Happiness is. . .

a fat new bar of French lavendar soap. . .


pretty is the burpcloths I made for an old friend's new little baby sweetie girl. . .



funny is  Ben leading singing, but the really funny part is the songs he cobbles together and words he supplies. . . . Philadelphia Chickens meets "Jesus has forgiven me, the blood He shed on Calvary. . ."



real is our old car and how we counted down the miles to 200,000.  It turned over when Ben and I went 2 miles down the street to drop off a trunkload of styrofoam for recycling.

Hurray for old cars! Especially if they are paid for! :)

Leading singing...I do believe every church going child mimics this. So sweet.

I love the lyrics children can think up :) Philadelphia Chickens is one of our favorites too.

I love those burp cloths!!!!

And I LOVE that singing boy!!!

We are high mileage drivers too. My husband's last car met an untimely death at 375,000 miles. His current car is at 270,000 & he considers it 'young.' frugality at work!!!!

Adorable burp rags! When we have our next baby I'll have to make some of my own. They are super sweet and I love that you can pick out any cute fabric that suits your fancy!

Also, I really like your Chesterton quote! So true.

Philadelphia Chickens! We have that at the library, and I sometimes play it while working in the children's dept. Hilarious!
