This is our week in review. There have been SO many things. Life is like that, right? We think it is just us, but it isn’t. Life happens to everyone. Let’s see. This week has been sort of crazy in our home. Darby’s Tick Just after I took Darby to the doctor for that wood in her foot (which is…
“Oh, Darby. Your poor little foot.” Darby is 6 years old. She reminds me so much of a little pixie. She is normally fluttering around happily from room to room. Friday was a beautiful day. It’s been bitterly cold even in the deep south. Friday was *perfect*. We had lunch outside, did most of our schooling outside. Even the chickens…
Have I mentioned Bath Bomb Lady lately? 😀 Did you happen to know today was Small Business Saturday?! I had no idea. This is why Courtney and I are making such great business partners! It does make for a great time to share more about our business. (THIS was one of my first posts about our little business venture and…
The Three Month Master Plan is a system I’ve created to help you (and ME), set and MEET our goals! If you are content where you are (and you may be, which is fine, if you are happy), then this post is NOT for you. Just turn away. Walk away right now. This post is NOT for you. If you…
Plantar Fasciitis pain is absolutely miserable. I have tried to cover every single detail I could think of about managing this condition. This does include photos of my shoes and inserts. They aren’t the best looking things so please be kind – I’m posting these because I’m trying to help YOU. 🙂 Some of you may prefer this information…
This is a quick blog post about Breakfast/Lunch/Snack Rotation for our home. Lately, I have been getting lots of questions about how I meal plan. Some are the regular questions I get about exactly how we feed 13 folks each day (my 3 older children are grown and in homes of their own). The latest questions are just…
Today, I am reviewing My Great Big God for Tommy Nelson. I’m currently in a season of cleaning. At some point, I will fill in all the little details of life that have been going on, (well, some really BIG changes for our family). For now, I’m continuing to clean out every little thing and try to catch up on…
I’m sharing our favorite baked oatmeal recipe. It was given to us by a very good friend. There are those friends who have just been there forever. They may not be part of your life every single day but they are in your heart. Such is life with my friend, Sheryl. More than 20 years ago, she was part of…
Woah! I had no idea when I woke up this morning, we would have such a day of adventure and memory making ahead! Paul has been working at the ball park in Hoover this week, doing the 2017 SEC Baseball Championship. Benjamin had asked if he could go and see Paul working on the truck so Paul and I scheduled…
Exodus 20 is our latest scripture memory passages. A number of months back, our pastor was teaching through this section. Each week, someone would volunteer to recite this section of scripture. My older children knew The 10 Commandments. Some of my middle kiddos had to work a bit on it and my littles were learning just from listening to the…
We have a winner for Good Good Father! Congratulations, Marcy! 😀 I hope you will enjoy your copy of Good Good Father. In my original post, I mentioned I had not heard this song. I have noticed since reading this book I’m hearing the song more when I’m out and listening to the radio. Great book and wonderful song! Thank…
After a long silence, I’m trying to fit in time to update my blog. Seasons are passing so quickly for me these days. (Don’t they always?) The new baby (my precious Toby), is now three months old. Courtney is in a courtship. He has been with us each day, the entire last month. I like him a whole lot. He…
