This morning a man called and said he was with FedEx and couldn’t find our house. We weren’t expecting any packages, so I skeptically asked enough questions for him to validate that he indeed had one for us. Moments after I gave directions there was a knock at the door. Brent brought the package in [...]

I used my crock pot for the second time this week! Woot! I had a recipe I saw online but my internet was down and I couldn’t get to it… so I did what I would have done even if I did have the recipe. I did what I wanted.
2 pounds chicken thigh [...]
Brent made tortillas for lunch today since I wasn’t feeling well enough to make bread.
Arwen held up two of her tortilla triangles that were stuck together and remarked that they were “mommy and daddy.”
“Mommy, you are the small thin one, and daddy, you are the big fat one.”
I beamed with gratefulness.
“Being big and fat is [...]
So, my weekly menu rotations took a hiatus when Evie Rose was born. Now that she’s four months old, I figure I ought to start planning meals again. I’m starting over, just to keep the lineup fresh, and then I’ll rotate the four weeks according to the season. This system works really well [...]
When your 2 year old can put himself up on the changing table, it’s probably time to potty train.
HOW IN THE WORLD do you communicate “do unto others” to your children?!? My kids are NOT getting it and I feel like all I say all day long is, “Now, would you want someone to XYZ [...]
So, I’ve got a crock pot and it rarely gets used. Naturally, you can find me scurrying about at the last minute to throw dinner together. I do plan my menus ahead of time, so that’s not my deal.
And I’m not a procrastinator, per se. But 24 hours in a day is not enough…let’s just [...]
I witnessed Ezra (2 years old) discovering the curiosity of the light in the fridge. Does it stay off when the door is closed? He’s on a mission, folks.
Arwen told me that she put lots of extra lovin’ on my spot of the bed. Should I expect a mess? She wants me to “feel it [...]
That’s when life happens, right?
Last weekend, Brent had scheduled himself off for four consecutive days in a row! Saturday through Tuesday he was going to be home! My brain fluttered and scurried about composing to-do lists for both of us. There were stacks of projects in every corner that needed attention, school work to be [...]
Ya’ll.
Do you ever wonder what happens to your kids while they are in the skillful hands of your husband and you are totally out of earshot?
Brent blogged his experience teaching the kids money matters today and you do not want to miss it. I laughed, I cried, I beamed with pride. So go on, check [...]
