Getting up at 5 in the morning is not nearly as exciting as I wish it were, but it does allow me to capture the sunrise and most importantly, to get a fresh start on my day before my family is up and roaming around. I wanted to share with you a little this morning of what has been on…

Various Ramblings

Tracy / August 30, 2006

Wednesday, already? These weeks do fly by too quickly! We are now on day 3 of our new schedule. So far, this morning, the children are buzzing around from place to place. We’ve had no real problems (This is a first! Normally, we have to re-do our schedule several times before we find something that works!) I don’t think anyone…

Popcorn, Anyone?

Tracy / August 28, 2006

Last week was very long folks! About midweek our van died, again! Paul thinks that this van must have been submerged under water at some point because we have basically had to have almost everything under the car replaced due to rust! This week, we had the fan belt, fan belt pulley, water pump and radiator changed…to the tune of…

T-shirt Dressmaking…

Tracy / August 22, 2006

Sorry for the delay in posting this morning…our internet has been on and off following the storms that rolled through our area last night. We really needed the rain, I’m so thankful for it. Some of our little plants look like they took a beating last evening. I’m hoping they’ll perk up as the day goes on. Today, I’m going…

Blessings…

Tracy / August 16, 2006

Today, I’m posting for Mom, because she isn’t feeling very well.It is going to be a short posting, because we have a lot to do. The picture is the picture of the booklet they gave her to explain about her wisdom teeth. This being said, I’m going to write a little on how to be a blessing to others in…

Well, I’m always up to try new things….I consider myself to be rather adventurous. I think it’s safe to say that yesterday’s adventure into colored text and I-Frames for the site did not work. It’s as simple as that. I promise that at midnight, the night before, it really looked great. I guess that goes to show what a good…

We’re Sick

Tracy / August 11, 2006

It’s official. I have caught the “bug” that has been making the rounds in my home. Now, in addition to the pain that I’m still experiencing from surgery, I now also have what seems to be a pretty bad cold. The good news is that I went to the oral surgeon yesterday…he says no infection and that the pain I’m…

Life’s Lessons

This day has not started out to be the best. I’m hoping that it will get better. One thing that I notice is that when financially you are as tight as we are, it doesn’t take much to push you “over the edge”. I should have checked, I know I should have checked, but I took for granted that Paul’s…

Reducing Expenses

The beginning of this year, I really began to pray and ask the Lord to show me areas of my home where I needed to spend time making sure that we were making the most of what we had. My grocery budget was the first thing He placed on my heart. Over time, I began to eliminate things I had…

Recovering

This will be a short post today…I’m still recovering from my oral surgery. Overall, this has not been a bad experience, but I’ve got to tell you…Motrin is my friend! I still have stitches on my lower jaw and it is still very swollen and sore. I was fortunate to be able to take less pain medication after the procedure…

August, Already?

August already? Does anyone else ever seem to be taken off guard by the passing of time? Where do the days go? I wake up, and before I can blink the day is over. It’s incredible, and humbling, to know that I only have so many days and they pass so quickly. I was so thankful we finished yesterday’s projects…

1st EBAY Posting

I‘ve taken the plunge. My first “for sale” item is now listed on EBAY…item number 180009060191 is the first dress that I’ve made to sell. I have had experience selling some smaller items so I’m interested to see how this one turns out. The dress took me a little longer than I was expecting but I think it turned out…
