Today my Mom asked me to post….so I am filling in for her. Upon watching my younger siblings, Jessica and Matthew, playing spaceship in our living room last night with some Play Hut tents,I was transported to a time about 6 years ago when another set of children were doing the exact same thing. Joshua and I would stack the…

Water Heater Blues
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…
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…
Being Fruitful?
8:02???? I’m getting such a late start this morning! I hate to admit, when Paul left for work this morning, I went back to bed. I do feel better than I did when I first woke up…I think that I didn’t get enough sleep last night!! I’m posting several pictures this morning! This is an update to my little gardening…
Wild Adventures…
Today, we found this little critter in the yard! I think he likes to hear Courtney humming when it is her turn to hang out the laundry!
Sunflowers, Day 2
I wasn’t sure if yesterday’s picture did these flowers justice, so I decided to post a different angle today! This morning, when I went outside on the porch to see Paul off, we realized that we were beginning to see some yellow on the inside of the flowers!! (I think it’s funny that he is even enjoying watching these big…
What Happened to Courtesy?
The “Monster Flowers” as they are affectionately called by my son, Jacob are still growing! I’ve been trying to figure out why they are so big. I’ve never seen sunflowers this big. Then it occurred to me….I fed them MIRACLE GRO! I followed the instructions on the box, mixing a little into the dirt where each plant was placed (this…
