5 on Friday

 
Linking up with April, Christina, Natasha and Darci this afternoon for 5 on Friday! No rules, just pick 5 things and share them!
1. Lent. I'm thinking about this season in two ways. The first by sacrifice or discipline, and to that end I am giving up my snooze button and sweets. The second way I am thinking about the season is by enriching my Spiritual life (also part of my yearly/monthly goals). To that end, I am doing the Naptime Diaries 40 days with Jesus devotional as well as a 40 day reading plan through the book of Concord with two friends from my church. I am hopeful for the growth that can happen in 40 days!


2. Avett Brothers Pandora. I've recently gotten back into the habit of listening to music while cooking and this station has been one the whole family enjoys. Variety includes Of Monsters and Men, Mumford & Sons and Fleet Foxes. 


3. Giving up the Pull-Ups. I don't think I posted about it, but we did the 3-day Potty Training boot camp with Canon back in July, 2 months before he turned 3. He easily got it during the day, but I wasn't ready to trade the diapers for sheet laundry every morning, so we went to pull-ups. We haven't talked much about it and honestly, I didn't see them ending any time soon. I don't regulate his liquid intake before bedtime and he definitely wasn't waking up dry. However, the most recent pack we bought were too tight, so this past Wednesday I gave him the choice to give up his storytime cup for no pull-up and he chose no pull-up! Now, he did not wake up dry the next morning, BUT this morning he did! I heard him at 6:10am go to the bathroom, then back into his room to lay down until his clock turned green at 6:45am. He excitedly came out and said he was dry! Hooray! This still means I need to watch what he drinks at night, but I'm so proud of him!!! 


4. Superbowl Winners! This cute picture of my little Broncos fans. Canon was born in Denver the year that Peyton started with them, so it makes sense that is where our allegiance lies. 

Making his Valentine's Day box
5. Preschool Valentine's Day. Love it SO much! All the fun of Christmas parties, but without the added pressure of amazing teacher gifts! We got some chocolates for the teachers, some Avenger Valentine's for class and I ordered Papa John's Pizza for the party. Success! 


Bonus: Canon had his "interview" for Jr-Kindergarten at Immanuel last week and it went super well! He'll be in a class with these two sweet boys who got to play a lot at our Annual Chili Cook-Off last weekend!

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd

Arise Campus Ministry 9.23.14

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to be part of some awesome ministries. From time to time, I've been given the chance to speak and I wanted a place to keep those files. Here is where I'll post my talks, Bible Studies, etc that I'm either doing or creating.  Arise Campus Ministry at George Mason University 9.23.2014 This week I want to tell y’all a little about my story, because the word “belonging” is extremely significant in it. I came to Christ at the end of middle school – which for me were terrible years. Think about all the stereotypes of mean girls and being made fun of and left out, and that is my story. It all really fell apart for me at the beginning of my 9 th  grade year when every girl I had left middle school fighting to maintain a friendship with completely ignored me. I had a peripheral friendship with a girl who was a church goer and accepted her invitation to become part of their youth group. I had been on and off, but nev

February Goals

Happy February! I'm joining Elizabeth and Sarah to talk about B+ Goals for the month! I am loving the idea of setting up some attainable goals for each month, but also giving myself grace for meeting or not meeting them. This year I am focusing on my Physical and Spiritual Health. First, a quick review of January's Goals. January Physical Health Goals : * hit my 10,000 steps 4 days of the week (I work a desk job, so this means I'll have to do some extra walking either before or after work) * track my food  January Spiritual Health Goals :  * read Simply Tuesday by Emily P Freeman * start my day with Jesus Calling and First 5 App   As my husband would say, I won more days than I lost in January! My fitbit broke 3 weeks into January, so the last week and some I wasn't able to track, but I did get to the gym to run a few times without it. I also tracked more food than I didn't and the days we were at work I did really well staying w
