When asked to help decorate for our teachers TGIF (Thank Goodness It's Food) that was already slated with the "Breakfast At Tiffany's" Theme, I figured since I had already purchased some things... two birds, one stone... and that I'd press the replay button and use it to celebrate our miracle's first birthday party theme as well! So here are some pics of her birthday party as well as our Teacher's Appreciation "Bruncheon"!<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rtj2jbWS-xo/W-SgUO20aiI/AAAAAAAAKiI/OyXhTy1LGBE9qTrV7ZstDnO2TAZVJtZCACEwYBhgL/s1600/BreakfastAtValleys.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rtj2jbWS-xo/W-SgUO20aiI/AAAAAAAAKiI/OyXhTy1LGBE9qTrV7ZstDnO2TAZVJtZCACEwYBhgL/s640/BreakfastAtValleys.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

Have you been wanting to make someone smile? Like physically smile, and not because of something seen from a screen? Well if so, this post is for you. Let's be honest, it's hard to make someone smile and not be happier yourself. We're all missing each other, and having some sort of human to human interaction, even if it is from a safe distance. Let's call it what it is. This is such a weird time. A beautiful, chaotic, weird, and dare I say, a little eerie time... with how empty store shelves are on posts I've seen, and how silent roads are now. Have you been like us and looking for a socially acceptable but physical way to reach out? Yes, technology has its' place (and also assisted in the making of these printables), but there's something about having physical human connection that we all inherently yearn for. So get your printer fired up! You're about to make some fortunate friend's day by spreading some sunshine their way!</div>

Every Spring we do Easter Drop offs, and this year for some reason I bought everything before Spring break and even had all the eggs filled before we even left on vacation. What? Weird I know. My kids were like "No Mom we canNOT deliver them before St. Patrick's day... that would be awkward." Ha! Well lucky for them we didn't... and lucky for our recipients, as we made these drop offs and purchased all the stuff for them, before things got to where they are now. Hallelujah that these things are all still available for curbside pick up! The only thing you need though are the eggs, if you don't already have some! 48 for $3! Such a score especially while they still have them, as every year by the time I usually go they're sold out. So strike while the iron's hot on those EGGciting finds friends!

Doing "drop offs" is one of our favorite pastimes, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and even when they're not meant to be doorbell ditched... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the kids always insist on that being their M.O.<br />
Who can blame them? Ah to be a kid!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily all of our friends get us, and (hopefully🤞🏻) love us,<br />
and now more than ever probably don't mind<br />
that we're MIA by the time they get to the door. 😉👌🏻Ha!</div>

Here it is all splayed out! When delivered, everything was placed inside the basket minus the eggs as they were hidden around their yard. I used the TP as a vase for the flowers, and tucked it and the printables right inside the basket with it. Some people didn't get baskets cause we ran out but it still looked cute simply displayed on their porch sitting the toilet paper atop printables. Yes, the toilet paper is wrapped in tissue paper to keep it fresh. For the video on how to wrap it check out my Instagram or Facebook posts. <a href="http://instagram.com/shavonneupdike" target="_blank">Here</a> or <a href="http://www.facebook.com/shavonneupdike" target="_blank">here</a>. In AZ we've had dry weather but if you have some moisture in the forecast pop it in a large ziplock or wrap cellophane around it and top with a bow! That would be adorable! Just don’t forget to tape the “Egged TP’d Loved” and the ”read this first” printables on top of it all or to their door opening so that they’ll see it first thing. </div>

To to recap, just so we're clear, be sure to print out the disclaimer. If people follow directions there will be no spread germs, and we will obviously not assume liability for any germs spread so please print that out. This whole quarantine sitch is a polarizing one with some, so it's better to err on the side of caution. To each their own, and we all agree that we want everyone to be healthy, happy and safe. We love you all. Happy Easter and have fun scattering sunshine!</div>

For this last printable; one page is purposely upside down as it's been formatted to perfectly print in alignment so that you can print double sided. Because of this cardstock is not necessary, though it does make it look nice. Whether from a phone or computer make sure your double sided print option is on for this one. To print - tap on the three dots on the top right then - select export - then print. 💗</div>

