Motherly Love Giveaway!

Have I told you lately that I love you?

Yeah, YOU! Elisha's Village. You rock my world.

I wanted to do a little something to say thanks.

Recently I came across something too adorable to even try to resist.

Are you familiar with these?



They are Russian Matryoshka dolls. The word "Matryoshka" derives from Latin word for mother.  From what I've heard, they are tourist kitchy junk in Russia, and no one there would ever want one (you know, just like I don't own a snow globe with the Sears  Willis Tower inside,) but for anyone traveling to eastern europe, I think it's practically expected that you bring one of these back home.
(And if you aren't planning a trip of any sort to EE, that's okay, you can just buy them online instead.)

Anyway, these are cute, and my kids love them. But recently I came across something SO cool I just couldn't resist making the purchase:

Not my photo. Thanks, Google.
Russian Nesting Dolls.... as MEASURING CUPS!





Can I get a "whoop, whoop!"
Come on, seriously, these are just the cutest EVER, aren't they?

1. Leave a comment telling me how you found my blog (be specific or general, your choice.)

Hello there. Are you adopting from Russia?? I just found a child that I am interested in that is in Russia.... If you are... Will you email me with details of the process? (GrumpyJax@yahoo.com) I found your blog when a fellow adoptive mom shared it. I think you are utterly amazing for adopting :)

Sarah said...

Hi! We can't say the name of the country we are adopting from. (I figured the Russian nesting dolls are a big touristy eastern europe thing, regardless of which country we are visiting.) Just not allowed to share the name of the country publicly until court is over (to keep things confidential.)
