Insting Blogs

Welcome to another lovely edition of Muffin Tin Monday, the blog link up that has kids smiling everywhere and where we share the Muffin Tin Meals we make for our kids (and shhh, sometimes ourselves) each and every Monday. This summer, we are taking a break from the themes, so if you have been holding out and not participating, now is the perfect time!


I did kind of a half theme this week. Stars in honor of Muffin Tin Monday. A few of us have been chatting via the new MTM facebook page about what we are going to do this week. And, everyone was talking about Memorial Day, so it was on the brain when I put together today's tin!

In this star-shaped tin: carrots and ranch dip, potato bread stars, tangerine pieces, red grapes. This was a snack after a long day. Muffin Tin Girl loved it!

I know you are all in the midst of a glorious 3 day weekend and enjoying your families as you remember our fallen military servicemen and women, so I will get righ to it!

Here are this week's links:

These toilet paper roll clown puppets from Katherine Marie are so cute! And look very doable.

Have you seen these Winnie The Pooh Cake Pops from Bakerella? Ack! So sweet!

I am incredibly inspired by the paper butterfly wreath (by Alisa Burke) featured over at The Crafty Crow .

I enjoyed pouring over the kid's play room photos on Flickr yesterday. So many great ideas!



Psalm 86:1-7

 ¹Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me,
   for I am poor and needy. ²Preserve my life, for I am godly;
   save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God. ³ Be gracious to me, O Lord,
   for to you do I cry all the day. ⁴Gladden the soul of your servant,
   for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. ⁵For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
    abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you. ⁶ Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer;
   listen to my plea for grace. ⁷In the day of my trouble I call upon you,
    for you answer me.




my plea for grace....do you plead the Lord for his grace?
