Courtney has been helping me get all organized for the coming days. (The impending new year always makes me want to clean!!). This week, inspired by this post, we set up a de-cluttering schedule. 40 Bags in 40 Days is a quick and simple way to rid your home of unnecessary clutter!! Want to join us? 😉 My sweet girl…

Growth Chart
I’m really sorry these pictures are so bad! This room isn’t the brightest and honestly, I’m still learning about this little gem of a camera my children purchased for me last Christmas. I wanted to share one of my newest projects with you: It’s inspired by this recreation of this Pottery Barn growth chart: (I needed to replace mine after…
Ironing Board Holder
Jacob’s newest project! I love to watch my children developing new skills. It’s amazing what they can do when given the opportunity!
Mattress Pad
This house was packed with all sorts of household items when we moved in last January. While most of it we donated to local thrift stores, I did hold on to a few things that I thought we could use. This mattress pad, was in great shape, but really didn’t fit any beds we owned. Still, I thought, eventually I’ll…
Mouse Doors…
Our latest obsession: These are the two Courtney and I are currently creating. I really have no idea what has sparked this interest…maybe the first mouse door? I don’t know. Whatever it is, this is just down-right fun!
It’s Grocery Day…
There’s really not much time for anything else…but, I did want to say a BIG thank you to Melissa! This is our exciting buy: We actually ended up with 14 FREE packages of Huggies diaper wipes!! Woohoo!!! Thank you, for sharing the coupons. With this many littles, diapers, wipes and coupons for either, are always welcome!!
Cleaning Carpets Safely
Just thought I would share this little tidbit with you, my dear guests, this evening! This is our hall carpet: I know, scary, right?! I have sprayed virtually every cleaner sold in local stores on this carpet to get it cleaned. I can usually bring up some of the spots, but only after hours of scrubbing. Granted, it’s not that…

First, let me ask– as I try to update things now that we have internet, I would love to visit some of you on your blogs too. Would you mind leaving me a comment with your blog address? I would love to drop in and say “hello” from time to time.
Baby Schedules and Organization….
One of the biggest reasons I have always loved blogging are the helpful tips I’m always finding on the internet. Women share some of the best ideas and tutorials….I think they help me be a better mom and wife in my own home. I’m always finding an idea, or the how-to’s for a project I know would be a good…
Contentment?
Getting up at 5 in the morning is not nearly as exciting as I wish it were, but it does allow me to capture the sunrise and most importantly, to get a fresh start on my day before my family is up and roaming around. I wanted to share with you a little this morning of what has been on…
Various Ramblings
Wednesday, already? These weeks do fly by too quickly! We are now on day 3 of our new schedule. So far, this morning, the children are buzzing around from place to place. We’ve had no real problems (This is a first! Normally, we have to re-do our schedule several times before we find something that works!) I don’t think anyone…
Popcorn, Anyone?
Last week was very long folks! About midweek our van died, again! Paul thinks that this van must have been submerged under water at some point because we have basically had to have almost everything under the car replaced due to rust! This week, we had the fan belt, fan belt pulley, water pump and radiator changed…to the tune of…
