{Five on Friday} Special Thanks + A Party in a Box
1} A Big Thank You
Let me preface this post by saying thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your kind words, encouragement, and support yesterday for this new endeavor that Stacey and I are embarking on. If you aren't sure what I'm talking about, you can read all about our new business, Cupcakes & Confetti, here.
2} North Pole Breakfast Party in a Box
Speaking of our new business, I mentioned yesterday that you mamas wouldn't want to miss out on one of our products that would be offered for a limited time. With Christmas right around the corner, all of those elves are going to be making an appearance in our homes to keep an eye on our babies to see if they've been naughty or nice. With that said, what better way to welcome them into your home than by hosting a mini breakfast party to introduce your kiddos to their new house guest. Our "North Pole Breakfast" party in a box kits are priced at $20 each (+$6 shipping if you aren't local). Boxes are planned for families of 4 (additional settings can be added) and include plates, cups, napkins, paper straws, a tablecloth, fun letters to Santa cards, and fun FREE pre-prepped party printables to get your kiddos excited! If you're interested in purchasing one of these boxes, shoot me an email at cupcakesandconfettinc@gmail.com or leave me a comment below and I'll get back with you!
3} Ask and He Answers
Y'all, I'm ashamed to admit it but sometimes in my day-to-day life, I forget that God is always there. But on Wednesday night, He gave me the most perfect reminder. Wednesday I was off work and spent the better part of the day tackling a long list of to-do's. I cleaned floors, cleaned out closets, finished decorating Harper's big girl room, and switched over her things into her new room. However, by the end of the day, I realized very quickly I had overdone myself. I started having pretty intense contractions. They finally subsided and I thought all was okay when I realized, I hadn't felt Boston move all day. Usually he keeps his movements until late in the evening so as I laid in bed I waited, and waiting, and waited. By 10 o'clock I was starting to worry so I began to pray. I prayed that God would allow me to just feel one little flutter. Just one little reminder that our little guy was okay in there. And you know what? No sooner had I said "Amen" and our little guy started squirming. That my friend is proof that our God listens and He answers.
4} Making the Switch
As I said, on Wednesday, I finished up Harper's big girl room. My goal is to try to get her to sleep in there this weekend. I don't have high hopes even though I've been telling her for weeks now that that is her "new room". She'll occasionally point out that Rimy, our dog, is sleeping on her "new bed". But whenever I try to get her to come play in her new room or lay in her new bed, she promptly runs to her nursery. So prayers for the weekend would be appreciated! I suspect this could be a long one haha

Wednesday evening Harper went to Chucke Cheese with her Daddy and grandparents and from the looks of things, she made herself comfortable there haha
Yes! God will always listen and answer you! That party in the box is such a cute idea!
