Hello,
dear friends. So the past few months have flown by in a tizzy-a whirlwind of
chaos in the Winkle household! My mother-in-law suffered a brain aneurysm, then
a stroke and blood clots. She is on the mend now. Thank God!
I have
had a re-occurrence for the third time in my life of Bell’s
Palsy. It is a facial paralysis on one side (my left side). Sometimes it lasts
a few weeks or six months to a year, or it could be permanent. I had it at age
5, 20 and now at 37. The other two times
it lasted a little over a month. At age five it was on my left, and then my
right side at age 20. Both times it was more embarrassing since I was in
school. Even college kids can point!
Thankfully,
while I initially was sad the position I held as an instructional coach was no longer available due to funding cut (there were about 60 of us let go in May), I am now thankful to be
staying-at-home and homeschooling my son because of the reoccurrence of my Bell’’s
Palsy. So I suppose it is a blessing in disguise.
The
stuff that makes it difficult is speaking (speech is slurred), eating ( I often
bite my lip or food/& drink falls out the left side), and driving ( I
cannot do it wit h only one eye working well). I wear an eye patch. I have
chosen to find the silver lining and decorated some eye patches so I look super
cool with my customized eye patch!
We have
also had birthdays, a birthday and holiday party at our house, a death of a
distant relative and a birth (my cousin’’s little one). So that is why
I have been an absent author. I hope I still make Santa’’s good
list!
Today I
want to share just some of the many neat things I have found online lately that
are holiday-related.
I
saw this on Pinterest. You draw a snowflake and then put wax paper over it, and
then use puffy paint to trace over it. Let it dry and then you have made a DIY
window cling!
This
was on Facebook on the ABC Family 25 Days of Christmas page, and someone shared
this snow globe her daughter made. I have a ton of these clear cups in my
cabinet and so my little boy Harrison and I now have something to make!
At Living Locurto, you can download a fun scene for your Elf on the Shelf to be apart of. We
do have our own mischievious elf named Skippy Dimpledot. He is a little chunkier than
the usual Elf on the Shelf but still just as fun. Plus, we write notes to him
daily so he helps us with our writing skills!! This is what he has been up to...
Oh and I tried to make some Star Wars snowflakes!!
Also
from the ABC Family FB page, check out these amazing nails that look like a
Christmas sweater!! I am so jealous. I have never had a steady hand to really
be able to do nail art. The best I could
do was this~ Frozen nails!!!
What
a neat art project! Jingle bell painting! Found at Happily Ever Mom.
