Thank you for your honesty. I think sometimes we think we're supposed to be brave and just take everything in a stride. But poverty is scary. Crime is real. And knowing and feeling those things doesn't make you less compassionate, it just means we're accustom to a different reality. A reality we are supremely blessed to live in.

I love your party throwing style. It has all the fun touches of the big overdone nonsense that is so popular these days, but without the over thinking drama of it all. I need to learn a lesson here.
Happy Bday Sweet P!

Done :)

Jami, thank you so much for your thoughtful descriptions of Haiti(!), a place close to my own heart. The needs are raw and real and open like a wound. We've got to keep looking-I love that! Although our family gives to global needs, I struggle more to adapt my lifestyle to decrease the atrocious conditions that exploit the poor (things you have talked about before like consumerism,etc). The deaths in a Bangladesh factory wrecked me. Any thoughts?

Awesome job. I'm very inspired for a couple of bday parties I have coming up. And not the copy-every-thing-you-did inspired. More like, think outside the "elmo birthday party" box inspired.
(And I wish I had your throw it together shortly before and it comes out amazing skills. Nope, I'm a planner. And even then it's not always what I wanted it to be. BUT, I am good at remembering it's about WHO the party is being thrown for. Is the kid happy? Yes? Then, job well done. :)

This is so cute! I love that you love to throw parties but don't get so cray about it. I mean, I'm sure you do sometimes but you can't be super nuts AND a super procrastinator. Resourcefulness is your friend, my dear, because everything looks super inviting and fun and perfect for a little cutie like Penelope!

I'm curious about the drinks. You didn't mention what they were. Were they lemonade? They kind of look like lemonade.

My Morgy was born 3 mths premature- she's so bright & kind & funny! But I know what you mean about those Mama fears. When our children have special needs it messes with us. I've found that my view of special needs has changed. God has softened my heart toward these sweet & vulnerable souls. As it should be.
I feel for those who are caught up in a world that doesn't accept or cherish them. I promise to pray for you & Lila.
