An Overdue Update

It's been two weeks since my surgery day so I thought it was about time I gave you all an update. The surgery was actually two surgeries in one day. Part one, removal of my ovaries. Although my ovaries had NO cancer, the tumor in my breast was estrogen fed so removing the ovaries reduces the chance for the cancer to return. Part two, a partial mastectomy, which was removing the tumor and an area around it, along with the lymph nodes under my arm. Whew, the operating room sure was busy, but I didn't mind because I got to sleep through it all. lol! Things went well and I am healing great! It feels good to check off another task on my "cancer treatment checklist". 

Thank you for all of your support through prayers, cards, meals, and kind words. It really is encouraging to know that you are all right beside me through this fight. :)

Surgery Day

I just wanted to quickly update before I leave, my surgery day is finally here. I'll be spending the night at the hospital(which I'm not too thrilled about), so I'll update when I get home. If you are the praying type, I would appreciate prayers.

Tissue Paper Collage Heart

What toddler doesn’t love ripping paper? I know mine does any chance she can, so this was the perfect Valentine’s Day craft for her. She had a whole pile of tissue paper to tear up an nobody was telling her no!

{Supplies}

an empty cereal box, paper scraps(we used tissue paper), glue

1. Tear the paper into small pieces.

 

2. Cut a heart from the cereal box and cover it with glue.

3. Now, just let your child glue the tissue paper on the heart anyway they want to. Stella loved this part! When the paper would stick to her fingers, she would giggle and yell, “Sticky, sticky!”

All finished!

Pin It

Pinterest has quickly become one of my favorite places on the web. I have found tons of ideas for crafts, recipes, and products, you name it, it's there! And I have to tell you, I do get a little thrill every time I see one of my ideas on Pinterest. So, to make it easier for anyone wanting to share something from my blog, I have added a "Pin It" button at the end of my posts. Just click the button on the post you want to share, select a photo from the post and pin it. Easy peasy! You can find the tutorial to add the button to your posts here.

You can follow me here, I'll follow you too!  :)
Happy pinning!

We Finally Have SNOW!

Stella’s first reaction, “Ewwwwwww!”  But she loves it now!  We have planned a whole day of sledding and snow ball fights followed by hot chocolate and marshmallows, of course.

Happy Saturday!
