Gifts that Give Open House

Spring and Summer around our house = we need gifts for Mother's Day, Weddings, Birthdays, Baby Showers, Teachers Gifts, etc....   You have to purchase gifts anyway, why not make them count twice, or even three times over.  Many of you already know that I stock Pamba Toto inventory here at my house.  First thing you need to know is that I make absolutely NO money from selling these products.  I sell them not for monetary gain but for the chance to be a part of the lives of 23 orphaned children living at Sanctuary of Hope Orphanage in Kenya.  The children who live at SoH were rescued from living in the slums of the Mathare Valley with no one to care for them.  I cannot even begin to imagine my children no only being all alone, but all alone in a place filled with crime and disease.

The products are beautiful and make lovely gifts.  A gift for the woman who made the item and is now receiving a fair wage doing honest work to provide for herself and her family.  A gift to whoever receives your purchase.  And a gift for the children of SoH who will benefit from the profits raised from the sale.  See, it is the gift that keeps on giving.

I just received a new shipment of products from Pamba Toto.  Many new items that you are just going to love!
Here are some pictures of the new products.  I am not a photographer :) but it gives you an idea.  I also have new bead necklaces.  Please plan to stop by my house Monday or Tuesday this next week to shop.  Children are always welcome! <3   If you are unable to come and would still like to purchase something let me know.  I keep this at my house all the time, so keep it in mind anytime you need to purchase a gift.

Team Judkins Headquarters
Monday and Tuesday  9am to 1.30pm

the dilemma of the special needs mama: to expect more or to redefine the expectation

Image
This morning I found myself in yet another medical room with my daughter.  One more specialist, one more opinion, one more door opening to a thousand more questions.  Appointment number three for this week.  Again not anything new for us. I explain once again my daughter's history.  I explain once again the list of challenges that she faces daily.  I explain once again what I hope to gain from this type of appointment.  I ask some of the same questions I have been asking for two and a half years.  I wonder in my  heart if what I have done is enough.  I try to explain why this particular visit was so long in coming.  "You see, it just hadn't risen to the front of the triage list of all the needs for not just this daughter but my entire family.  But we are here now and we are hoping for some new information on what should come next."  Silently I hope for some great new idea to come spilling forth from their mouth. I am assured by this new specialist that I a

lessons of christmas: joseph and mary

Image
In the wonderful busyness that surrounds this time of year it is easy to loose sight of the reason behind all the celebration.  The enormous gift of God.  The sacrifice of love.  The importance of those three words: God With Us.   And so for the days leading up to Christmas, I like to go back to the the original story in the Bible and to try to read it again.  Not as a memorized story, but one that holds new life and meaning.  This year as I have read and reread, I am captivated by Joseph and Mary.  Over and over again the story tells of their obedience resulting from their faith.   God says.  And they do. No hesitation. I believe God chose them because He knew their character.  He knew their love for Him would outweigh any of their fears.  This calling from God put them on a crazy, wild adventure away from the home they had known.  To Bethlehem where Mary would give birth in a cave with animals then fleeing to Egypt to protect their new son's life then

preparing for surgery: a surprise vacation

Image
I LOVE surprises.  Kevin and I often joke that surprises are my love language.  Being the receiver of a surprise is almost as fun as planning one for someone else.  And this is why, a few weeks ago, I found myself wide awake the night before our big adventure. We did not tell anyone we were leaving.  In this world of social media, it really felt like we were sneaking away. There was and is so much to be done before Elie's surgery.  The November 3 date on the calender seems to be rushing at us with lightening speed.  If we went by to do lists we knew we needed to stay home and "get stuff done".   But something else was stirring in Kevin and I.  We needed to get away.  We needed to build a memory for our family that we could think back upon in the coming months.  We needed to spend time together away from the chaos of life. Thursday night we planned it out.  Friday, while the kids were away at school, I packed our family up for our adventure, turned off my phone
