Mi Querida Familia: Toys That Last

Toys That Last

When my sister and I were small, my Mom made these quilted activity books for us. We played with them forever! Danny played with it when he was small. Now Gianni is playing with it. And miraculously somehow over the course of 30 years, none of the small pieces with Velcro backing have been lost! Even the plastic 3 ring binder hasn't cracked or faded or broken. Thanks, Mom!! ...especially for the extra moments in bed we are quietly enjoying right now!!

I'm Renee. I am first, and only, a child of the King of Kings. I am a wife to my husband who grew up in Costa Rica, and Mama to my two boys, one still on the way. Home is in Colorado Springs, but it's also been in Costa Rica and San Diego. We raise a bilingual household. I am a small business owner. I use cloth diapers, I make my own baby food and I am proud to be a Babywise mom. I am opinionated, outgoing and bold, but Jesus daily brings forth loveliness. I am a Southern California girl who says ya'll and I like to start my sentences with conjunctions. I worship loudly with my eyes closed, my hands up, and (usually) tears streaming down. Writing and speaking are great loves of mine. Skin care is my trade. Jesus and his people are my reason for being and my boys - the most important people in my life - get my kisses daily. I believe in living BIG. In giving EXTRAVAGANTLY. And in loving DEEPLY.
