Romania Take 2!!

Dear Friends,
I hope things are going well with you. I have some exciting news I want to share! Last year, you may remember I had the opportunity to join a service trip to Oradea, Romania.  It was a great learning and growing experience for me that I will never forget. I’m honored to share that I was asked to lead a trip back this coming summer, August 4-12, 2017. 
The decision to take part in this trip was different than past experiences.  Having gone to Romania last summer, I now have firsthand experience working with the people of Belief in Motion.  My trip last year taught me simply that love is key. In its truest and rarest form, love can break down so many barriers. Seeing the women and children in the surrounding villages stand in pride and feel a true sense of self worth, simply because someone treated them worthy of love and respect is a beautiful thing. This is what I look forward to taking part in again this summer.
I ask that you would prayerfully support me and the team of 10 that I am leading. Pray that our team would be used to help the people of Oradea and Belief in Motion in the variety of ways needed. The travel for this trip will involve not only plane, but also a 3 hour bus ride. Please pray for the safety and health of our team as we travel. I truly appreciate your prayers as I begin to plan for this service trip.
I also ask you to consider supporting me financially. As you can imagine a trip of this magnitude takes careful planning and would not be possible without financial support. By offering your financial support, you are partnering with us to provide assistance to the people of Oradea. The total cost of the trip is $2,000 which includes airfare, bus fair, transportation while in Oradea, food and housing. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated, and your financial support is tax deductable.
If you are able to help, visit Community Christian Church’s site http://communitycc.net/give/ and click the orange button. Please fill out the form by choosing Romania trip in the drop down box for ‘giving type’ and include my name in the ‘note’ section. We will be purchasing our airfare in May so it would be very helpful if we could receive donations as soon as possible. To learn more about the organization and its ministry, please visit their web site at www.beliefinmotion.org.

                                                                        Sincerely,
                                                                         Kari Roy

Diaper Bouquet

  Last spring I was invited to a baby shower and was so excited to finally be able to have a chance to make this! I had found a picture, on Pinterest most likely, but there were no instructions on how to make it. So I figured I'd give it a whirl! Here's how I did it.   You'll need: A wide mouth vase Gifts to go inside Tulle (from a roll) Cylinder shaped styrofoam Diapers Lollipop sticks Ribbon   First, I went to the store and found a large mouth vase and the goodies I wanted to fill it with. A little tip on what goodies you pick: try to get things that are the same height or a few that can be stacked to have a flat top. Mine didn't so I rolled up a rectangle piece of heavy cardstock and put it on top of the box to make it level. Also, try not leave a good amount of space (2-3") for the styrofoam base of the bouquet.   To make the flower part of the bouquet I cut the lollipop sticks into a few different shorter lengths. I rolled the di

Easy DIY Laundry Detergent

Recently, I decided to jump on the band wagon and make my own laundry detergent. I did this for two reasons. One; I was really tired of the liquid detergent I'd been using and the price it cost. Two; I had a wholesale club sized box of Oxi Clean sitting around that never got used and was an ingredient in the 'recipe' I found.  I also knew that if I made my own detergent I really didn't want to cook and do the liquid route. So I found this posting with a recipe for dry, powder detergent that seemed very doable. I changed the recipe a little because I couldn't find Zote bars, but I found Fels Naptha bars, which are actually smaller than Zote, so I had to accommodate for that.   So, I've been using it now for a month or so and I love it! I found all the ingredients in the laundry aisle at Walmart. It was all near each other, but low on the shelves and most of the time, all the way in the back of the shelf. Here's the recipe that I used, adapted from th

100th Day of School

It happened, my sweet 5 year old has been in school 100 days. It seems impossible! So, before I start gushing over where time went and how it happened so fast, I will gather my self and tell you what we planned for the 100th day of school.  If you haven't had a kiddo involved in the 100th day of school they are asked to bring in 100 of something. It can be anything, as long as it fits in their book bag. Derek's first choice was pennies. He continually told me that he wanted to do pennies despite my futile attempts to convince him otherwise. However, by day 97 I had begun to plant the seeds of "Are you sure that's what you want to take?" and "I'm afraid everyone else will have the same thing." and my personal favorite "How about we put 100 stickers on your clothes?"  All I can say is thank goodness he didn't pick the stickers, we would have been very late to school!  So on day 97, we were getting ready to leave Gramma's house when D