Order soon and you can receive these whoopie cushions by tomorrow!<br />

<br />
They come already prepackaged in their individual bags, and I’ve got the printable all sized in proportion to them so all you have to do is print, cut and glue/staple them on and they’re ready to go! <br />
<br />
I’m not getting any kickbacks from the maker of these by any means, I just figured someone may be able to use these printables since I already made them, so I may as well share! 😘 Enjoy friends! Happy Valentine’s Day! 💗<br />

Right here in this post you will find ideas, pictures, free tutorials and printables to make your party a memorable & adorable one!<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nWJLg1uWirc/VsYNnbHLLOI/AAAAAAAAGwM/fVYX9U3N-gM/s1600/STAR%2BWARS%2BSPREAD%2BUPDIKEUPDATES.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nWJLg1uWirc/VsYNnbHLLOI/AAAAAAAAGwM/fVYX9U3N-gM/s640/STAR%2BWARS%2BSPREAD%2BUPDIKEUPDATES.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

I thought I'd do a post similar to something I was hoping I'd find while preparing this last minute Star Wars party for our two littles in two days. I had no idea what I was venturing into... but nothing I found was light colored or the look I was going for. So I made my own and figured someone else may be in the same boat wondering if it was possible to have a Star Wars theme and a cute party not be mutually exclusive. Granted the party took place at night so the party photos don't really do the "fun-ness" justice but you'll get the idea and this post will hopefully be a launch pad for your own ideas! These were the invites to our shin-dig but there are two printable invitation options for your printing pleasure down below.</div>

Our Party's Itinerary:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Entertainment was purely that! We had a special visit from Star Wars Characters! Rey taught all our young ones Jedi training and they all got to test their new skills with their dollar store light sabers on Kylo Ren! Our friends Ian and Christina Jensen's costumes & acting were AMAZING!<br />
<br />
The other games they played involved two sets of teams using two noodle light sabers each (from Target) and getting whiffle balls across the lawn. Whoever got most won! They loved this one.<br />
<br />
Another game played (in addition to the impromptu light saber battles throughout the party:) was the classic Darth Vader piñata which I also got at Target.<br />
<br />
The main event was watching Star Wars on the big screen outdoors with all the fun fixings to munch on that they each put in their white paper bags to take outside and then home with them.<br />
<br />
This party was an absolute blast to plan and even more fun to watch the kiddos enjoy!<br />
<br />
As always, this is not a sponsored post but I wanted to throw out a special thanks to <a href="http://www.thecookiecorneraz.net/" target="_blank">AZCookieCorner</a> for the adorably delicious cookies and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SurpriseCakes/" target="_blank">SurpriseCakes</a> for making this scrumptiously delectable one! Could NOT believe they were able to do this with such short notice. These ladies are BEYOND CREATIVE and TALENTED. <br />

FUN DECOR TIP! To make what I used for the backdrop I just taped two strips of streamers together to make them wider and then folded them up so I could cut fringe more quickly along the sides. Unravel, tape up, and complete them with the printable handles below to finish your light sabers!</div>

Baptism Preview's are put on by each Ward's primary for all primary children who will be turning 8 this year as well as their parents. With so many fun things on the horizon this year for them, it's the perfect opportunity to introduce and explain the events that lie ahead such as: the opportunity to be baptized, Activity Days for girls, and Cub Scouts for boys. When I went to look for something everyone was charging money and none were the look or ombré water theme our presidency wanted to go with this year so I made this one and thought it would be nice to share. :)</div>

In case you've also been in a quandary grasping for words to say in light of our world's current events, here's a collection of photos that SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. I'm posting them with the hope that at least one of them may speak to you as well. Though we're thousands of miles away this was a small way I thought we could help spread love around our world, albeit digitally. These are a compilation of photos I've adjusted or put together from things I've found, though I do not claim ownership of them, as the quoted authors & artists are listed on each. The updikeupdates watermark is simply there so that others may be able to more easily grab the higher resolution copies right here to share them, for as we all know copies of copies end up becoming contorted and hard to read. :) Love to you all. ❤️<br />

