I Love to see the Temple

I am just so super excited about these that I had to share! You always hear that you should display images of the Temple in your home. I've always wanted to put some in my kids rooms especially but have this OCD complex with decorating. I could never picture one in their rooms as part of their decor...until now. I have been addicted to Etsy lately, because I went to a boutique fair called 'Oh Sweet Sadies' and saw a stand with these adorable temple prints on them. The best part is that they are a printable file. So for $6, I chose my color and got the digital files to an 8x10, 5x7, and 4x6 print of this:



This is printed in the 4x6 and because of the color I chose It is slightly hard to read in the picture. It says "I love to see the temple, I'm going there someday". Isn't it adorable!? This particular one is from the Etsy shop Paper+Pip.

Now this was was so adorable I had no trouble picturing it in Bella's room. And she also offers it in boyish colors which look cute as well. But I couldn't help but think that it was a little feminine and the style wasn't quite right for Liams room, so I did a search on Etsy for Temple prints and found this one by Momo Prints.

They also offer a boy and girl version. (This shop actually costs $8 and only allows for one size. I got the 8x10) The girl version is cute but I preferred the Paper+Pip detail for Bella's room.



Once we are in the new house I am planning on printing these in either a 5x7 or an 8x10 print so that they are more easily read. But for now, aren't they super cute?! :)

A few things I'm grateful for today!

Yesterday morning was our home appraisal. So of course the night before, even though I was feeling rather under the weather, I bent over backwards to get my house spotless and in ship shape, spring clean, for the appraiser! The next morning (which was yesterday) I woke up with an extremely messed up neck and shoulder!

Thank goodness for this guy (yes I realize this is the most random, strange, picture of him ever! I have never seen it, I pulled it off of his facebook lol)



And thank goodness for his flexible job, that allowed him to work from home. He was able to take Bella to and from school which was essential since I can't move my head, so driving is out of the question! And he took care of all the neediness of our children so I could take it easy.

Then this morning I woke up and it was feeling slightly better, so Ryan went to work and I went about my day with the kids and whoops! Too many lifts of Liam, I'm now bed sent! I can't really move at all without pain shooting through my neck and shoulder. Actually it hurts no matter what I'm doing.

So today I am grateful (again for Ryan cause he took a long lunch) for my sister in law Sydnie who has offered to come and watch my kids!



My great neighbors who are always so helpful, let Bella come and play with her girls while Liam was napping before Sydnie got here and now Bella is still playing there!



My computer and phone of course, for making communication and entertainment possible, and for the TV, which I have yet to watch, but soon will because I am running out of things to occupy me on my computer and phone! :)







Thankfully it is almost the weekend as well, so hopefully by Monday I should be in ship shape! However I'm sure my house will not!
