Each Monday morning, we send correspondence to friends and family. It’s a time I look forward to each week…time to connect with special people in my life. Because we send out so many letters, I usually invest in greeting cards and stationery. It’s become a habit each January…re-stocking the writing supplies. By this point in the year, we always have…

I *detest* car problems. In 2003, we were hit by another car that totaled our 15 passenger van. Since then, we’ve pretty much been a one car family. Generally, this doesn’t cause too many issues. Paul works an awful lot, but he and I enjoy store trips together each week. (Consider it a purposeful date, LOL!) I’ll tell you, one…

There has been so much happening on our little homestead the last few days. I finished the dollar store wreath I’ve been working on (I’ll post a tutorial in the next few days)… Of course, the crafting didn’t come without some glue-gun ouchies: OUCH! OUCH! ———- The chickens are growing…we now have 48, plus our two guineas (that I think,…
An update…
…another day…. First, thank you to so many for prayers, and notes of encouragement and support. Yesterday, when I thought things couldn’t possibly get worse, they did. It happens that way sometimes. I struggle in many areas but there are a few that have been tough for me lately. I think things will never be the same in my life…and…
Quick Funny….
We all had a giggle when we received the phone book for our new city…. Please excuse the bad photography! Our old phone book was at least four times this size! I’ve never seen one so small.

It has been a long, long weekend. I feel like an egg that has been cracked and fried to a crisp. It seemed this last weekend, every time Paul and I turned around, something else strange or horrible was happening. I’m thankful for the friends who have sent me little notes to tell me they are sorry for one event,…
Making Memories- Letters to Children
For some time, I’ve been writing letters to my children. These aren’t really on anything specific, just random thoughts, memories, things I want to share with each child. They each have baby books and I journal a lot- but these are more casual, I guess. Almost a conversation that I’m having with them at some future date. At the moment,…
Citrus Mint Tea
We haven’t always been big tea drinkers. Five or so years back, I took my girls to a tea house and I have been hooked ever since! I thought I might share a quick recipe, especially good for someone feeling a bit sickly right now (those germs love fall, don’t they?!). Citrus Mint Tea (From Celebrate the Seasons) 3 regular-size…
Welcome to Fall….
Cooler days, cooler nights, beautiful leaves, a season of memories…I’m thrilled, it’s FALL!!!
