After reading the Lovely Blog Award post, quite a few people wanted to know more about hypnotizing frogs. When Judy and Paulette jokingly suggested a tutorial, I thought "Why Not?" ;) The Why and the How Behind Frog Hypnotism Why would anyone want to hypnotize a frog? Frog hypnotism is a fun activity to do, especially with children. It gets everyone outside and enjoying nature. It is a chance to explore and understand a frog's habitat, as well as to get a very close look at the frog. It does no harm to the frog, as long as you are conscientious and respect life. How do you hypnotize a frog? Needed: A delight in Mother Nature and the ability to not take yourself too seriously. A likely frog habitat: Frogs like wet areas and can be found in and around the edges of creeks, swamps, and ponds, and sometimes even in puddles. Tools: If you aren't as nimble as an eight year old, then a fishing net sure comes in handy. Instructions: Through each of these steps, be very gentle with the frog. Go to a likely frog habitat and look for frogs. When you locate some, catch yourself a frog. It takes a little patience and the ability to hold still. Wait for a frog to pop up near you and then swoop it up with either your hands or a net. Children are especially good at catching frogs, perhaps because they have less distance to swoop. If you are doing the frog catching yourself, be prepared for laughter and a slight-to-substantial loss of dignity. Hold the frog in one hand, tummy up. Encircle the frog's chest with your thumb and fingers, just under the armpits and hold it firmly but without too much pressure. Pet the frog's tummy with your other fingertip, using a repetitive stroking motion from just under its chin to the bottom of its belly. The frog will relax and go into a trance. You can get a good look at the frog now. Frogs really are beautiful, even more so when you can examine them up close. This last step is important: Don't leave the frog in a trance when you are through. It is too vulnerable in this state and could easily dry out or get caught by a predator. After hypnotizing the frog, place it so that it is sitting somewhere safe and nudge it a bit until it comes out of its trance. Make sure that it hops safely back to the water. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ You can hypnotize a few other kinds of animals too. Did you read Maryse's comment from my last post? Here it is, in case you missed it. I could just imagine it and practically fell out of my chair laughing: Maryse5/28/15, 7:17 AM It was really fun to read about you, Lara! I sure got a kick out of reading you hypnotizing frogs ... I had to look this one up on youtube. My husband used to hypnotize his grandma's chickens, she almost had a stroke when she saw all her chickens laying on the ground. :-)) Later, Maryse explained that her husband did it by drawing a line on the ground with a stick. The chicken watches this and goes into a trance. She thought it might have something to do with their eyes being on the sides of their heads. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ My family did not have a TV for most of my childhood. I can clearly remember the wonder and excitement of going to our neighbor's home to watch Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11) reach the moon in 1969. We were country kids. When we weren't in school or working, we were off like a shot on our banana seat bikes, having adventures in the woods and along the creeksides and ponds. We invented our own fun. Were you an outdoorsy tomboy-ish sort of kid when you were young? Or did you prefer tea sets and dolls and baking? My children categorized their friends in two ways. They called them "innies" and "outies". This at first fooled me into thinking they were talking about belly buttons, but it really referred to where their friends liked to play. There is a lot to be said for getting children away from the television and video games and into the fresh air. One of my son's fondest memories is of the time he and I were stuck waiting for my husband to come out of a long appointment. Sam was only seven and the wait was making him very restless, so we wandered over to a pond and had a sword fight with cattails. By the time my husband came out to the car, we were covered in cattail fluff and quite happy with ourselves. Things have changed so much and children today have less freedom to ramble over the countryside. The kids of yesterday knew a lot more lore about animals and the outdoors than most children do today. As a Mom, I felt sad that my own three had so few of these experiences. So when my kids were young, I bought them this book about nature activities: "Talking to Fireflies, Shrinking the Moon" The author, Edward Duensing was a very adventurous child himself, but he also gathered knowledge of playing outdoors from many sources. Want to whistle up a woodchuck? Make clothes from wearable plants? Be able to tell just how tall that tree is? Find exploding weeds? There are forty different fun activities in this book. If you want to mightily impress the children in your life, then I heartily recommend reading this book and putting some of these adventures into practice. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ It's about time that I announce the winner of the Cotton + Steel Flying Geese Quilt Kit Giveaway. The winner my husband drew from all the slips was.... Beth was commenter number 39 and wrote: Beth5/30/15, 1:44 AM I commented on each blog, and found several new ones to follow--thanks! Also, now I'm browsing some Craftsy patterns I discovered while making the rounds. What a fun way to spend an evening, thanks to you. :) I'm very happy to meet you Beth! Thank you for your lovely comments on all the blogs! Thanks to all of you for visiting and for your enthusiasm in that giveaway! There was a lot of blog hopping going on and it was a lot of fun! Stay tuned for more giveaways here on BuzzinBumble this month. Next up, I will be giving away the makings for a Kaffe Fassett pre-cut log cabin quilt! I'll be looking for people who make charity quilts and holding a random drawing for the winner. I will be joining Cyndy's Orphan Project Adoption Event - a Linky Party at Quilting is More Fun Than Housework. Cyndy came up with the BRILLIANT idea to pass along the projects we don't think we'll ever finish by holding giveaways and linking to her event. The one qualification is that the projects must be passed along for free - no charge (except perhaps for shipping). So be sure to round up your own languishing orphan projects and come and join in the fun this Saturday! Click on the pup to leave a comment... If you are also a blogger, she is highly likely to follow you home!

