Eden’s seven. Seven. How did that happen?It would seem that, just yesterday, she was tiny and sassy and saying the craziest things. Today, she’s big. And sassy and saying the craziest things. Ok, so maybe less has changed than I think. It’s just crazy to think she’s seven.For her birthday, she chose Andes Thin Mint […]
It’s the little things.
My washing machine died Thursday. We read reviews, looked at machines, and felt our heads begin to swim. We talked to two companies that sell commercial washing machines and they spun faster. Finally, I found one. I hope it’s good. With my checklist in hand, it met my criteria. Blaine’s getting it now, at the […]
Isn’t God good?
I wash a lot of laundry. Today’s diaper rinse water ended up on the laundry room floor. Upon taking apart the machine, Blaine found melted plastic and two holes in the plastic drum and more parts ruined than the washer is worth. But this didn’t happen 25 loads and three weeks ago, when he had […]
New wheels. Really, really big wheels.
If you’d ever have told me that at age 28 this would be my dream vehicle I’d have said you were crazy. But I love it. Three benches, two bucket seats, and seating for 12. It holds five car seats without complaint, (no shoving required!) and Liberty has her choice of five empty seats. And […]
Don’t call me crazy. Just give me ideas. Please?!
If you were in charge of teaching a group of about a dozen three year olds for four hours once a week, what kind of things would you do? How would you deal with keeping attention? With obedience and teaching them respect? Ideas, anyone?
It’s the new last week.
Today, I went grocery shopping. I took my list, got what was on it, and headed home. Tonight, cleaning out my jean pockets, I found my grocery list. Except half of what was on it I hadn’t gotten today. Huh. I know I got everything on my list. Then I found another list in my […]
I’m feeling so blessed.
Last week a family from church offered to help me with whatever I needed most. Having a hard time knowing what to choose, I decided I’d either polyurethane the stools I’ve been wanting to get done or I’d have them help rearrange my kitchen cabinet contents. As a family of ten, they surely have some […]
My month in review.
I said I’d post photos of the van. I know. But I didn’t count on a little thing called “life” happening. As in, I got busy with motherhood and schooling and scolding and cooking and explaining and diapering and a whole host of other things. I’ll get there. Blaine’s coming home tomorrow, Lord willing. They […]
Full size.
I’ve joined the “I drive a huge van” crowd. Well, I haven’t actually driven it yet, but it’s sitting in my driveway. That counts. What’s your dream vehicle? Mine, in recent years, has lots of seats and lots of space. If you had told me when I bought my little two door hatchback Escort that […]
Dear, dear Ruby. Thanks for keeping me humble.
We were digging through boxes of clearanced mittens and other miscellaneous at the local 1/2 of 1/2 store. You know, $.49 for a brand new Children’s Place hat, simply because it’s last season or needs about 3 stiches to close the seam that’s split a bit? This is how I clothe my children. Love it. […]
