Reaching a milestone

We have now completed the first phase of paperwork!  This Friday we will meet with our social worker for the first home study visit.  It is a bit intimidating...okay a lot intimidating.  The thought of someone coming into our home and analyzing the functionality of our family, critiquing the way we parent is making me nervous.  Imagine if everyone had to go through the same processes in order to have a biological child.  I am not saying I would want that kind of control or intervention, but we would probably have a lot less orphans in the world.
Please pray that we can just be genuine and real, and not try to put on a show and be the people-pleasers we try to be sometimes.

We are trying to come up with some new fundraising ideas.  Have you or anyone you know participated in a fundraiser that was successful?  I am pondering the idea of preparing meals or baked goods for others.  I thoroughly enjoy cooking and baking, food of any ethnicity, and would be willing to prepare meals or baked goods for whomever in exchange for a donation or flat fee.  If you or anyone you know are interested in this fundraising idea let me know.
I am also making hair clips for little girls to wear.  I sold quite a few at the yard sale.  I am selling them for 1.50 each or 2.50 a pair.  Here are a few I have made for Selah:

Here are a few of the ribbon choices I have:

Let me know in the comments section if you would like to purchase any.  If so, leave the following information:  how many, favorite colors, and if you want any little jewels, bows, or resin appliques added on (I have ladybugs, cupcakes, flowers).  Or if you want me to just surprise you I can do that too. ;)

I hope your summer is awesome and you are having a blast in the sunshine just like we are.

Blessings,

Sonja
