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…

Littlest Gardener
Little Emma loves to be outside. Her big blue eyes seem to wander endlessly taking in every detail of her surroundings. She doesn’t take anything for granted. Now, if only we could keep her from trying to put the mulch in her mouth… 🙂 Yesterday, I finished half of my Mom’s birthday gift. This project is taking me a little…
Totebag Updates
I had the privilege of speaking for a while with my dear friend, Maribel, yesterday. I already owned the book but it was a first glance at her square foot garden that really gave me the “itch” to have a couple of my own. We’re still learning. I’m sure it’s going to be a life long process but I’m looking…
School Supplies….So Far
This is the start to the Lambert school supplies (minus textbooks) for the year. I still need to purchase loose leaf paper, rulers, colored pencils, pencils, pens and some additional small learning activities for the littles in my home. I know it seems like a bunch, but in contrast, if we had the six school aged children in our home…
10 Cent Notebooks
Fridays are always so nice to me. They are the wind-down day to a sometimes very long week. I’m looking forward today to getting to some sewing projects that I’ve waited all week to have time to work! I’ll post pictures as I finish them! Today’s picture is one of the latest pics from our deck of one of our…
Happy 4th of July!
I‘m finally getting a few minutes to catch up on our websites. The last week has been very full….holidays always bring excitement, fun and lots of added things to be done. We had a delightful 4th of July holiday. My husband’s Dad and Aunt came for a visit, as well as my Mom (she spent the night before at my…
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…
Busy Friday
We are so very busy today so I thought instead of my normal post, I would share a bit of one of my collections with you. I’m not at all sure where this fascination with farm life came from, but it’s been with me since my very first married days. Calvin and Bessie were the first to grace my home…..my…
Water Restrictions!
Just when my little plants were showing promise, the city came around and announced mandatory water restrictions. At present, being an odd numbered house, we are only allowed to water our garden for two hours on Tuesday and Thursday. It seems that two of the wells for the city system we are on, failed this year and they are having…
On Birthdays….
Happy Saturday morning! I’m up earlier this morning than usual on a Saturday. We have so many things we still need to finish before Matthew’s birthday tomorrow! I figured that I should get a head start. We learned something pretty great yesterday from the Shepherd’s blog…visit: http://www.visionforum.com/hottopics/multimedia/enn/ It’s Vision Forum’s “Everyday News Network“. They already have some wonderful little news…
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,…
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…
