Julia Grace Kenney is here! Julia was born on October 3, 2014 at 11:30am. She weighed 8 pounds, 1 ounce and was 19 inches long. She was 11 days(!) overdue and I ended up having to be induced, but she was worth the wait. My labor was relatively short and she was here before we knew it. She has already brought so much joy to our family and Caroline has been a sweet big sister to "Baby JuJu" and it has been fun watching the girls interact together. It is our prayer that these early years will be the building blocks for a lifelong friendship.<br />

My majorly pregnant self was less than helpful and Curt was usually gone either applying to jobs or interviewing. This left my mom and Mabel to chase Caroline around and keep her entertained. I did what I could, but they were truly lifesavers for me. Thank you!!!<br />

It was such a bittersweet move for us - we were excited to be moving closer to our families, but we were leaving friends behind that had become like family to us. We were also heading into the unknown, as Curt didn't have another job lined up at the time, but we were trusting God to provide a full-time job for him.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures from our last weeks in Boston...<br />

Our family has been through A LOT of changes in the past few months so bear with me. Some of those changes include:<br />
<br />
- a big move from Boston to Virginia Beach<br />
- a new job for Curt - he is the Pastor for Families and Youth at Virginia Beach Community Chapel<br />
- and a new baby! - Julia Grace Kenney (born on October 3rd)<br />
<br />
Since this has become like a family album/scrapbook for us, I want to take my time and give our recent events their own posts on the blog. But in short - God has been so faithful to us to provide for our needs at exactly the right time and place. We are very thankful!<br />

Caroline had a blast playing with her cousins and Curt and I enjoyed relaxing a bit and hanging out with family. We also had a few meetings with churches in the area that were very fruitful.<br />
We are thankful for a fun week. Here are some pictures from our time at home:<br />

There is something so special and unique about handmade gifts and I hope that I can at least pass an appreciation for all things handmade on to my children. I realize that this is a lofty goal, especially as we have more kids, so I've decided I'm not going to feel guilty if I can't make it happen every year. But this year I prevailed!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I thought I'd share this with anyone who might be interested, because both of these projects are very do-able if you like to craft.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For Christmas I made Caroline a personalized board book with the pictures and names of everyone in our family. Since we live far far away from both of our families in the cold (but great!) land of Boston I wanted to make her this book so she could look at (and hopefully remember) the people in her family. I used a company called Pint Size Productions to print the book. It was really easy. They sent me the template for the pages, I designed the pages in Illustrator (see Dad, I <i>am</i> using my graphic design degree), and then submitted a high quality PDF of all the pages on their website. In about 10 days my book came in the mail and it was everything I hoped it would be. And the best part is...Caroline loves it! She could be sitting in the middle of all of her toys and she will grab this book first, which obviously fills me with joy. :)</span><br />

For her birthday present I cheated a little bit. I started making <a href="http://www.sewmamasew.com/media/blog/SMSStackingQuiltedBlocks.pdf" target="_blank">these quilted stacking/nesting blocks</a> for my niece's 1st birthday (she is now almost 3...oops!). I decided I was going to finally finish the project. I'll be honest - this project takes <i>a lot</i> of time. But if you give yourself enough time the sewing is relatively painless and the directions are really easy to follow. Overall I'm happy with how they look. Caroline plays with them (which was the ultimate goal, right?) and they are cute. Maybe if I get ambitious I will make a couple more.<br />
<br />
Just a side note: if I were to make these again I wouldn't do the patchwork quilting on all five sides of each block. It looks too busy. I would also pick about 4-5 coordinating fabrics and use those for all the blocks. I used too many different colors and it became confusing to coordinate them all. Also, at the end of the pattern she recommends hand sewing (using a blind stitch) the lining to the outside of the blocks. I'm sure that makes these blocks look awesome, but honestly I didn't have time for all that hand sewing. I just used my machine and sewed around the top, close to the edge. I think they look great! :)<br />

