For a long time, I’d been immune to poison ivy. I could pull it with my bare hands without issue – and I did. Then last summer, I got it into my head to pull all of the poison ivy around our lilacs. I pulled a lot of poison ivy that day. Immunity over. Apparently, […]
Shopping fail.
I tried a new idea for shopping trip chaos organization. It was the worst trip we’ve had in a long, long time. Does that mean it was a major fail or do we try this again next time and hope it was just adjusting to a new routine?! Some lady, under her breath, muttered at […]
Say what?!
Her sentence began, “Momma, if it’s vegetarian’s day…” I cringed. “Honey, it’s not vegetarians day.” Her older, wiser sister piped up, “It’s veterinarian’s day.” I shook my head, trying not to laugh, and most definitely not going to end this conversation with the truth until I heard all of their scenarios. “Vergarians?” “No! It’s veteranians!” […]
“What color slipcover do you think would be best?” “I don’t care.” I bet he does… “They have a lime green one.” “Okay. I care. NOT lime green.” See, I knew he cared. I made a Pomegranate Jell-O recipe the other day. We all ended up picking out the pomegranate arils and eating the Jell-O. […]
I made my second batch of soap today. Blaine came home to the smell of Cherry Almond Oatmeal soap cooling. (And a pear pie in the oven, but the Cherry Almond was definitely overpowering it.) He thought he’d come home to Butter Letter. He was disappointed. What kind of spoiled is he that I’ve made […]

A little bell rings and…
Sunday services had Pierce quite excited – when we reached the end of the congregational prayer. “Amen.” Pierce starts waving his arms, so excited. Pavlovian response, anyone? Pierce thinks ‘Amen’ means food.
Having fun, without the costumes…
We went to a harvest festival of sorts last night. At the balloon table, Liberty picked a turtle, Eden a parrot, Sterling a sword, Charlotte an alligator – and then it was Ruby’s turn. She asked for a balloon. When asked what kind, she requested round circle with a thing hanging down. I’m slow. It […]
Spinning circles but unable to catch one’s tail…
Sterling, with freshly scrubbed teeth, approached me with the twice-daily question. “Are my teeth clean?” In the midst of some other chaos, I replied, “I don’t know. Are they?” His reply made me giggle. “I don’t know! I can’t see them. Every time I look down to check them, they go down too!” It’s called […]
Christmas prep starts…
What started the day as a pair of ladies socks… ends the day as a blue-eyed sock money for Mr. P.’s Christmas. From the reactions I got from everyone, I may be making five more of these. No decent pair of socks will be safe… *Just for the record, cutting those socks up made me […]