Fabric- I got my mine from <a href="https://www.texassusannie.com/mobile/Vertical-Black-White_p_548.html" target="_blank">here</a> it's a durable duck cloth and was $10/yard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Tension Rods- you can get them anywhere from Amazon, target to walmart. They're spring tensioned so they'll fit to whatever width you're trying to cover, just be sure to measure your width and to get the right one as they come in size ranges. Since they're hardly visible I got the least expensive ones I could find. I think they were around $4 a piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Fray Check - this is the easiest way to ensure the edge of your fabric stay put and won't come apart over time. Just follow the instructions on the bottle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I measured the distance between the two walls added a half an inch on either side and hot glued both sides under so that it looked finished. I then hot glued it to the top rod, figured out the placement for the bottom one and then hot glued that into place as well. This by far has been the quickest, cheapest, and easiest room transformation. The simple awning balance completely changed the look and added so much character to their little bathroom! This can all be done in under 25 min and under $25 bucks! Simple, affordable, and fun! Can't wait to see how cute yours turns out!</div>

For those who assume I don't keep it real on social media... I would agree to disagree. This is my backup memory, and as we all know memories are selective. So why not be SELECTIVE on something so personal yet so public? Oh I have documented my failures 😂 but that's not where my heart wants to stay. Sad moments are often much harder to forget than than happy ones are to remember. So as I remember selective bits and pieces I want to look back here and see a whole reel of highlights. I believe there is wisdom in putting your best foot forward especially in front of the world. I believe in seeking light, shining, and then rekindling that light in those around us. You attract what you reflect and I choose brighter, sunnier, baby filled days that I hope are in our future. So until then I'm going to try to pick up a mess behind my kids before I post a photo and wipe the food off our faces before we smile for one... At least most of the time. 😜 Not because I'm trying to be someone I'm not but because I'm trying to be who I feel I should be. Call me old fashioned but I believe there is no greater title than that of womanhood, and </span><b style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392);"><b><div class="post-coupon ju-pre-coupon-box-0" data-post-color="#9ea363" style="width: 311.1875px; padding: 10px; margin-left: -10px; display: inline !important;"><ul id="ju-coupon-list" style="display: inline; padding: 0px;"><li class="active couponcode" id="couponcode0" cp="27832" style="list-style: none; height: 119px; display: inline !important;"><span style="font-weight: 300; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I don't believe it suits us to put ourselves down in order to be likable or real.

Neither of your accomplishments are better or worse than the other's, they're just different. Beautifully different. Neither is a rose prettier than a tulip. If blooming next to one another I doubt either flower would compare itself to the other, they would just bloom right where they are, as unique as they are, in the space they were given. Those who spend time on things that we wouldn't don't have more time than we do, it just means they prioritize their time and show their love differently. We are all doing the best we can with what we have.

I placed several paintings depicting Christ's life around the room with descriptions of what He did over them (ie: learning carpentry from his father Joseph, healing the sick, raising the dead, telling truthful stories/parables, feeding the hungry, leading by example, rebuking sin, comforting the weary, being baptized, atoning for ours sins, etc.) You can spread out lots of different types of shoes which they'll walk by on their way to choosing which picture they want to stand under. I then walked around the room pointing to each and asking how we may find ourselves in "shoes" similar to those He wore by being in similar situations. Whether helping those in need, being baptized, being teachable, leading by example, telling the truth or standing up for what's right, we can always emulate and follow in the footsteps of our Elder Brother, Jesus Christ. Even though we often times fall short, by putting ourselves in other people's shoes we can better understand the perspective of others and love them more fully. </span></div><div class="separator" style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); clear: both;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UBVvxzo5uus/VaM5RgDbsDI/AAAAAAAAGXc/YHOzITEgJcY/s640/blogger-image-654281378.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UBVvxzo5uus/VaM5RgDbsDI/AAAAAAAAGXc/YHOzITEgJcY/s640/blogger-image-654281378.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mofvfOeQK_s/VaM5TcQds6I/AAAAAAAAGXk/1n_BPL8_nRI/s640/blogger-image--1467144382.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mofvfOeQK_s/VaM5TcQds6I/AAAAAAAAGXk/1n_BPL8_nRI/s640/blogger-image--1467144382.jpg"></a></div><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); clear: both;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I then pointed out the different types of shoes there were; most were for everyday purposes, some were for work, others had been worn on perilous persuits, others were more glamorous, athletic or just down right unfortunate looking and looked like they'd perceived by some to be better suited for the trash.