I realize it's cliche to say that this year went by fast, but it really did! To say that this past year with this girl has been rich would be an understatement. She is so happy, joyful, hilarious, and a good sleeper to boot! What more could we ask for?<br />
<br />
We celebrated her special day by going out to lunch with a few sweet friends. Caroline had her first cupcake and loved it. Thanks for all the birthday wishes, cards, and gifts. She's a very well-loved little baby. She's still a baby, right!?<br />

Happy Eight Months sweet baby!<br />
<br />
I love these pictures of you. They capture your joy so perfectly. You love to flash that sweet smile to strangers and you use it to make them fall completely in love with you...even if they are just checking us out at the grocery store. There is something special about you, girl. Your joy is contagious and I can't wait to see how you use this to make this world a brighter, happier place just by being you.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">

I got behind on the blog again. School started and I have fallen into a black hole of lesson plans, newsletters, e-mails, and Pinterest. My apologies. <br />
<br />
And now that Caroline is already 8 months, I think it is fitting that I now post her 7-month post....more to come soon!<br />

Caroline - </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm sorry that I'm falling behind on your month-to-month posts, but in all honesty it's probably good for you. Hopefully your dad and I will have more kids and then we will be lucky if we can snap your first day of school picture before we hurry you onto the bus while your younger siblings are throwing temper tantrums about who knows what... I say all this to tell you that you won't always be the center of our world and that's okay. My hope for you every day is that Jesus would be at the center of your world and that you would be so secure in His love and the love that your dad and I have for you that you won't mind when you aren't the center of attention. You are so loved and such a joy. Thank you!</div>

I remember before you were born I used to look at your 6 month clothes and wonder how such a tiny thing could ever fit into those "huge" clothes. Yet here we are and you are growing bigger every day. Sometimes an outfit that fit you yesterday is suddenly too small. Your personality remains sweet and smiley, although we've seen a new side to that since you've started teething. You have a new nickname as a result: "Caro-whiney." Unfortunately for you, I think that nickname will stick long past your infancy :) <br />
<br />
You went to the beach for the first time this month. You got to meet some family friends fro the first time and people started calling you "cueball" because of your bald head (bahahaha). Don't worry! I'm sure you'll have some hair by the time your 2nd birthday rolls around. <br />
<br />
We moved to a new apartment just outside Boston and you have been a source of joy through a difficult transition. It doesn't bother you that there are boxes everywhere, that we don't yet have a couch, or that our apartment is approximately the size of a shoebox. We can't believe that in another six months of fun, fussiness, and fancy headbands (much to your Dada's chagrin), you'll be one!<br />

I'm playing a bit of catch-up here. We came home to Virginia for Memorial Day weekend to celebrate a friend's wedding and visit with family. To say we had a great time would be an understatement. This post is very picture-heavy, so I'll let the pictures do the talking...<br />

Happy 5 months, baby girl!<br />
<br />
I know I say this every month, but you continue to be such a sweet and happy baby. You love to laugh and you make us laugh every time you do. You love to put anything and everything into your mouth and I think it won't be long before we see some little teeth arriving. Your eyes are the prettiest shade of blue (just like Papa T's) and we think they'll stay that way. We pray for you every day that there will never be a day that you know apart from God. It's hard to believe that He loves you even more than we do! We are so thankful for you and the joy you've brought us over these past five months.<br />
<br />
xoxo,<br />
Mama and Daddy<br />

