whatever

i am a dork.

so i thought the match funds were only yesterday with One Day's Wages to fund Diana's project in Uganda.

but i was wrong!

and i am SO GLAD i was wrong!

we have until FRIDAY to have our donations matched!  YAY!!!!

this is totally possible.

it's $5000 to fund Diana's water project.  
ALL we have to raise is $2500 because One Day's Wages will match our donations up to $2500.

Diana remembers the exact moment she wanted to become an engineer.

She felt such helpless frustration, standing there, only four-years-old, watching the adults in her village scratch their heads. Their only well, which provided clean water to everyone she knew, had broken down. No one had a clue how to resolve the issue. Diana said she vividly remembers thinking, “When I grow up, I’m going to fix this.”

AND SHE IS DOING IT!

wow.

i would love to meet Diana!

here's what i did at my house today with water so far....

i filled up my coffee maker.

i washed my hands.

i brushed my teeth.

i washed my face.

i washed my family's dishes.

i did a load of laundry.

i flushed the toilet.

i washed my hands again.

i took a shower.

i filled up my giant drinking cup.

i gave my children drinks.

i did another load of laundry.

i watered my plants.

i gave our chickens, kitties and dog clean fresh water to drink.  

i cleaned off the porch with water from the hose.

i got another drink.

i boiled water for pasta to eat.

i could go on and on.

WE ARE SO BLESSED to have clean water.

let's share our blessings with mothers in Uganda today that can't do these things.

can you imagine getting water from a swamp and having to give it to your kids?!!!

to cook your food in it?

 "each of you should give what you have decided in

your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion,

for God loves a cheerful giver"

2 Corinthians 9:7

 

CLICK HERE to be taken over to donate to Diana's project

so cool to have your donation doubled.
total awesomeness.

i am really excited about this. 

 

 

new adventure.

The Adventure Project!

I have worked together with The Adventure Project in many different ways... building wells for cleaner water, building stoves for cleaner air, getting irrigation pumps to farmers to help increase their income and provide more jobs, and training women to become health care providers for thier community to teach other women proper health care for children and themselves.

ALL such WONDERFUL causes!  

And together with YOU we have raised A LOT of money to help in some A W E S O M E ways! 

today i wanted to call attention to an AMAZING woman in Uganda named Diana.

we have a SUPER cool opportunity TODAY ONLY
to fund one of Diana's water points by simply raising $2500.

Every dollar of the first $2500 will be matched so we can fully fund one water point.  

Which means clean water for a village, complete with a trained mechanic and a system that ensures that they will get their water from a well that works.

Go here to donate today to have your funds matched.

And we can be a part of making Diana's dream come true.

I know that i put this up late!
i got busy and distracted and didn't post until now.... but that doesn't mean it's too late.

let's pull this off today people!

we can do it!
 

there is still time TODAY to raise $2500 for Diana!

every person deserves clean water.  
we are so blessed to live in a place that can turn on the tap and drink!

Let's BLESS Diana TODAY! 

you can give any amount.. $20 today is $40!

give $100 today and it's $200 because of One Day's Wages!
This is so awesome!

any amount you give is making a difference! 

 

a saturday post :)

yesterday between my boys' basketball games i ran into Joann's.
on both sides of town.
and michaels.
that pom pom yarn was on clearance for .97!

score.

it will be so much fun to use!

the fabric is all from Joann's too.  In fact... i bought nothing at michaels this time.

 

waffle got his hair cut again.
i like him so much more when his hair is short.
he just feels cleaner.
i am not sure if he is... but it seems like it.

 

still no eggs.
but i know it won't be long now.
:)

 

have you seen this book?
it is my FAVORITE home decor & design book!

it is MY style in a book.  

yesterday at Michaels i came across an end cap filled with this brand of scrapbooking supllies.
i was in love.
i liked EVERY SINGLE thing they had.
it made want to make all kinds of things!
i immediately felt inspired.

i went home and found their blog.  SIMPLE STORIES.  enjoy!

i am pretty sure you will love it all too.

two kitties are even more fun than one kitty!

 

and lastly....
look what my friend Pam gave me from her garden?!
