I should be making lunches!

We are going to the nature center and park in 20 minutes and I should be packing lunches, but I don’t want to.  So in 10 minutes I will be stressed and running like a mad woman to get it done, but that’s just the way I roll. 
I am making a lot of [...]

No time to blog!

I want to blog…I really, really want to! However, trying to find the time to blog right now is just not easy.
The house is mostly decorated for the holidays, and we will be getting our tree this weekend and decorating that. I am busy with the kids and running the household, trying to [...]

Seeing Christ in Christ

I won’t call this required reading, but if you have a few minutes it is really, really good reading. One of my very favorite blogs, evah! I might be naive, I might be crazy, I might be many things, but I sometimes feel so overwhelmed with emotion at the goodness I still see [...]

Off to the zoo!

Well, we are off to the zoo today.
Because I am not pressed for time and I don’t have a ‘to do’ list 19 miles long. Nope, not at all.
But, we need a day outdoors while this weather lasts…winter is right around the corner.
Pictures when I get back! Although, I still haven’t shared the [...]

Crazy 8’s meme

I should have done this yesterday when I was a Spaz, but I eventually did make a menu for two weeks, a grocery list and take the kids to their first 4H meeting last night. Alas, I had to be an adult after all. We are about to read “Peter Pan” during our [...]

I’m a total Spaz

I have had way too much coffee today. I typically drink 2-3 cups, but I have had about five this morning. I am sensitive to caffeine and it shows.
I am wildly hyper and completely unmotivated at the same time. I need to be menu planning and grocery shopping. However, all I [...]

I love…

I love pumpkin flavored coffee creamer, and it’s already almost gone from stores. What’s up with that? It’s not even Thanksgiving yet! I should have another two weeks at least people. Get with the program already.
I don’t “love” yet, but definitely “LIKE,” Peppermint White Chocolate Creamer from Lucerne. As with their [...]

Benjamin Franklin

We are reading “Benjamin Franklin” by Ingri & Edgar D’Aulaire as part of our history curriculum. It’s a charming book and the illustrations are really sweet and whimsical. I love it lots and lots, but Super-boy had a slow start with it. Ben’s early childhood was a little boring, but now that [...]

Apron Giveaway!!!

I fell in love with the “Bounding Blossoms” apron and so I simply must enter twice because I have to have it. In order to enter twice, I am posting this blog.
Apronista is giving away aprons. What are you waiting for, you know you want one!! At least go [...]

The 4 levels of cleanliness

I have decided that my home has four levels of cleanliness. Yes, four. I decided on four when I was thinking this blog up, you see, and so there you have it. Four it is.
Level 1 (or “all hell has broken loose”)
This is when mommy has been sick for a few days, [...]