While it's amazing, brilliant, and glorious it also brings truth to the statement that too much of a good thing isn't always best. Which can become rather worrisome seeing as our daughter is allergic to commercial sunscreens and breaks out in rashes and hives that can last for weeks from a single use. Sunscreens are supposed to be safe right? Unfortunately in most cases those chemical laden bottles touting to be "all natural" wander far from the truth. Have you ever seen what it does to women's painted or acrylic nails, or to the elastic in swim suits or rubberbands? Yikes. I'm no rocket scientist but judging by how quickly it degrades sound substances I'd rather not slather our bodies' largest organ with it, literally forcing it into our pores and bloodstream in mere seconds. Nah. There's got to be a better way and along the way, as many of you our friends and family know we've been trying to bring another little into our family for years... and have such met with countless doctors almost everywhere... spending thousands of hours and dollars learning about health. Along this journey we have been warned of the danger of the ingredients in typical sunscreens and have since tried dozens of different brands of sunscreens which can't seem to stand up to the tried and true method of physically blocking out sun rather than relying on chemicals to limit exposure. <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Living in one of the sunniest places on Earth we realized we needed to try and find another solution.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">After many unsuccessful internet searches and returning from multiple shopping trips empty handed when trying to find long sleeved SPF rashguards... not to mention easy to take on and off via the zipper, with timelessly adorable styles... matching bottoms and cover ups?! ...

Needless to say when I saw this adorable mom and skin cancer survivor Betsy Johnson introduce her line of protective swimwear called SwimZip I fell head over sunny heels in love with it all. So what are the odds that not knowing any of this that she would've wanted to team up with us?!

It's been a labor of love and a great excuse for a lot of family time working in one room together! Plus working with the specified products included in the giveaway almost felt like a reenactment of the TV show Chopped... but with a home edition twist, as we had the 8 items to work with and got to make them our own.<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span> I also learned that my husband Greg has mad carpentry skills as he built the a couple things I dreamt and sloppily sketched up (ie. the Monogram Abacus and Jumbo Peg Board Shelf). I'm so proud of him! That boy never ceases to amaze me with what he can do in the zero free time he has.</div>

Going modern I wanted keep the window treatment and art as simple as possible while also framing the window. 2 of the prizes won were an ampersand from Junk Art Gypsyz and four wood letters from Sweet Grace Art. So to keep things simple I thought it would be fun to combine the theme, marquee lights and letters. Thankfully we were lucky enough to be able to have the vendors make them to the exact specifications so we could combine them into one whole fixture on our own. So the center 5 letters (LIGHT) were made by Junk Art Gypsyz and the letters by Sweet Grace Art we just cut wood to match and then painted and attached the letters. </div>

The window treatment itself I felt just had to be the epitome of mid modern with none other than a simple roller shade with a touch of black and white pom pom fringe for a pop of girlie flair. We also had our favorite handy man Jim Ash make a simple custom wood cornice to hide the components.</div>

