Spacebags (June 26, 2008)
The boys had a blast making spacebags today! J did a beautiful job scrubbing out the car topper, a blessing that we received after comparison shopping. We pulled out of our driveway and two houses down the neighbors had one marked “FREE” just sitting there! God is so good and so faithful to answer our…

Prepping to go… (June 25, 2008)
Some believe that post-vacation is the hardest time because you realize how tired you are and you need another vacation. I disagree. If executed properly, the preparation stage is the most stressful part of the vacation. Planning and packing is a major task. It should be completed 36 to 48 hours before the departure. That…

Yeast Toast (November 20, 2007)
We’re having a yeast-roll-making fest here this week. That’s our core responsibility for the Thanksgiving festivities. And I love yeast rolls. And I’m good at making them. Got a new recipe, too. Hmm…yummy! The first batch of 30, which was probably enough to take to dinner, is gone. Made those yesterday. This morning I prepped…

Come On In! (November 18, 2007)
Come on in…the water’s fine! This is my new website and blog, and eventually a store. That will take some time. I want to have my “brain” in one place, though. Feeling a little too scattered, you know? It’s time to spend time with my littles…one is watercolor painting right now. Two are sleeping. The…

I Love My Job! (September 28, 2007)
It’s Friday. While the laundry is not done, we did have a laundry-fest day, making serious headway on the folding and ironing. The boys folded and I ironed. All the while we watched our library DVD selection: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Typical to the make-up of my children, one viewing isn’t enough. So…

God in the details… (September 5, 2007)
He really is in EVERY detail. We’ve just returned from Family Camp, a venture that I pressed hard to have for our family, and one that I think I resisted gaining the most from. I wonder about myself sometimes. I want so much, but am too lazy to do the work to get it. I…

I Hired a Professional Organizer (July 10, 2007)
Okay, so we worked out a barter, but that’s the same as hiring. Can I tell you? This is the BEST thing that ever happened to me! Okay, meeting Jesus was the BEST thing. But this is in the top 10 I think. It’s not the fact that our home has some order to it.…

You Know You’re a Homeschooler When… (June 16, 2007)
…you login ID to the online bank is rejected and you realize it’s because you entered your library bar code number! Yup! Did that today. Figures.

In transition… (May 30, 2007)
There is SO MUCH to say and probably worthy of about 25,863 blog entries, but alas…I don’t have the time. We have the privilege of hosting my nephew for the summer. He’s 8. Our other boys are 7, 5, 3, and 6 months. All this to say that I’m in transition mode. Five boys. WHOA!…

Supernatural Pod-mobile (April 7, 2007)
I just lay my near-5-month-old down for a nap. As I was nursing him, I looked in his eyes and he was looking up at me with the surprised intensity that only a nursing child can give his mother when the influx of milk let-down catches him off guard. But there was another look there.…

Where Am I? (April 5, 2007)
We’re in the car today and I stopped at somebody’s house to grab something. On the way out, I thought, “I’ll just turn here cause I know it leads to the other road.” WRONG! It didn’t. And about 200 yards later I remembered which road I should’ve taken. But I decided to ride it out…
