Since we were together for 4 days, I suppose it’s only natural that my sister and I would break out our scissors and glue and get our craft on. Saturday night after eating and shopping and sleeping and shopping and cleaning and drinking lots of coffee…we spent a few hours ripping and tearing and gluing [...]

We went to my sister’s house for Thanksgiving–and just made ourselves at home for the entire holiday weekend. There was lots of playing… And boys being boys… And girls being girls… Lots of girls being girls… And football…NFL and college…and we won both! By a lot. We ate, we shopped, we played, and we didn’t [...]

You’ll have to excuse any typos today, the tears on my keyboard are making my fingers slip. The crew is out of school today, so they’re spending the morning back with our home daycare provider (HDCP) Ms. Benita. (Or Miss ‘Nita, as she’s been known through the years.) When school started in August, we made [...]

Thanks for stopping by! ********************************************************************************* Well, I’ve officially run out of hours in the day. Seriously. I’m admitting defeat–in my own, always unique, reword-the-question, way. This past summer I got together with my sister and my aunt and my faithful sewing machine Bessie, and launched our little handmade accessories [...]

I have a lot of things on my mind this morning. Christmas shopping…packing for Thanksgiving travel…prepping an entire farm for us to be gone for 4 days…whether or not my daughter will ever enjoy her phonics seatwork… But there’s something completely unrelated that’s been on my mind too, since we watched the country music awards [...]

Isn’t it amazing how kids can be amused by the simplest things? We were out walking Penny the other day and they found a sink hole out in the field. A big one. It’s like their new playground. We get sink holes fairly often. I think it’s a combination of the soil type and the [...]

Sometimes life just gets away from you. Sometimes you forget about meal planning and eat pizza and peanut butter sandwiches way too many times in a week. Sometimes your kids come home with grass stains on their knees and you suddenly notice that they were wearing their church clothes instead of their school clothes. Sometimes [...]

Can I tell you something? Can I admit something as a 32 year old wife and mother of 3? As a woman who’s been married for 10 years? I can’t cook. Well, actually, I can a little bit now. But it’s a pretty recent development. If you ask Mr. Fix-It what in the world we [...]

We call him Felix. Or “Fee-Wicks” which ever you prefer. He also answered to “Here, Kitty, Kitty” now. We think he might have wandered up from the bridge, but he’s clearly bonded to our two barn cats, Liberty and Piper. The Ladybug’s been on a mission to win him over. So far he naps on [...]