I'm so excited to do my very first giveaway today!! Read below to see how to enter.<br />
<br />
This month for my things I'm currently digging, it's all about Arbonne! I am basically obsessed with these products and I really believe in them and this company. To help you understand more about why I became an independent consultant with this company, please read <a href="http://catherineandcurt.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-wanna-be-stay-at-home-mom.html" target="_blank">this post.</a><br />
<br />
Okay! So, here are the six products that I am currently digging. It was really hard to narrow it down to six products, but I decided to spare you from reading my blog for hours and hours. You're welcome!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xvLw-4b_Esg/UbpyEXaGYvI/AAAAAAAAB9w/i7vQMZt44nA/s1600/currentlydiggingjune13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xvLw-4b_Esg/UbpyEXaGYvI/AAAAAAAAB9w/i7vQMZt44nA/s1600/currentlydiggingjune13.jpg" height="640" width="471" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. <b><a href="https://arbonne.com/shop_online/showitem.asp?ProductId=7825&menuId=151&withLinks=1" target="_blank">Makeup Primer</a> </b>I used to use a very well-known makeup primer from Sephora that I loved. I ran out of it and decided to try Arbonne's primer (the price point was almost exactly the same). Oohhh my goodness. I had no idea what I was missing! This primer is like a miracle worker. It fills in fine lines, diminishes the look of my pores, and feels so good on my skin. Also, this primer really helps to soak up excess oils on my face and helps to balance my skin tone and texture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. <b><a href="https://arbonne.com/shop_online/showitem.asp?ProductId=975&menuId=121&withLinks=1" target="_blank">Made In The Shade Self-Tanner</a> </b>Sooo I live in Massachusetts now and just in case you aren't familiar with the area, it's very very cold. For most of the year. There aren't too many good beach days and I can honestly say that my legs have seen the sun approximately 3 times so far this year. Which is why I looove this self-tanner. It actually feels like I'm doing something good for my skin instead of damaging it in the sun. It is moisturizing, creates a natural-looking tan, and doesn't have a yucky smell. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. <b><a href="https://arbonne.com/shop_online/showitem.asp?ProductId=7322&menuId=80&withLinks=1" target="_blank">Re-Mineralizing Body Lotion</a> </b>Like I mentioned in my other Arbonne post, most skincare and cosmetic products contain mineral oil, a product that has no business being on your skin. Even lotions that boast being "all natural" usually still contain mineral oil....go check your labels! Anyone that knows me well knows that I put lotion on every. day. The kind of lotion is really important to me. Can't be greasy. Can't have a strong scent. Has to last all day. This lotion has it all. It feels and smells amazing. It softens my skin and contains vitamins and minerals that make it look great. AND no mineral oil!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. <b><a href="https://arbonne.com/shop_online/showitem.asp?ProductId=750&menuId=105&withLinks=1" target="_blank">Hair & Scalp Revitalizer</a> </b>I just had a baby in January, which puts me smack dab in the middle of incredibly awkward post-partum hair. Moms - can I get an amen?? This stuff is so great. It stimulates re-growth and makes my hair feel super soft and manageable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. <b><a href="https://arbonne.com/shop_online/showitem.asp?ProductId=815&menuId=51&withLinks=1" target="_blank">Advanced Repair Night Cream</a></b> As mentioned above, I love lotions...and this definitely does not exclude face moisturizers. I already bragged about my favorite daytime face moisturizer on <a href="http://catherineandcurt.blogspot.com/2013/05/things-i-am-currently-diggingmay-edition.html" target="_blank">last month's TIACD post</a>. This nighttime moisturizer is my favorite Arbonne product to date. It is thick, but doesn't feel thick on your face. It contains anti-aging properties that help reduce fine lines, increase cell turn-over, and increase your skin's firmness. When I wake up in the morning, my face still feels moisturized, but it doesn't feel greasy. I almost get sad to wash it off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. <b><a href="https://arbonne.com/shop_online/showitem.asp?ProductId=1149&menuId=78&withLinks=1" target="_blank">Arbonne Baby Care</a> </b>This entire line is fantastic! I love the fact that I am using healthy products on my baby with zero fillers or toxic ingredients. But I also love the fact that these products work. Caroline had a bit of eczema on both of her arms, so we tried the baby lotion on them. Within 2 days the patches were completely healed and haven't been back since. Hollerrr!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>So, here's the deal for my giveaway. All you have to do is place an order with me for <i>any</i> amount by 11pm EST tonight and you will be entered in a drawing for a $100 Arbonne voucher!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