I wanted the wall to be triangled, textured, and monochromatic so I came up with this idea... and although it's not perfect... we love it! So if anyone's interested I'd be happy to explain how or post a tutorial on how we did it. I won't however volunteer to ever do it again. :) Just lmk if you're adventurous and would like a DIY in the comments below.</div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Want to feel young again? Go doorbell ditching. You know you want to... and if you don't, I bet you know some kids who do. Here my husband and I thought we were going to leave the deliveries to the kids as we supervised from the car. Little did we anticipate that within minutes Greg and I would turn stealth-mode with our little accomplices as he became our getaway driver while we dropped, dashed and scampered into the car before they got the door. Few things in life can match the thrill of racing away as you surprise your neighbors with an unexpected treat... all while they're left wondering who door bell ditched the sweet sentiment. It's the perfect family home evening or FRIENDly activity. Guaranteed to not only bring your family & friends closer but leaving your neighborhood feeling the love as well. Happiness is contagious! Start a fun tradition that will make someone's day and you'll find it made yours brighter along the way! </span></div>

I figured something like this was too fun not to keep going so I came up with these simple printables on Rhonna Farrar's app and used some of Over The Big Moon's ideas here to create them!</span></div>

Deliveries can be as simple, decadent or as personal as you'd like them to be! Depending on your what your budget or time allows, you can leave a baked goodie, friendly turkey hands, or just the printable note to make their day and let them know they're thought of!</div>

