This will be a short post today…I’m still recovering from my oral surgery. Overall, this has not been a bad experience, but I’ve got to tell you…Motrin is my friend! I still have stitches on my lower jaw and it is still very swollen and sore. I was fortunate to be able to take less pain medication after the procedure…

Water Heater Blues
Good Monday Morning!! We’ve gotten an early start to our day. I’ve noticed over the last several months that as the day reaches about noon, we begin to become less and less productive. Armed with this knowledge, I’m finding that getting an early start to our day allows us to get more done and in less time than we would…
Hampers Stacked
These are the new hampers emptied and stacked up so that they can be stored away.
New Hampers
Having such a large family in such a small space does have it’s challenges. Laundry is always amongst the top. I found these at Walmart last night and thought that I would share them. I’m hoping that it will give me a way to sort my laundry without taking up a lot of space. The best part is, when we…
Dressing His Temple
This is my 10 year old son, Jacob. I’m finding that he is *Very* handy to have around the house…he’s my exclusive clothespin technician at the moment. In my recent “line drying” adventures, I’m learning that there are rules to hanging laundry, systems to hang it efficiently and that, as in all things, “cheaper is not necessarily better”. For clothespins,…
The Dynamic Duo Strikes Again
We were busy until late in the night working on preparing squash and more strawberries for the freezer! We ended up with 8 gallon size bags of squash and 3 gallon size bags of strawberries…we’re so excited! This is the time to stock those freezers with fresh veggies and we’re well on our way. If you’ve never tried stocking frozen…
Blooming Roses!
The Roses are in bloom at my home. This is the biggest reason that I love the Spring (I actually prefer fall and winter to the warmer months!). Joshua brought this one in to me as a surprise yesterday…it smells wonderful!! I came across a funny for today that I received off of one of the sites that I belong…
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…
Covering Our Humanity
Warning! This is going to be a long post today…. I’m trying so hard to eat and take better care of myself. This morning finds me at the computer feeling sorry for myself after completing Pilates. Yes, I know that I will better person for this in the end but my tummy is burning! Seriously, after 8 sweet littles (1…
Honeysuckle Wreaths
We’re on the move today. After a busy weekend, we’re buckling back down for a full week. On the list of projects this week is to work on making wreaths for my home out of honeysuckle. The picture is of the gathered honeysuckle that we have collected. Today, we are going to boil and strip the vines and form them…
Sock Day!
I‘m still working on managing socks a little better around here but I thought this would give you just a little preview of what “sock day” is like at the Lambert house. This isn’t even half of what we fold and put away in our home when we match the socks. Today is Friday. It feels like this week has…
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…
