Rainy Days

Lately Joella's days consist of playing at the park, going on walks, sliding, or swinging (probably her favorite). Pretty much anything outside!
Good thing Grandma Debbie is willing to play outside in the rain!

Next rainy day that you need a good book to read, check out one of my new favorites, Half the Sky. It should be at most public libraries (returning my copy today in CF) and it's also available at World's Window.

p.s. Joella got to hear Matt's voice yesterday when he called. You can tell she gets excited about it. I can't wait for her to get to hang out with him again! It's going to be an entirely different family dynamic than we've known so far but it's going to be so much fun. Oh, and Matt's a captain now - woo hoo! It's pretty much based on time in service, but I can still be proud :) Sounds like he's learned a lot during his deployment and has really improved with his flying. Also, I wouldn't recommend sending any more boxes (he's moved again) & he'll be headed this way before you know it (not soon enough - still about a month out)! Hmm - long p.s. I guess!

Fair Trade Gnome!

Yikes, I live with a colorful little gnome...
who loves her fair trade jacket from World's Window (awesome Christmas present -- THANKS!)

and also likes to play with her fair trade soccer ball (close call though - Kaeda might like it more)
doesn't get much cuter than that...
Although functionality wise I'd give it a 7/10.
Darn hood doesn't stay up very well.
But she loves it anyway because that means she gets to play outside!

Happy Fair Trade Day tomorrow, everyone!!!
Fair Trade means that the people who make what we buy are treated fairly. Fair Trade promotes environmentally-friendly production and organic farming.

If you want to see some more neat fair trade items and have never been to World’s Window in Cedar Falls, find me. I have a 15% off 1 item coupon just for you (limited supply)!

Plus, if you are free Saturday, check out The World's Window Facebook page for more details of what's going on including fair trade coffee & food samples and a drawing for a $25 gift certificate.


p.s. Hopefully you don't take this post as fair trade snobbish. I just recently learned about it and am doing what I can to make simple changes in my purchases going forward. Joella just happened to be showing 2 of them off at once :)
