And it is gone. (I still feel like I should have given it some kind of name…it has been with me for so many years!) It’s been a long couple of days for me. About 15 years ago, I developed a lipoma right across the middle of my back. (It was a little closer to the right side than the…

“The Messiah” -2017
I have not blogged in so long. It seems by the time I sit at my computer, the children are up and active. There just isn’t time to sit and share our latest happenings- we are busy living. Still, I don’t want to forget anything, so today I am up before the children and before the sun. I’m hoping to…
Help for Plantar Fasciitis Pain- What Worked and What Did Not Work
Plantar Fasciitis pain is absolutely miserable. I have tried to cover every single detail I could think of about managing this condition. This does include photos of my shoes and inserts. They aren’t the best looking things so please be kind – I’m posting these because I’m trying to help YOU. 🙂 Some of you may prefer this information…
A season of growth and learning- Courtney’s Wedding
This post is about so many things, mostly Courtney’s wedding. 🙂 I’m just throwing that out there since it is probably going to seem a little scattered. Did you know you can buy these on Ebay?! I did not. I had NO idea. The last time we looked up replacements for our car, they were going to be about $30/fob.…
Breakfast/Lunch/Snack Meal Rotation
This is a quick blog post about Breakfast/Lunch/Snack Rotation for our home. Lately, I have been getting lots of questions about how I meal plan. Some are the regular questions I get about exactly how we feed 13 folks each day (my 3 older children are grown and in homes of their own). The latest questions are just…
Book Review- My Great Big GOD
Today, I am reviewing My Great Big God for Tommy Nelson. I’m currently in a season of cleaning. At some point, I will fill in all the little details of life that have been going on, (well, some really BIG changes for our family). For now, I’m continuing to clean out every little thing and try to catch up on…
Book Review- Night Night, Train
I’ve enjoyed our new books from Tommy Nelson this month. The first was My Great Big God and this one, Night Night, Train. As posted before, I adore adding sweet books to our library for my little folks. We actually have time set apart each day for them to sit and “read” their books quietly. This week, these books…
Sheryl’s Baked Oatmeal
I’m sharing our favorite baked oatmeal recipe. It was given to us by a very good friend. There are those friends who have just been there forever. They may not be part of your life every single day but they are in your heart. Such is life with my friend, Sheryl. More than 20 years ago, she was part of…
Bath Bomb Lady
Shhh…I have a little secret. I’m the Bath Bomb Lady. (In my best “I’m Batman” voice. ) *Smile* So, it’s not so much a secret to the folks who know us in person. We have gone over the top in pinks and sparkles. We are loving…
Happy 8th Birthday, Meredith…
Sweet girl! I can’t believe she is 8 years old already. She is beautiful little girl who just seems to look a little taller every single day she wakes up. She and Darby are the best of friends. She loves to help with the babies in our home. She helps with caring for our home. She loves to…
Happy Birthday, Jonathan!
Jonathan Patrick is already another year older. His 9th year has practically flown by. These 9 year old’s have proven to be quite a challenge for Paul and I. Terrible 2’s? Not in this house. Three year old’s tend to be very “active” and require a lot of attention. They are smart enough to get into pretty much everything while…
A Day at the Ball Park …and Memory Making!
Woah! I had no idea when I woke up this morning, we would have such a day of adventure and memory making ahead! Paul has been working at the ball park in Hoover this week, doing the 2017 SEC Baseball Championship. Benjamin had asked if he could go and see Paul working on the truck so Paul and I scheduled…
