Happy Valentine's Day from the Mayers!

 How sweet are my valentines? We had a blast making this craft for their friends at school. Check out the link below to see how we made them :)

It's time to raise money again for March of Dimes!

Every little bit helps. We appreciate anything anyone can donate to this cause that we believe so much in. I am still in shock that our girls were born so early and are doing so well. I'm looking for ideas for fundraising this year, if anyone has any ideas! I was thinking about making and selling chocolate covered pretzel rods for each holiday between now and then... st. patricks day and easter. Last year we had a poker tournament that was a huge success. I've thought about moving it to a firehall or venue but it's a big expense to rent the space.

Anyone that donates now will receive a FREE shipping voucher ($5 off) for any Lil' LJ product @ www.etsy.com/lillj9208.

Sick!

We had our first real bout of illness the last two weeks and thankfully no trips to the ER and no breathing treatments! Mady had a cough and ear infection, which she then passed to Emma, and then me. I was so happy and proud of Mady's lungs for not needing any help!

I'm working on a mural in their room right now and can't wait to post pictures when it's all said and done.

Grandma just picked the girls up for dinner and a sleepover and Christian and I are both fast at work with freelance work. With the $800 spent on two beds and a pretty hefty wish list for the next year, we're working on some extra income :)
