There are times when God really does come through… you know what I mean? Today was one of those days. Yesterday I was asked to do something. I knew in my heart that I was fully capable, however is that enough? I sought the counsel of some very treasured woman that have been placed in my life for such a…
One of the things that I miss about not living near my family is the Sunday dinners at grandma and grandpa’s house. Granted as a kid I never always appreciated it. As a mom the thought of my kids getting to play with their cousins and getting to sit around and chat with my sisters does sound pretty nice from…
One of the boys most favorite dinner is pizza. To make the meal even better we often make pizzas at home. We buy our pizza dough from a local pizza place and then let the boys roll out their dough, pick out their toppings, put their toppings on and then bake them. One of my favorite things about pizza night…
You know those times where there are so many thoughts floating around in your head that they threaten to burst forth? I have that a lot! Lately there has been a common theme of internal conversations as well as conversation that I have been having with other woman that have been consuming my heart and mind. What would happen if…
Today middle brother had surgery to have his ear tubes removed. He was the lucky less than 1% that has to have his tubes surgically removed. Last summer we were having troubles with his ears bleeding and the doctor said he would like to try to make it past flu season before we removed them. A few weeks ago they…

Among those pieces of clothing I found four things for myself, a pair of Lucky jeans ($.99), a Calvin Klein blazer ($3.00),…
I found a recipe a few months ago for a very simple pumpkin bread/muffin recipe and I have used it multiple times. With all our pumpkins that we grew in our garden I made a bunch of puree pouches, I simply made puree and then put them into quart zip locks and froze them flat. This morning I made some…
I have been toying around with the idea of trying oatmeal in the crock pot and since hubby bought me a new crock pot in October I am ready to try a recipe. Last night the snow began falling and I was not sure if we were going to have a snow day or not (we did not for the…
Today I found a new recipe for play dough and it claims to be the softest play dough ever. Since the weather is changing I figured a fun new dough might be something to keep little brothers hands busy. The recipe calls for: 1 1/2 cup water 1 tsp of gel food coloring or 6 drops of liquid food coloring…
