planting chums giveaway - and those pesky allergies

i love this

4 - Four Fridays of CONNECTIONS (forging friendships) My daughter, Hannah, is hosting an amazing give-away. And I mean amazing. Wait. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.  Let me just state that this bracelet is stunning. And, if I wasn't Hannah's mother I'd be right there signing up to win it.

Planting Chums is her new title for her week 4 project.  I love the new name.  This is the week 1 of 4 that I wrote about below.  You remember, the post about coffee?  Mmmmm...coffee...I'm firing up the Keurig as I write.  :)  I'd love for you to join in.  There's an adorable journal, fabulous prints, and some earrings made by the same designer Marchese Creations  who created that FABULOUS bracelet. I think I might just need to "send my kids" over to the site for some new mother's day ideas. ;)

And don't you just love the new button?  When I came home from my Bible study (The Truth Project) last night she was so excited to show this to me.  I think it's beautiful...and inviting! Would you leave me a comment if you peek at her blog? I'd love to hear from you. :)

My allergies are terrible right now.  I never had them until five springs ago.  I'm allergic to the pollen from trees, specifically birch trees.  Honestly, as much as I love spring I also dread spring.  None of the meds really help, so this year I'm trying to move forward through the season with natural remedies and prayer.  I'd love if you'd say even a quick prayer for me.  I've been praying that every day my body gets a little better and that I'm winning against the allergies. I have to carry an Epi-pen because when my allergies are in full bloom (Camden that was a pun for you) I can't eat any produce from trees.  It's because they are all related, kind of like distant relatives.

So....if you see a post come through at, let's say, 3am...now you know why.  I was up sneezing!  And then writing.  Thanks for your prayers.  And, if you know of any remedies or tricks that you know of I'd love to see them!
