**I was provided free product from Glue Dots to review.  All of my opinions about this product are my own and they are completely TRUE.  I sincerely love Glue Dots and hope you go buy some today.**

Crickets.

Can you hear them?

They have been taking over my blog since I am clearly not doing much around here. 🙂

I miss you, dear bloggy friends!

I can’t even tell you how many times a day I have to surrender my desire to write in order to make sure I am doing all the other things the Lord wants me to do first.

Tonight, however, I had to get this post up because the good people over at GLUE DOTS are counting on me!

glue-dots-4.jpgHave y’all ever used a Glue Dot before?

{{Insert me looking at you with shocked face of disbelief if you responded, “No.”}}

Your life is about to change.

Glue Dots is seriously the new way to glue.

We live in the 21st century.  We don’t like to wait for things.  Waiting for white glue to dry can sometimes feel like waiting for Christmas to happen.

Enter the Glue Dot – a small double-sided adhesive dot that is easy to use, mess free, and has absolutely no dry-time.

Let me show you how Glue Dots helped me out at our recent MOMs meeting at my church.

With St. Patrick’s Day coming up next week, I wanted to have the moms participate in a fun game to get our meeting off to an exciting start.

glue-dots-6.jpgSo I picked up a piece of blue poster board from the Dollar Tree, some colorful balloons, and printed off my FREE Printable St. Patrick’s Day Conversation and Joke Cards.

glue-dots-9.jpgWe rolled up the FREE Printable Conversation and Joke Cards and put one inside each balloon.

Then we blew those balloons up (Note – I am trying to look cute while blowing up a balloon but this is an impossible task.  You will always look like a chipmunk while blowing up balloons).

glue-dots-2.jpgI grabbed a package of Glue Dot Adhesives made especially for Posters.

glue-dots-12.jpgI placed 5 dots on the poster board in the shape of a rainbow.

glue-dots-11.jpgglue-dots-14.jpgglue-dots-15.jpgThen I stuck a balloon on top of each dot.

glue-dots-18.jpgI was so happy that all my balloons stayed in place on the poster board!glue-dots-19.jpg

We put several more Glue Dots on the back of the poster board and hung it on the wall (which was very impressive as our wall was made out of bricks).

When the meeting began I explained that the game would need 5 volunteers to come up, pick a balloon, pop it with a pin, and then read the conversation card or joke card from inside the balloon out loud to the group.

It was so funny!

glue dots presentation1.jpgglue dots presentation4.jpgSome of the volunteers told us hilarious jokes.

glue dots presentation2.jpgWhile others had to answer super thought-provoking questions like, “What are the colors in the rainbow?” or “If you found a pot of gold, what would you do with it?”

glue dots presentation3.jpgOur last guest had the privilege of doing her best performance of an Irish Jig.

She nailed it.

I had great prizes for everyone courtesy of the Dollar Tree, like glittery shamrock table scatter, leprechaun window clings, and a Happy St. Patrick’s Day banner.

But for me, the best prize was getting to see my Glue Dots in action!

I hope the next time you are at the store (you can find Glue Dots at these stores) you will pick up a package of Glue Dots.  Because whether you play this fun game at home with your own family for St. Patrick’s Day this year, or you need a quicker solution than white glue for your next craft project, or your teenager suddenly tells you he has to put a science poster together for tomorrow’s fair, I think you will find yourself STUCK on this fabulous product!

🙂

Happy Glue Dot-ing! 🙂

    A coworker of mine found a great use for glue dots. We all have Origami Owl lockets. We use the glue dots to hold our charms in place inside the locket. I know most people like for the charms to move freely inside the locket, but I prefer that mine stay in place so that I can display them neatly.

  • We got fancy last night for our neighbor’s wedding. ‍♂️The wedding was about an hour drive away, so we had lots of time for car conversations without kids. This usually means that I vomit all the stuff I have been trying to process on my own and Ryan swoops in with a few ultra wise one-liners that talk me off the ledge. Things I learned on the drive... 1. Stop watching the news. Our souls were not made for so much information. 2. Never stop dreaming. Even if your circumstances are hard and you feel all your creativity and hopes

  • When I had covid, this precious mama of mine called me every day. She dropped groceries on our doorstep (and even decorated them with Christmas lights ). She had food delivered to our house. She wore silly Christmas glasses and FaceTimed me to make me smile. She watched every single one of My ABC Truth Tree videos and liked them. She texted me every day to make sure I was taking medicine and drinking enough water. She prayed for me and reminded me that it would all be okay when I called her in tears on Christmas Eve worried that

  • It’s hard to believe that 17 years ago I slept through my alarm, set my veil on fire, had 9 precious flower girls walk down the aisle before me, and we made a covenant before God that we would love and serve each other forever. We don’t do it perfectly, but, by God’s grace, we keep showing up. And he never fails to make me laugh. Happy Anniversary to the best man I know! . Photo Credit >> @heatherholtphoto ✨

  • You know it’s family picture day when I put on lipstick, no one wants to wear the outfits I carefully picked out, and there’s a 100% chance of rain! So thankful for @heatherholtphoto and her expert abilities to capture what feels like a mess and make it into something beautiful. That’s some Gospel inspiration right there. Here’s to a 2020 Christmas card!

We must be diligent to wrestle our fears out WITH the Lord (and not in our own minds or on social media or in a pint of ice cream ). Plop yourself into His presence and tell him everything that is bothering you. Be real. Be raw. Cry. Be mad. Be disappointed. But then >> don’t stay there. Refuse to let go of the Lord until you are rehearsing Truth back to Him. Remember how He has been faithful in the past. Say to Him that you don’t understand