He's been a student. I've been a teacher. We've had lots of time in the summers to relax together and two weeks off at Christmas. Of course there have been the late nights studying, trying to make a dorm apartment into a home, the time that I was working two jobs while pregnant, and oh yeah, that time when I was working two jobs with a new baby...eek! But for the most part, we've really enjoyed this first season of life together.<br />
<br />
Curt graduated last weekend and we are entering a new phase of life. The one where Curt gets a job and our sweet baby is growing like a weed every day. As we assess our new situation we realize that we want to have more choices: to be able to spend more time investing in our daughter, to have me stay at home instead of work, and to be able to afford to give more to our church and people we know doing great things for God all over the world. This desire was met with our reality and we realized that we really didn't have choices. I have to work so we can pay our rent. We have to put Caroline into daycare because we both have to work. We have less time together as a family because Curt and I are both working.<br />
<br />
About a month ago, I began exploring my options. I decided to become an independent consultant with Arbonne and it has been a great experience so far.<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Arbonne is a </span></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Swiss-formulated cosmetic, skincare, and heath & wellness</span><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> company with the highest standards and botanically-based ingredients. All of the products are vegan-certified and most are gluten-free as well. I've used the products for a while and to say I love them would be an understatement. Did you know that the average woman puts about 515 chemicals on her skin each day (think soaps, lotions, perfume, serums, hair products, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, make-up, etc)? Also, anything we put on our skin is absorbed into our bloodstream in 26 seconds (think about how a nicotine patch works...). How about if you were to go look at the labels on your lotions, foundation, etc? Do they list mineral oil as an ingredient? Mineral oil is a petroleum derivative (as in, it comes from the stuff we fill our cars with). It is considered toxic and is banned from ingredient lists on skincare and cosmetic products in most countries, except the US. US companies use it because it is a cheap filler, even though they know it's toxic and contains carcinogenic properties. Even the baby wash I was using on my daughter had this as a main ingredient. Yikes. All of Arbonne's products are formulated without mineral oil, animal products or by-products, they are dermatologist tested, hypo-allergenic, ph correct, and vegan friendly. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">So not only does this company give me the opportunity to work from home, it also provides us with healthier options for the products we put on and in our bodies every day. Arbonne makes products we are all already using, they just provide a healthier alternative. The company provides an amazing compensation plan and my hope is that, with some hard work, I can replace my teaching income in the next year and stay at home with Caroline. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Stay tuned if you are looking for healthier products to use on your skin...or even a business that will give you more choices, let you stay at home with your kids, or just make some extra shopping money each month. I'll be posting an "Arbonne edition" of the things I'm currently digging, complete with an awesome giveaway!</span></span><br />

We have spent the last three years at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary while he has worked so hard to earn his Master of Divinity degree. His family and family friends were able to come up for the big day and we had an awesome time celebrating all weekend. We also got to celebrate Tom's 60th b-day, Susan's b-day, and Mother's Day. We are so thankful to so many of you who have supported us over the past three years and we are excited for what God has for us in these next steps. <br />
<br />
Sooo what's next for us? Curt has accepted a one-year pastoral internship position at our church, Citylife Presbyterian. We are moving to the big city and I'm in the process of interviewing at some schools in the city (prayers appreciated!). We LOVE visitors, so please let us know if you are ever in the Boston area!<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures from our fun weekend (warning! this post is extremely picture-heavy:)<br />

1. Trader Joe's Probiotic Smoothies - Am I going to have something from Trader Joe's in my TIACD post each month? Probably. It is THAT good, people. Curt and I are both obsessed with these yogurts. They are so portable and yummy. They contain probiotics - good for digestion, protein - good for this nursing mama, and come in two great flavors - strawberry (my fave) and wildberry (Curt's fave). In the words of my old pal Tom Haverford, "treat yo-self!"</div>

2. <a href="http://barefootandbaking.blogspot.com/2011/09/crockpot-coconut-chicken-curry.html" target="_blank">This recipe</a> for crockpot coconut chicken curry. Yes, you read that correctly. This amazing and alliterative dish is to die for. And it's made in the crockpot! Cooking heaven? I think so.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. <a href="http://feedly.com/" target="_blank">Feedly!</a> Are you addicted to Google Reader like I am? I have lots of blogs that I like to read and Google reader keeps them nice and organized until I am ready to read them. Sadly, Google is getting rid of this amazing service in July (why Google?? whyyyyy???). I needed a solution for my blog-reading craziness - enter Feedly. It's just like Google Reader, but prettier! Also, it syncs with Google Reader, so you don't even have to transfer over the bajillion blogs that you follow...it does it for you. Genius.</div>

