Someday I’ll wake up and not have little toothbrushes to put away… Someday, I won’t have damp pink towels to hang up… Someday I won’t have elfin shoes to hunt for in the corners of my house… Someday my windows won’t have crayon dogs drawn on them… Someday I won’t have a playroom strewn with …
Last night to prepare for this historic day our family discussed a little politics, a bit of history, some social issues and found a few random facts about Barack Obama. Did you know: His favorite meal is wife Michelle’s shrimp linguini He plans to install a basketball court in the White House grounds He drives …
For us, every Monday night is Family Night. We usually have a short lesson, sing songs, play games, and have a treat. Sometimes I’m well prepared and the evening goes smoothly and sometimes I’m flying by the seat of my pants. It’s much more effective and enjoyable when I’m prepared though. I was thrilled when, …
Yeah! Our good friends from California meandered their way past the farmsteads and pastures to visit us this weekend. We gave them a tour of our “quaint” town and talked, and talked, and talked. It was wonderful. We hope the ruralness didn’t scare them too much and that they’ll come back again. What does a …
We raked in the Christmas gift cards this year. On Saturday we took the stack and made the trek into “the big city” to see what we could find. Our first stop was Barnes and Noble where we spent a good hour and came out with a stack of new reads to last us all …
I found myself in Walmart this morning in the cleaning aisle with my nose pressed to all the different fabric softener sheet selections. I’m sure I elicited a few strange and curious stares. But I didn’t care. I was out of sheets and my laundry was suffering from some serious static cling. Why not just …
Congratulations to Shannon, Cricket and Jennifer for winning my giveaway. Some handmade fun will be in the mail by tomorrow! As I was rereading my new years resolutions post, something jumped out at me. I realized I used two words together that really have no place sharing the same post. It happened when I said; …
Now that Christmas is over, so are Treasure Tuesdays. How does “Toss-Up Tuesdays” sound until I think of something better? How apropos since today’s post is a catch up of sorts. A newly adopted tradition that I swiped from Gab (thanks Gab!) was the Christmas Card Map. This year we tracked where our cards came …
Well, it’s back to school, back to the gym, back to the routine. So it would only make sense to get back to Memory Monday posts. When I heard this story, I was so fascinated and hope one day to be able to visit this building. Apparently it still exists and has been made into …
I started this blog hoping it would replace journaling and scrapbooking. A few months ago it occurred to me that as a journal it was doing the job, but I didn’t post enough photos to adequately consider it a scrapbook. So, in an effort to quell the guilt of not being a “real” scrapbooker, I’m …
After a fun-filled week of celebrating, we’re home again. (I’ll post some pictures tomorrow when I have the desire to upload and sort through them all.) Christmas is packed away for another year, the kids are stocked up with fun for another year, and I’m sitting here conflicted. Yes. Conflicted. I know I should conjure …
