Well, just when I was mentioning why I typed what I was thankful for everyday….disaster strikes!! It’s already been a rough week. As it happens in our home, we can’t just have one “incident” it really all seems to happen at once. First, the dryer stopped working. Paul placed the order for the replacement part but we were told it…

Earrings, Day 2
Today you will string the beads in the order that you would like them to hang off the ear wire. I usually always put colored or glass beads in between metallic beads. This will make them look more polished. One more note about metallic beads. You can actually buy sterling silver beads and head pins at Hobby Lobby for about…
Earrings, Day 1
Today, I wanted to post the directions for making a simple pair of earrings at home. We’ll take one lesson a day. All of these supplies can be found at Walmart…but Hobby Lobby usually offers great sales on their jewelry making supplies. To make earrings you need the following: # 1 ear wires # 2 pair of needle nose pliers…
Scout Night
It’s scout night at our home. We usually spend our day doing school, preparing dinner, and getting everyone ready to walk out the door for scouts. I’m trying to get into the habit of going to the scout meetings as a family again instead of just sending the boys. We all had such a good time when we used to…
Toothless Grins…
I‘ve been still working away today. Family businesses are a passion for my family and I. We hope to have enough profit generated from our businesses that it will eventually flow into income for our children should they decide that this is where the Lord would lead them. We are working on a website for families wishing to begin this…
Just Say No!
We’re pretty good around here today. We always have something going on. Today we’ve been sealing seams in our new hall flooring. We chose composite vinyl tile. I thought that it might look too “industrial” for a home but I’m really pleased so far. It’s been very inexpensive, very easy to install and seems to really be withstanding the floor…
Just Smile!
Today is Monday. We’ve been trying to finish up some things that we started over the weekend. We’re also cleaning pet cages and doing school work. We had a pretty good weekend. My Mom came to visit and made beef stew for my crew. It was delicious! I truly enjoy weekends that involve getting something done and allowing me and…
The Missing Ingredient
What Are You Teaching?
Thursday! Where do my days go? It feels like Monday rolls into Tuesday and so on until my week is gone! It’s been a good week, I have no complaints. Today is a very special day. Long ago, in a land far away (at least across town) a little boy was born. He would later grow up to be my…
The Well Trained Mind
Spring is in the air….it doesn’t seem like there will be too many more freezing days. I’m so excited, my peach trees are blooming. Maybe we’ll manage some peaches this year. If so, I’ve already got plans to ask my friend, Christy, to share her peach cobbler recipe. She was so sweet to share some that she had made with…
They Are HIS Gift!
Tuesday morning! Well, it’s actually afternoon here. It’s been a nice morning. I’m happy to say that we have a registered domain so it should be a little easier to find us on the web now. I’m thankful today that my Mom’s Dr. appointment went well. She has another today…please pray health for her. I’m also thankful for all that…
Loving Your Children Enough
Today is Monday….Monday’s at my home are always full of adventure. We always spend the day catching up from the weekend and trying to get organized for the upcoming week. I’m trying to re-plan for the week so this actually takes place on Friday or Saturday….but I’m not there yet! This weekend was good. My hubby is home after traveling…
