I will admit…I splurged…I finally have my very own “Vine Wear!!”

Herb Garden
This is my herb garden! I am enjoying it so much. Yesterday, while outside, I noticed that that there were several tiny purple butterflies that seemed to be enjoying it as much as I do. Believe it or not, I’ve never been a big outdoors person, I’m not really sure why I am developing a love for it now, but…
Small Sunflowers
Some of our sunflowers are not the “monsters” that are growing by our deck. This is one view of the smaller ones out by our storage space.
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…
Strawberries, Strawberries
Good afternoon! My name is Courtney, I’m 14, and also the oldest of this bunch. My mom is feeling a bit under the weather today, so, I am filling in for her. Today, we have gotten over 6 loads of laundry done….whoo hoo! The laundry line is such a lifesaver! I personally enjoy going out there to hang the laundry…
Do You Remember?
Who is this little fellow that was hanging out on our porch yesterday? Courtney saw him on her way from gathering clothes on our laundry line and couldn’t resist snapping a quick picture. Maybe we’ll do some bug study today? : ) We have loved our laundry line…I know, that this change in our lives is going to save us…
Looking Your Best
I mentioned yesterday that the MIH group that I belong to has had a “de-cluttering yourself” mission going over the last week. We were asked to take a ‘before’ picture of ourselves. Reluctantly, this is mine. (It’s much easier to lurk in the shadows!) We were also told to investigate our body type and coloring so that we might know…
Puppy is Clean!
Two meetings down and one left for Paul today. I’ve talked to him a few times and things seem to be going well for him. I’m so glad. He works so hard, it’s nice to see things begin to come together. Today, I’m working on p.j.’s for Jessica. They’ve been cut out and sitting in my sewing basket for quite…
T-Shirt Dress
Today, we are planning on (hopefully!) finishing Jessica’s dresses. I’ve let Courtney do most of the sewing for all three of them. She is doing a great job and T-shirt dresses give her a good start on basic sewing skills with the reward of seeing something that she has done well enough her sister can actually wear it…something that it…
The Well Trained Mind
Spring is in the air….it doesn’t seem like there will be too many more freezing days. I’m so excited, my peach trees are blooming. Maybe we’ll manage some peaches this year. If so, I’ve already got plans to ask my friend, Christy, to share her peach cobbler recipe. She was so sweet to share some that she had made with…
Loving Your Children Enough
Today is Monday….Monday’s at my home are always full of adventure. We always spend the day catching up from the weekend and trying to get organized for the upcoming week. I’m trying to re-plan for the week so this actually takes place on Friday or Saturday….but I’m not there yet! This weekend was good. My hubby is home after traveling…
The Hand That Rocks The Cradle
Today has been a pretty good day. The weather is in the mid 60’s, perfect for playing outside! My older children and I lingered for a while out on the deck waiting on a friend to arrive and pick them up for an afternoon play date…it’s beautiful. My prayer requests today are for our cub scout group. We’re trying to…
