this crisp cold time of year?
Here’s the blog with all the info you’ll need! I made 20 8oz candles for around $60. Pretty good if you ask me!
Enjoy!!
