It’s “Works For Me Wednesday” hosted by Rocks In My Dryer. Today, my tip is to unclog a hairspray nozzle with alcohol! Sometimes water just doesn’t cut through. It’s a quick tip, I know, but it works for me!! I’m happy to report this morning that as of yesterday, I am cavity free! I absolutely hate dentistry so this was…

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,…
Neat Week!
Good Morning! Wow! We are a little in shock that yet another Thursday is here! It’s scout night so we’re busy making the necessary preparations for tonight’s meetings! I have to admit I woke up feeling a bit sluggish this morning! Although, I loved the sweet and salty granola bar, and it is lower in calories than a candy bar,…
An Empty Canvas
Fall is in the air…and thanks to a productive weekend…we’re showing signs around our home! Our outside “welcome”. Welcome to our home! I can’t keep people from making other words from my Autumn blocks. How many words can you make from Autumn? The weather has been beautiful….Courtney took these pictures from our yard this morning. Crepe Myrtle Purple flowers at…
Frugal Friday
What a morning this is turning out to be! The plans that I made yesterday, for today, seem to have taken a back seat to last minute things that keep popping up. This combined with a home full of tired people, thanks to the teething infant who was up most of the night, is making for a rough day. This…
Remembering Fall
Good Morning! I hope that you are having a wonderful day and off to a good start! This morning, I was hanging laundry (this is Joshua’s solar system mini quilt drying) and I’m not sure if it’s the “fall” air beginning to blow in, but I had an instant memory of being outside of my high school, at the age…
Only 84 Degrees?
Hurray! I just heard on the news that the high today is only 84 degrees! Yahoo! Fall is coming. I knew that there had to be an end to all this hot weather some where! It’s been a busy and really fun Labor Day weekend. We stayed home but enjoyed some much needed “down time” as a family. Paul especially,…
September 1st, 2006
It’s Friday! I’ve been busy working my grand plan, so yesterday, I moved some planters onto the porch and moved off toys and debris that had been there for way too long! I’m already so thrilled with the progress that we’re making (though we still have a way to go!). This morning we were so blessed to pick 2 eggplants!…
Family Schedule
Good Monday Morning! I hope that this finds you having had a restful and peaceful weekend. We had a very enjoyable weekend. My Mom came for a visit, which we always enjoy. We cooked roast, creamed potatoes, lima beans, carrot slaw, homemade rolls, and brownies for desert. We did have some excitement in that the oven stopped working properly about…
Blessings…
Today, I’m posting for Mom, because she isn’t feeling very well.It is going to be a short posting, because we have a lot to do. The picture is the picture of the booklet they gave her to explain about her wisdom teeth. This being said, I’m going to write a little on how to be a blessing to others in…
Split Watermelon?
Good Morning! I’m so glad to be starting this day feeling almost normal again! There for a while, I was beginning to wonder if I would ever feel like myself! Miss Emma, also, is feeling a little better this morning. It’s so hard to see someone so sweet feeling so bad. She has just wanted to sit in my lap.…
Reducing Expenses
The beginning of this year, I really began to pray and ask the Lord to show me areas of my home where I needed to spend time making sure that we were making the most of what we had. My grocery budget was the first thing He placed on my heart. Over time, I began to eliminate things I had…
