Indianapolis Holiday Market

I am at it again ladies and gents! I attended the 2014 Holiday Market that the Junior League of Indianapolis hosted ( for those of you  keeping count last year I attended in San Antonio due to the fact that I lived in San Antonio). I wanted to share with you some of my favorite vendors in hopes that you will support this wonderful cause in attending their show through November 13-16. 
Find out more about the Indy Junior League here!

Cozy Cabana
I have already chosen my Christmas present as pictured above(anchor bracelet!! but she also has monogram bracelets and other goodies too)- this is Cozy Cabana and she is as sweet as they get. Everything is customizable and created by her- she is adding new product too! She (and a few other vendors) have JLI Holiday Market specials for those who come and see her at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. 

The below three vendors were in the Mistletoe area where there were smaller tables being run by the JLI staff and are all local vendors. 
SEE Salt
How creative is colored sea salt? So many times I have a dish that is drab and can not find a way to "spice" it up without spicing it up, and colored sea salt will do the trick. It does not taste different but looks festive. The sweet lady selling the salt showed me the picture and story of her sweet grandma. Go meet her!! 

Art 2 the Extreme
I have seen some cool things done with crayons but this one was pretty neato- lego shaped crayons :) They also came in other shapes and sizes but these were my fave.

This was on the outer skirts of the Mistletoe area but stood out to me, sadly I did not grab a picture of the name of the group that made them but I love the quality of the leather and metal they combine to make inspirational bracelets



These two shirts basically define me :) So I knew I had to share them too!!!!

 Others that stood out to me:
Paul and Lydia: baby bags and rags, head bands and scarves in some elegant spin off fabrics. they shared with me that their cat fabric can be customized with your animals name on it :)

Pink Eyed Sissies: They use antique optical lenses and upcycle them into beautiful bracelets and necklace charms

 Creative Women of the World
Two Little Fish
Hearts for Africa
Were all three repping their mission by selling products made by and supporting women who may have been trapped or preventing being trapped in human trafficking. 

The booth that had the most crazy going on at all times was Lysse Leggings / 14 Districts ( I mean I had to walk around for a little while before I could wiggle my way in). They are running a major discount/deal for those of you who visit them at the Holiday Mart. 

 I absolutely loved Mod Straps (camera straps/bags and additional accessories) who are also running a bulk rate :) 

 Last but not least I will share my buy/ steal ;) 
 Wonderful Lake 33 is running extreme deals on their zipper/ phone accessible wristlet! I bought a green one and will be seen using it as my gym carrying case for keys, cards and of course phone.   

 Go to the SHOW!! Get some of these wonderful snags and help the JLI raise money for their amazing tutoring, mentoring and preschool partnerships!!!

 Live, Love, Shop!

Review: More Than Just Making It by Erin Odom

Image
{necessary information} I received this book from the author as a part of the launch team for free. The opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone and not those of the author or publisher.

{review: More than Just Making It}  Erin Odom is the woman behind the Humbled Homemaker website, and her book shows just as much of her warmth as her blog. Erin is open and honest and full of grace as she shares her experiences through her own financially frustrated seasons. One thing that I love is that each chapter is sprinkled with bible verses and quotes from other resources she had sought along her journey. Each chapter is an area of life where we get frustrated and specific resources for you to personally seek out if you are in that specific season ( there was one chapter than hit me so hard between the eyes that I had to put down the book and take care of business). Erin reminds us that there is NO SHAME in struggling, and that we are to be open to receive help as well as we offer it.

Life: What 8 Months Can Do

If you are a follower of my blog, you may remember a little posty poo I wrote back in April titled, "Life: Adoption, Foster Care and Us" (if not check it out) which was the first time I was sharing publicly that I was okay if we never had biological children and a peek into my giant bleeding heart for foster and adoption. Well little did I know that only one month later I would be sitting in a doctor's office being told, " Congratulations, no antibiotics for you- you are pregnant.

Ecclesiastes 3:1, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens."

Why do I ever think I know what God is planning and timing is for my life? God continues to remind this planner obsessed girl that His clock knows better than mine. I have had to lean on that more than anything 8 months after that blog. My husband and I are still praying/seeking/interviewing for guidance on where God has laid out for us next in ministry, and currently will be bri…

Life: Not The Mama

Image
I watched Dinosaurs as a kid, and actually do not remember much except I do remember the baby yelling, "Not the mama", which is about what I echo each time I am out and about with the children that I have nannied in my life. I am not a mama, yet but I do care for the children I teach, coach and care for as if they were my own. So every time I say no I am not the mama, I am saying- but their mamas trust me to infinity and beyond with their kids and I do not ever take that lightly. I was chatting with a fellow nanny today and we decided we will make a National Nanny Day 😂

I struggle with mothers day because it is rooted into me deep that I want to be a mama. I want to be a foster mama and be able to stand in the gap as other mamas are working on things. I want to be an adoptive mama and take care of sweet babies ( what ever their age may be) who do not have family. I want to be a secondary mama to any children who are struggling.

With this said, I also had some amazing moms …
