I try to rotate the bulletin board over my changing table every few months. Since it’s fall, I decided to go with an apple theme. Well, that’s not totally true. I found the apple boarder at Dollar Tree and knew I had to do something with it. I used to say that I don’t have…
Apples for our new bulletin board. One was done using the patting method and then sprinkling glitter. One was done doing the marble shaking method.

There was a fabulous rainbow tonight. It really lifted my spirits. It’s God’s way of saying it is going to be okay.
Today is the 10th anniversary of Gidgette’s Gotcha Day. She’s the love of my life. Right now, she snuggled up next to me washing her face like the good little kitty she is.
