Support Baby Brynlee

On July 25th it may have been a normal every day for most of us out there but not for this family. Time stands still right now for the Phariss' and I am asking you to take a few minutes out of your day to check out this amazing family. 

Meet the Phariss Family

We are hoping to raise funds to help Holly & Brandon as Baby Brynlee has come much earlier than expected! 

On July 25, Holly's doctor performed several tests, and sent her home on bed rest because of HELLP and preeclampsia. After the results came back dangerously high, they rushed Holly to the hospital. Sure enough, in the early morning hours of July 26 baby girl Brynlee was born at 3lbs 6oz- two months early! 

Brynlee was transferred to a different hospital due to the NICU being full. She has needed assistance breathing and has a feeding tube. 
Holly is still in the hospital being treated for preeclampsia. It is a miracle that she didn't have a stroke and they are keeping a close eye on her in hopes that she doesn't have a seizure. Her numbers are looking better every day!

The road for this sweet family has just begun and no one knows what lies ahead for them, but we do know that it won't be as easy as we all hoped. 

At this time, we are hoping to help financially as the medical bills for Baby Brynlee's long stay will be significant. 

Please send your donations, big or small, to help our sweet friends. 
Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers for Baby Brynlee and her sweet parents! They are all champs, and we know that God is working mightily for them.

Play Room

As promised, little by little I've been taking pictures to share our new home with you- not so new anymore. But hey being a momma keeps you busy and the biggest trial has been keeping the house clean long enough to take pictures... by the time I clean it and find time to take some pictures.... It's time to clean again. Addelyn is into everything and I'm constantly chasing after her! Life has been speeding by faster and faster each month and hopefully once Addelyn's Birthday, my Birthday, and our Anniversary passes time will slow down... well at least until the holidays. So bare with me... Here it goes room by room:

The Playroom
I had started planning this room prior to our move, the idea of having a place for Addelyn to play, create, dream and make a mess was one of the most exciting parts of the new house to me. This room will most likely be ever changing as Addelyn's developmental needs change and she grows. I see a chalk board/ art gallery wall and craft/ play table in the near future and maybe a play kitchen etc.. 

 This wall... lets just say drives me bonkers. If we had the time it would be done yesterday, but as of right now we just don't so bare it will be for now.

The room still needs:
1. Eventually that bare wall will have a chalk board on half and art gallery display on the other. 
2. Paint
3. Lighting
4. Functional shelves/storage in the closet
5. SEATING!
