big grasshoppers, big locusts, wasps, bees and dragonflies too.
it's to the point where i don't flinch when they come around anymore.
the kids are getting better too.
before we were all afraid when wasps came around.
but it's getting much better.  
and when we can catch them and observe them for awhile…even better.

country living is pretty great.  
i am so glad we are here.

 

………………………………………………..

i am a little late in blogging about it but it's never too late to do good.
friends of mine Jessica and Kim are part of BIG project to help the people of Sudan.
you can read all about it HERE

it cost $0.06 per serving to feed the 200,000 people in Sudan, Africa who are currently dying of starvation.
six pennies?
oh my.
i think we can all pitch in.
it's a big faith move to ask that enough is provided to be able to mobilize food to this region.
we can help!
we all have excess.
even when we don't think we do… WE DO! 
you can donate directly on that site.

you can go to her printables shop
and get some really fabulous prints with the Hope project's theme verse.

what a great way to start your Monday!
let's be the hands and feet of jesus.
let's help feed His sheep.

literally.

For reals.
Thank you friend. Soooooo much.

Emily - We do have so much! Thanks for the print… bought one to add to my hall! It’s a perfect reminder as a mother too.

Stephanie - 🙂 we donated too. I tell my kids about the kids in Sudan often and this is a great way for me to show them a tiny way in which we can help.

amanda d - my brother just got back from South Africa and I’ve loved hearing the stories and seeing pictures. skipped Subway today to buy a print – thanks for sharing! 🙂

Becki - Those shots with the grasshopper and the jar with your daughter looking in… stunning!

Krys - The kids and I donated 🙂 We already printed out our turquoise sketch and have it hanging up – it was so easy – and every time we walk by it we can remember & pray for the families in Sudan. Thanks so much for letting us know about this! Just lovely <3
