\xa0 Hey Friends! I hope you all had a wonderful week! This week, on the family side of things...\xa0 The subject line of this email says it all... the darn deer ate my corn... the bunny (I've only seen one but I'm sure there are more) ate the leaves off of my strawberry plants, the... something... ate my only female zucchini flower, but nothing has touched my tomatoes yet, so I'm holding out hope! \xa0 It rained SO much in the past week, my watermelon plant has taken up an entire half of one of my garden beds, and the pepper plant a mystery creature pulled out of the ground earlier in the season has a flower, so it isn't all bad! \xa0 I love everything about my newbie gardening journey. I love that we are doing it with the kids. I love that they love to water the garden. I love watching plants grow and flower. I love the anticipation of it all and learning to role with the punches when something doesn't go according to my plan. \xa0 I'm currently on the hunt to identify the best way to build a super cheap (ideally with materials we already have) greenhouse that is also strong and does the job well of protecting against these stinker garden guests next Spring. I get it, they were here before we were, but if they could just... not... that would be great! They are more than welcome to rummage in my compost bin. There are plenty of treasures in there! |

\xa0 This week, on the business side of things...\xa0 I'm continuing to dive deep into messaging and crafting messages that speak to people and create desire. \xa0 I'm running alot of tests and learning a lot. I'm excited to see who the winners are. I have my guesses, but they aren't always right. We shall see what the data says! \xa0 Aside from that, we are getting the August 15th shipment all prepped and ready to go. I always love this time of month because I know so many amazing women will have the newest jewelry set in their hands in the near future. \xa0 I design the jewelry sets months in advance and whenever I finalize a design the excitement of sharing it starts itching at me! \xa0 It's like Christmas for me every month, just as much as it's like Christmas for all of my subscribers as they receive their new jewelry and learn of the true story of the inspiration behind it in their mailboxes. \xa0 The thought that as they are reading the postcard they are connecting the story to their past experiences and the jewelry set that I designed with meaning behind it is taking on a special meaning in their hearts just gets me SO EXCITED! \xa0 Anyways, I love my job and am so grateful that I get to share my\xa0Monthly Jewelry Clubwith so many rockstars each month! Thank you all!\xa0 \xa0 A friendly reminder that we are a Jesus-lovin' crew that is here to pray for you. If you'd like to submit a prayer request you can do that anonymously here, and we WILL pray for you!\xa0 \xa0 Thanks for being here! \xa0 |

My Memmett, oh how mama loves you. His gentle, sheepish, and sweet voice saying "thank you Mommy", or "Yayyyy" when I say yes to something just WARMS. MY. HEART. But what really moves me is his little prayers at night. "Dear 'Jedus' thain you for todayyy. Aben." He is such a good boy. This was taken on the VERY rare occassion that he fell asleep in the thick of living. He normally never falls asleep like this. It was worth documenting. We love you kid! |