Sadly, this couldn't be further from the truth as the very name of our church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You can walk into any LDS church anywhere in the world at any time anyone is meeting there and you will NEVER hear another religion defamed. We believe our time is best spent learning more about Christ's life and how we can pattern our own after it rather than to say negative things about others. </span><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">If you wanted an answer on something wouldn't you go to it's source? Please don't take other's opinions of our beliefs as fact, as many times it is misrepresented. I find it oxymoronic that there are many casting stones when we all emulate the same person and are simply striving to be better people. There are enough atrocities dividing the world and our nation right now, at a time when I believe it is pivotal that we share a common ground. So for the first time ever I'm going to let the world publicly know that I believe in Christ and I am a Mormon. </div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">•If you have questions feel free to visit www.lds.org where they have live Q&A. </div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">•The movie Meet the Mormons is opening in theaters nationwide this weekend Oct 10 and all proceeds go to the Red Cross. www.meetthemormons.com</div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">•If you want to see what the inside of our temples look like, tickets are now available for a tour of the Phoenix Temple before it's dedication. </div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">http://www.ldschurchtemples.com/phoenix/</div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">•An interesting read on us "Mormons."</div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/2083125</div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-E_R_vamn-DI/VDK96KGXswI/AAAAAAAAFvE/1W8G1gmoHkk/s640/blogger-image--786746578.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-E_R_vamn-DI/VDK96KGXswI/AAAAAAAAFvE/1W8G1gmoHkk/s640/blogger-image--786746578.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><br></div></div>UpdikeUpdates.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14682796801997112099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569396233045596936.post-67539948559499683842014-10-01T07:12:00.001-07:002014-10-01T08:18:23.176-07:00here's to a healthIER october!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3LJyT62bmiI/VCwLtSoSrvI/AAAAAAAAFuM/6p2vzKeRdq4/s640/blogger-image-2143256385.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-prqiZR4zZjA/VCwbPB-STyI/AAAAAAAAFuc/waate57g64c/s640/blogger-image-1817453353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-prqiZR4zZjA/VCwbPB-STyI/AAAAAAAAFuc/waate57g64c/s640/blogger-image-1817453353.jpg"></a></div><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3LJyT62bmiI/VCwLtSoSrvI/AAAAAAAAFuM/6p2vzKeRdq4/s640/blogger-image-2143256385.jpg" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-zhM72ecKgrE/VCwGXBSF2rI/AAAAAAAAFt8/ISWqd90kpuc/s640/blogger-image--1811438001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-zhM72ecKgrE/VCwGXBSF2rI/AAAAAAAAFt8/ISWqd90kpuc/s640/blogger-image--1811438001.jpg"></a></div></div>UpdikeUpdates.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14682796801997112099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569396233045596936.post-52142508406738174182014-09-27T07:41:00.000-07:002014-09-29T08:46:47.253-07:00directions: press play, close your eyes, and listen.<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="324" src="http://cache.vevo.com/m/html/embed.html?video=USUV71401303" width="575"></iframe><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I wish every single person I know could hear this song, and that I could tell each of you how amazing I think you are. No matter your circumstances, <span style="font-size: large;">you are enough</span>. You are more than your FB status, or your instagram posting habits, or the 59 selfies you took before you decided on one. See that cell phone you're holding? It's more of a <span style="font-size: large;">mirror</span> than any other piece of glass as it not only shows you what you look like but how <b>you're perceived</b>, and what others' <i>outward</i> opinions of you are. Everything for better or for worse right there on that screen, and even when it's not an image of you on it... you're still there and visible ever so faintly in it's reflection. A visual comparison of the <i>real</i> you compared to that photoshoped picture you're looking at. <span style="font-size: large;">You are more </span>than that reflection of you because it is just that; it's mearly a <span style="font-size: large;">reflection</span> of you... it's not <span style="font-size: x-large;">you</span>. Comparison is the theif of joy. So stop comparing your "low" to someone's high point. <span style="font-size: large;">No picture, status or amount of followers, friends or likes can ever dictate your worth</span> or how unique you are. After the social media platforms we now use <i>crumble</i> like myspace, and that fancy <span style="font-size: large;">mirror-like cell phone </span>you're holding quickly becomes outdated, you'll realize <span style="font-size: large;">the</span> constant in our ever changing world is you. You are <i>always</i> going to be you. Amazing, talented, beautiful, <span style="font-size: x-large;">you</span>. </span>UpdikeUpdates.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14682796801997112099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569396233045596936.post-24600179172411050242014-04-18T11:11:00.001-07:002014-04-18T11:24:50.333-07:00Make It A Hoppy Easter<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-AAhupQHv3NY/U1Fqq2oI2XI/AAAAAAAAFkk/8j0wWUGJkEo/s640/blogger-image--1559218938.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-YTJ2QQ4F3YM/U1Ft8CWTKBI/AAAAAAAAFlY/XxDOUC45L5E/s640/blogger-image--221825881.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-YTJ2QQ4F3YM/U1Ft8CWTKBI/AAAAAAAAFlY/XxDOUC45L5E/s640/blogger-image--221825881.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-TtT8sBm_ZK0/U1Fs0j3N2mI/AAAAAAAAFlA/Fa2V7QZHV-o/s640/blogger-image-1932770633.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-q9VnSkRfEM0/U1Ft6rGBCnI/AAAAAAAAFlQ/OFLP_26ndLQ/s640/blogger-image-137089961.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-q9VnSkRfEM0/U1Ft6rGBCnI/AAAAAAAAFlQ/OFLP_26ndLQ/s640/blogger-image-137089961.jpg"></a></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qDzbUXDpJVc/U1FqpXH4tzI/AAAAAAAAFkc/K_hz_QDYdAQ/s640/blogger-image-1385486951.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qDzbUXDpJVc/U1FqpXH4tzI/AAAAAAAAFkc/K_hz_QDYdAQ/s640/blogger-image-1385486951.jpg"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qDzbUXDpJVc/U1FqpXH4tzI/AAAAAAAAFkc/K_hz_QDYdAQ/s640/blogger-image-1385486951.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-LNrKikwfdKw/U1Ft5eYVW0I/AAAAAAAAFlI/ioG-mSVhsTg/s640/blogger-image--413380630.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-LNrKikwfdKw/U1Ft5eYVW0I/AAAAAAAAFlI/ioG-mSVhsTg/s640/blogger-image--413380630.jpg"></a></div></div><br></div><p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica;">The printable is all formatted & ready to print! </p><p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica;">I just added ribbon to the little scalloped boxes that came in a Martha Stewart package that I got a while back. I bet Hobby Lobby or Michaels has similar things... though slid into a cellophane bag for support I'm sure cupcake liners would be just as cute! Just hot glue some grograin ribbon on to make it look like a basket and handle. My new paper shredder worked great for the white grass too since I couldn't find any anywhere. I also got the white Cadury and Dove eggs at Target! I hope this gives you some fresh ideas for your classes, teachers, or students this Easter Sunday! xo</p></div>UpdikeUpdates.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14682796801997112099noreply@blogger.com1