4. <a href="https://arbonne.com/shop_online/showitem.asp?ProductId=7380&menuId=53&withLinks=1" target="_blank">Arbonne FC5 Oil-Absorbing Day Lotion</a> I've had oily skin my whole life. I haaate to put lotion on during the day because it makes my skin even oiler...even those "oil free" ones don't do a thing to help me. BUT, I put up with daily face lotion because I know that I need to wear SPF every day if I don't want to look like I'm 95 when I'm 40. So I do it, even though I hate it. Y'all. This lotion is the most amazing thing I have ever put on my face. I put it on in the morning and it completely absorbs all the oil on my face all.day.long. I believe in this product (and the rest of the products) so much that I've decided to join the company (post coming soon about this). All their products are botanically-based, vegan, and contain zero harmful ingredients. If you want some of this goodness for your face and/or body, let me know! I'm happy to hook you up :)</div>

Hi sweet girl! You are three months old now and you are so much fun. You love to laugh, smile, and "talk" to your daddy and me. You are the most amazing sleeper, which makes your mama happy and most mornings I have to wake you up when it's time to eat. I love to wake you up because it's one of my favorite things to see you smile at me and stretch your arms and legs. You are still teeny tiny, most of the time swimming in your 0-3 month clothes. You are already trying to roll over, which makes me think you are probably a genius. You love to listen to your daddy and mama sing and your favorite song seems to be "Hungry Eyes"...which is hilarious, and I'm still not really sure how we figured that one out. Thanks for being so sweet and bringing so much joy to us.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mama and Daddy<br />

I really like it when people recommend things they love on their blogs. So, I thought maybe it was time to share the love and write about some things that I'm currently loving. My hope is that you will find something that you really love and then we can just keep passing it on...enjoy!</div>

1. The Skimm! It's a FREE daily newsletter (e-mailed to you around 6am M-F) that gives you the basic gist of the day's news. They also have a sense of humor...love. It certainly doesn't replace reading the paper, but it's helpful if your short on time and still want to know what's going on in the world. If you're interested, you can subscribe using <a href="http://www.theskimm.com/?r=S7J7" target="_blank">this link.</a> Also - it looks like it's just for girls from their logo, but Curt reads it and digs it too.<br />

After just having a baby, this thing is in.sane. It is really hard, but I love it a lot. It's a mat-based workout and probably more for toning than anything else. Also, she's really nice. I kind of wish we were friends in real life (weird??).</div>

It is essentially like a straight-jacket for your baby. Who wants to mess with wrapping a swaddle every night? Not this mama. This thing zips up (so easy!) and can unzip just at the bottom for diaper changes. We only use it at night, but it calms Caroline immediately and she's sleeping 11-12 hours straight...holler!! Word to the wise - don't dry it in the dryer!</div>

So we're a bit late to be posting about Easter, but this whole full-time-job-plus-part-time-job-plus-baby thing has me worn out! I'm finally on Spring Break (yay!), so I have a bit of extra time on my hands.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We had a wonderful Easter at our church, BUT I have a few things to say about Easter in the Northeast. Now, to me Easter is a celebration. It's a celebration first and foremost of an empty tomb...that Jesus is alive...and that God has conquered all...even death. It's a celebration of new life. It's a celebration of a new season. AND it's usually a celebration of warmer weather and cute clothes. However, in the Northeast it's really hard to wear your cute Easter dress when it's below 30 degrees. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, what's a girl to do? Welp, dress up her baby, of course! Caroline was dressed to the nines in her cute pink smocked dress (smocking - another tradition lost in the Northeast). I had to pair it with tights, a sweater, and a hat....but she still looked adorable. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Here are some pictures from our day.</div>
