Etsy Exclusive: Vinyl Flower Garden

I sometimes get the winter blues… you know… it’s cold all the time, the sun never shines, the bright colors of the other three seasons are long since faded into muted grays, browns, and whites.  Not bad colors, but a little bland and dull, right?  Well, keep your flowers blooming all year long with this flower garden!  The best part… Who cares if you forget to water it?!

Designed with love and yearning for a bright sunny day, this garden would make a great addition to any home or a great gift to any green thumb.  Get yours HERE!

If you are interested in having your own Etsy Exclusive Feature, please email me at: whilehewasnapping[at]gmail[dot]com.

Comfort Quilts

Sheena at The Best of Momma Chef contacted me and told me of a great giveaway she’s having.  She’s giving away a fantastic nativity set.  The best part is that they are making these sets for Comfort Quilts charity.  It’s a fantastic organization that makes quilts for families of fallen police officers, firefighters and other public safety personnel.  The quilts are made from their actual uniforms.  What a great reminder and tangible piece of comfort.  I think this is such a great idea.  The possibility of tragedy is so much closer for these families.  I love that there are people and organizations out there that support and will be there for these brave men and women and their loved ones.

 These sets are $15/each and all proceeds go to Comfort Quilts.  They are also available in black.

I interrupt your regularly scheduled programming

I interupt your regularly scheduled programming with this public service announcement. So, I wasn’t aware I wouldn’t have intenet access while out of town… All I have is my cell phone. Not the best blogging friendly device. I will be back home Tuesday afternoon and things will return to normal. Tasty Tuesday will go up later that afternoon, instead of early that morning. The halloween contest voting will open Tuesday evening instead of tomorrow… well, in ten minutes. Voting will last until Saturday @ 11 pm PST. I will post a winner by midnight.


I apologize for dropping the ball. But I promise to make up for it with a super exciting announcement. Cross my heart, you’ll like it! Be sure to come back Wednesday morning! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Stay safe!


Happy Halloween!

NEVER MIND… I HAVE A PRETTY AWESOME MR RIGHT THAT FIXED ME UP!  COSTUME CONTEST VOTING IS NOW ACTIVE.  GET YOUR VOTE IN!  AND MAKE SURE TO COME BACK WEDNESDAY MORNING!  IT’LL BE WORTH IT, PROMISE!

October Spooktacular: Gratitude

November is all about gratitude.  And it’s a good thing.  It’s important to be grateful.  This year, we don’t have much, but what we do have I appreciate.  In November, all of my Wordless Wednesday posts will be of something I am grateful for.  I thought I’d kick it off a week early though.  Besides, I was all out of fall pictures since we won’t be going to the pumpkin patch until this weekend…

Should his costume be a bag of groceries?  =]

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.


It all happened
