~Back To School~

Each school year thousands of memories are created.

Some of them are saved in a folder, journal or scrapbook...

But one of the most important memories you will look back on in the years to come will be your child’s school picture. Y

Bijou & Co presents Create Your Own School Picture. From July 24 – 31, our talented group of designers will be listing amazing back to school outfits. Perfect for the first day or school, or school picture day! Not only will you receive a one-of-a-kind boutique outfit, but you will also receive an original 11x17 artist portrait of your child wearing her custom boutique design.

Journal Entry...Grace & Ordinary Miracles

The plan is to daily write a little in my journal...some weeks have much more success.

Some days, it's harder to find the bits of grace and "ordinary miracles"...

Today as I reflected on this week, I found myself being very thankful and humbled by it all.

*side note ~ thanks to the handful of people reading my blog for indulging me*

1. Forgiveness, finding to strength to forgive and how amazing it feels to receive it...it was there in abundance this week.
2. Friendship, spent a lot of time with friends this week. Moments shared listening to the
music of Jack Johnson & Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, folding a crazy amount of t-shirts, singing & getting some much needed clear headed advice.
3. Talking with my husband late into the wee hours of the morning till we couldn't keep our eyes open.
4. Learning of several "accidents" where my friend's loved ones were saved from being seriously injured.
5. Family, and all that it brings. The constant lessons learned and remembering that their love is what brought you to this place.
6. Music...the ability we call have to make it, enjoy it and be moved by it.
7. Prayers being answered in ways that find me grateful that I have found my faith.
