This is Miss Jessica after her rag roll experiment. She was so much fun to watch bouncing around the house! You could tell that she thought her hair was pretty…it so sweet to listen to her giggling!! We had a great Father’s Day. We basically did nothing. If you have been reading long, you realize how odd this is for…

Jessica’s “Before”
Good Saturday morning! I hope that this finds all of you well on your way to a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. I promised yesterday, an update to the rag roller experiment…this is Jessica’s “before” picture. I just used 1 1/2 x 4 inch strips of left over fabric to roll her hair. I was not very careful sectioning if off…
Baby Girls
I‘m going to be honest…I had a really difficult day yesterday. Two things happened, I first got out of bed and started my day without beginning with prayer and second, I think I was on the computer too long. It seems that my little boys are always a good measurement of how long is too long to be on the…
Burt’s Bees
We’re getting a late start today…we’ve been up too late lately and I think everyone just needed a little extra sleep this morning…(not the case with me, I’ve just been holding the little one)! We’re looking at a very full day. My friend, Kimberly, has offered to take some photographs of Emma for me this evening…I’m going to work today…
Cloth Napkins
This has been the cloth napkin project that I thought would never end. We have worked and worked. I don’t have yet a final number, but five large tablecloths make a whole lot of cloth napkins. Courtney is becoming quite proficient at sewing, and seen here, was finishing up the last few. I’m sure that we are going to get…
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…
Covering Our Humanity
Warning! This is going to be a long post today…. I’m trying so hard to eat and take better care of myself. This morning finds me at the computer feeling sorry for myself after completing Pilates. Yes, I know that I will better person for this in the end but my tummy is burning! Seriously, after 8 sweet littles (1…
Puddle Jumpers
Does it ever seem that morning comes too early?? I did myself a favor last night (at my husband’s request) and unplugged the alarm clock I had mentioned a couple of posts back. We are finding it easier to set the alarm on our cell phones until we can make the trip to Walmart and purchase a plain alarm clock.…
Mother’s Day
Whew! What a week we’ve had! It seems like the last several days have been a whirlwind of activity, I can’t wait to see what this week brings. Mother’s Day was wonderful in my home. My children know that I watch the news every morning while breakfast is being made and went to great length to record the most perfect…
