Today we woke to a snowy white sight. Snow happened last night, and covered everything.... everything... As cold and messy as snow is to my mama-mind, every single time it happens, I fall in love with it again. Before my kids run outside and make their snow angels, snowmen and snowballs, I always feel like I must steal away for a moment in the quiet serenity of white beauty.  And

Today has been one for the books. My husband is spending the day hunting with his best friend, and I've been trying to clean and get ready for the next few days of festivities.  Before heading out to the store, I decided to check the bank account balances, since we have a big bill due tomorrow, and I despise late fees. The accounts were sadly low.... even empty.  How did this

If you scroll down several posts ago to the last time I was active on this blog prior to this year, you will see that I was quite the Christmas queen. This year... not so much.... I'm not really sure why I'm not in the mood to get my house all decked out like I once did. Confession: I don't even have our tree up yet.  Bigger confession: We sold our Christmas tree for scrap metal

(image from www.crosscards.com) So I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you to those of you who have stopped by in the last day or two since I first "rebirthed" this blog!!! Because I am no longer on my own domain as I was when I last blogged, some of the links in the header may be broken, but never fear!! I'm working out as many kinks as I can. So I appreciate everyone for

Yesterday I picked my daughter up from school, as usual. We got home, had after school snacks, and everyone was just relaxing. Then Miss Priss stood up and said, "Oh Mama, I gotta show you something." Typically that means she has an important note from the teacher about a field trip or school event. Not this time.  Miss Priss brought out a tube of toothpaste. She said the teacher gave

Years have gone by since I last wrote a blog. In that time, so much life has taken place. While I enjoyed my time blogging before, I needed to reinsert myself into my life. I felt like I was trying to live it out for the blogosphere, meanwhile, memories were passing me by. I have learned a lot since my last blog post a few years back. I find myself in a place once again where I am able to take a

Since yesterday's blog hop mentioned Christmas cookies, I decided there was no time like the present to get to baking!! I had a package of Pillsbury cookies in the fridge, so I baked those yesterday afternoon, but didn't quite get my fill of baking yet. SO, I went through my recipe collection and found this recipe.  I had an unopened bag of chips that were past their "guaranteed

We got our tree up and decorated on Friday, and the rest of the decorations went up on Saturday... And I love to getting all the pretties up all over the house... But there's a little problem... I found Miss Priss in front of the fireplace this morning saying, "Come on Santa, where are you? It's just me, mommy and baby bruddy (Miss Priss speak for "brother") here, you can come on now....

  It's another Monday! Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving!! Questions: 1. What is your favorite way to eat chicken? My favorite way to eat chicken is FRIED!! or stir fried! 2. Have you decorated for Christmas yet? YES!! We usually wait til the day after Thanksgiving to get our decorations out, because I usually decorate for Thanksgiving/fall anyway. This year I didn't

    Today is Thanksgiving! And I am ready to confess something that I've been reluctant to proclaim until today:  It's my favorite holiday. Up until now, I thought that as a Christian, my favorite holiday had to be Easter or Christmas, because they are directly related to very significant times in Jesus' life. I love those holidays too, don't get me wrong... ...but I

Lady M's class read some poems from Shel Silverstein's Falling Up book last week. They had to draw pictures based on the poems they read. Apparently one of the poems was about a man who was being eaten by a crocodile. The poem referred to the crocodile as "croc". Lady M said that one of the boys in her class drew a picture of a man being eaten by a shoe.

I love Q&A blog hops (even though I've been missing out on 5QF's for a LONG time, gotta get back in that groove!!)!! Join in if you wanna :) Questions: 1.

I love HGTV. It's probably my most favorite channel, and I am a fan of nearly every show. I love househunting with the folks on House Hunters, watching houses get staged for selling on several other shows, and the design shows are my most favorite. I watch and start thinking about how much I need to do to get my house fixed up, how my kitchen needs a total overhaul, how my carpets are filthy

I'm trying to make myself write more, just because I'm at home with 2 of my 3 kids most of the day and I NEED some adult time, even if it's only through blogging.... so since I'm trying to "rebuild" my blog, I found this really cool Monday blog hop called Meet Me Monday!

Remember my last blog where I said I was gonna start blogging regularly again? (no comment) Yeah- uh, sorry bout that! There's been a lot of stuff going on, of course still adjusting to the new kid in town. His sleep schedule is finally starting to make sense, and last night he slept for 9 hours straight!! I didn't, since I'm so used to waking a couple of times a night to feed him, but it was

That's right!! IT'S BABY TIME!! The nursery is ready....   The rocking chair is now in the corner.... The carseat is in the van.... And at 6 am I am supposed to call the hospital to see what time I come in to be induced!! The girls are spending tonight at my parents house so they don't have to be up so early- then when they

Nope, no baby yet... I have 2 weeks and 3 days until my due date. I went to the doctor last week and was so excited when she said I was dilated 1 cm. Then I saw a different doctor yesterday, and his words were not what I wanted to hear. In fact, they embarrassed me and I'm not even posting them. Anyway... baby's room is pretty much ready. Boss is finally working on names, and we've narrowed it

Here it is, August 7, and my due date is exactly one month away!! I feel like I'm stuck a few months back and time is just moving on without me. Am I prepared for baby number three? I have his room painted, the crib is up, the changing table still needs work, and I have to find a few screws for the swing, but for the most part, I have most of the necessities. But I really don't think my mind is

Wow, I have totally dropped the ball on my blog, sorry ya'll.... We're counting down, it's now 9 weeks and 5 days until Baby Bito's due date. Not that I actually expect him to come anywhere near that. I've probably said it before, but I've never gone into labor on my own, so I typically go a week or two past my due date before I'm induced. So it's probably closer to 11 weeks until he'll make his

Since I'm working on something at the computer, I figured I could take a minute before rushing out the door to get Lady M from gymnastics to catch up... Me, the girls, the hubby and Baby Bito are all still doing great. We've been fighting a losing battle in the last several weeks against our house. First the plumbing under the kitchen sink went out. I woke up one morning to a semi-flooded

I was contacted a few weeks ago about doing a review for the new line of OxiClean products, the Max Force Power Paks and the Gel Stick. I was THRILLED!!  My family is probably one of the messiest in the world. I was clumsy as a kid, and have become even more so as an adult, and apparently I passed that on to my two girls.
