Tracy / November 14, 2010

Well, as usual, time passes too quickly to blog regularly. The last several weeks have been a blur. We celebrated three birthdays, and two graduations. We still have a special 13 year old’s tea and then, of course, Thanksgiving and two more birthdays. It makes me tired to think on all of it at once. *smile* Courtney and Joshua are…

Our First Party

This past Sunday we hosted our first party in this new house! The rooms were all full of laughter and children ran from place to place. I hope everyone enjoyed their time here as much as we enjoyed them visiting. This gathering was for a sweet friend as she celebrated the pending arrival of her seventh baby. I’m so thankful…

Tracy / October 23, 2009

(At almost 4 months!) Just one reason why blogging hasn’t been at the top of the list lately. Isn’t she growing so big?! She just makes my heart melt. *smiling* God has blessed us- she is precious. : ) With my love,

Horrible Weather

We experienced very bad weather in our area yesterday. Please remember those families who lost loved ones here in Alabama yesterday. I’m not sure that anyone is ever prepared for storms like the ones that rolled through our state. We were fortunate and were not harmed by them…it is always a walk of faith for me…we live in a mobile…

One More Day…

Aren’t you glad that there is yet another day? I am so glad for even this one day…we don’t have anything planned…nothing significant, in fact, we are expecting really bad storms later today. Even so, it’s so nice to be able to take another breath, to kiss my husband in the morning, to hear my babies laughing in the other…

My Frugal Friday tip to today is for diaper rash. When my now 7 year old son was a baby, he kept a diaper rash. We tried everything from A and D ointment, to Desenex, to a mixture my pediatrician had the pharmacist mix up for us. When all of those failed to help both relieve and prevent his rashes,…

Laundering Diapers

It was right after 5 this morning when I snapped this picture. There is something to be said for hanging laundry in the early morning hours. You can see God’s grace and beauty in every direction. Everything smells sweet and the birds chirp so softly….it was pleasant and such a wonderful way to start a day. First, let me apologize…

Cloth Diapering 101

My cloth diapering experience has been great so far. It is so much less work than I ever thought it would be, and it really hasn’t been any less convenient than purchasing disposables. In fact, I’m now left wondering why I ever thought that I needed disposables in the first place. The truth is, there are people in big companies…

Growing Up

Babies grow so quickly…I just don’t know where the time goes! Emma now has 3 teeth and just yesterday, started crawling across the floor then stopping to sit up. I almost wanted to cry. In so many ways, I wish that I could keep her little and then again, looking at my older children, I realize that I really like…

Clothesline, Day 3

Wow! This week has really gotten away from me! We’ve been so busy with Paul’s work and sewing that time has just flown. Today, I’m posting the last of the clothesline pics. This is the clothes line with two loads hanging. I have a Whirlpool Duet Washer. It holds quite a few clothes so these are no small loads. As…
