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…

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,…
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…
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…
Growing Up
Babies grow so quickly…I just don’t know where the time goes! Emma now has 3 teeth and just yesterday, started crawling across the floor then stopping to sit up. I almost wanted to cry. In so many ways, I wish that I could keep her little and then again, looking at my older children, I realize that I really like…
Honeysuckle Wreaths
We’re on the move today. After a busy weekend, we’re buckling back down for a full week. On the list of projects this week is to work on making wreaths for my home out of honeysuckle. The picture is of the gathered honeysuckle that we have collected. Today, we are going to boil and strip the vines and form them…
15 Years!
The last 15 years have been the best of my life. I was blessed by God to have found the one person on Earth who really does complete me. Today is my 15th wedding anniversary. These are my thoughts to my sweet: My Dearest Paul, You are the love of my life and it has been a joy and a…
Sock Day!
I‘m still working on managing socks a little better around here but I thought this would give you just a little preview of what “sock day” is like at the Lambert house. This isn’t even half of what we fold and put away in our home when we match the socks. Today is Friday. It feels like this week has…
Earrings, Day 2
Today you will string the beads in the order that you would like them to hang off the ear wire. I usually always put colored or glass beads in between metallic beads. This will make them look more polished. One more note about metallic beads. You can actually buy sterling silver beads and head pins at Hobby Lobby for about…
Toothless Grins…
I‘ve been still working away today. Family businesses are a passion for my family and I. We hope to have enough profit generated from our businesses that it will eventually flow into income for our children should they decide that this is where the Lord would lead them. We are working on a website for families wishing to begin this…
Just Say No!
We’re pretty good around here today. We always have something going on. Today we’ve been sealing seams in our new hall flooring. We chose composite vinyl tile. I thought that it might look too “industrial” for a home but I’m really pleased so far. It’s been very inexpensive, very easy to install and seems to really be withstanding the floor…