I’ve been bursting at the seams to share this incredible, life-changing secret with you guys. And now I can finally shout it from the rooftops!! I’M 17 WEEKS PREGNANT! Justin and I were in absolute shock when we found out we were expecting. We’ve been trying for a very long time and were slowly becoming convinced we’d need to make the leap to IVF to be able to start our family. Thankfully, God had other plans for us. To say it’s been an emotional journey would be an understatement. Justin and I have always wanted a big family, and for a while, it felt like the one dream that just kept slipping through our grasp. All of that changed back in September when I traveled out of town for a friend’s bachelorette party with my younger sister, who was four months pregnant with her first at the time. While I was there, I noticed that my heart was palpitating a lot. I didn’t think much of it, but I did also notice that my resting heart-rate was much higher than usual; the magic of smartwatches. Despite this, I chalked it up to traveling and stress. When I got back home, I decided to take a pregnancy test. A few months earlier, I had decided to stop telling Justin whenever I would take a test. At this point, it had become a routine and much like every other month, I was expecting to be faced with disappointment. I took the first test and after a minute... two lines slowly appeared. I convinced myself it was an evaporation line and that it couldn’t possibly be real. So I threw it away. I think my brain was trying to protect me from false excitement. The next morning, I decided to take another test. There they were. Two lines. Just like the day before. I took a third test. And a fourth. Each one produced the same result and yet I still dismissed them. I figured the whole box of tests must be faulty. The idea that I could actually be pregnant after all this time felt too far from reality to ever be true. Then the next morning, I woke up and decided to take a digital test which I’d heard are very hard to get a false positive on. I took the test, laid it on the table in front of my computer, and kept working. I answered customer emails, ordered my normal round of products, edited a handful of pictures, all the while forgetting about the pregnancy test. Half-an-hour later, I caught the test out of the corner of my eye. I lifted it and saw a single word that instantly changed my life: PREGNANT. I don’t know if it was because it actually said the word or what but I’m pretty sure I sat there staring at it for a good five minutes. It was super early in the morning and, as luck would have it, it was the first time in forever that Justin was actually sleeping in. I wanted to run in the room and jump on the bed, but he had just gotten back from LA the night before, and I knew he was exhausted. Twenty minutes felt like 20 hours. I left the test in the bathroom and waited for him to wake up. I’ll never forget hearing his voice from inside the bathroom: “Baaaabe?” A second later, he stepped out. I was standing across the room, and the second our eyes met, I burst out crying. It hadn’t felt real until I saw the look on his face -- the tears in his eyes. We jumped up and down and screamed and cried. It was surreal and wonderful, and a moment I will never forget. Justin and I are big believers that everything happens for a reason. In our hearts, we always knew God had a bigger plan for our family. A plan we trusted would come to fruition when, and only when, God knew we were ready. And while it took a lot longer than we thought it would, I can say with absolute certainty, God’s timing is always perfect. Our journey is just beginning, and I am so excited to share this ride with you guys. There’s already been some insane ups and downs and emotional rollercoasters - all of which I’ll get into later, but for now, it’s a new year. And we have a new addition to celebrate. Stay tuned! Xo

We have a very merry surprise to share with you all this holiday season. We're expecting baby #2! Sharing our pregnancy announcement photos for some inspo.
Not so long, a pregnancy used to be something just between the parents and their closest family members. Did you know, that Queen Elizabeth II's 1959 pregnancy with Prince Andrew was followed with an official apology and just a slight change to her official work schedule? Royal birth announcements used to be dead serious and conservatively cheerful.
