Yesterday I read an article in the free weekly periodical called “The Advertiser News”. As I read, I became infuriated with the stupidity of the school board members and also relieved because I don’t have to be a big pain in the neck at the school board meetings if any of my children actually DID attend [...]

We’re having another little boy!!!! We are very excited, especially for Liam. He won’t be the only little boy in the family now.
I remember when I was first married I had said that I wanted five children: three girls and two boys. It’s funny that’s what I actually got! However, I’m pretty sure that this [...]

Liam is 3 today! It’s hard to believe it has been that long, but I say that all the time about my children growing up. He woke up on the wrong side of the bed….grouchy. But after he opened his presents from us, he was quite a bit happier. Imagine that.
We don’t have [...]

It was one of those weekends when I was initially disappointed because I didn’t think that I got a lot done. But after thinking about the things I actually DID get done I was relieved to see that in reality much was accomplished.
1. Went and got the hoosier cabinet. Eric was skeptical….he always is about [...]
Yesterday

Yesterday was an interesting day. It started with me waking up bright and early to get everyone to meet a “local” family in Nashville. I made breakfast and packed a lunch and did the bath thing with everyone.
By 8:40 a.m. we were out the door heading to an antique store by Spring Hill. This is where the Hoosier [...]

Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 30! At various times during this past year it would freak me out, but once I got closer to the actual date I wasn’t. I was afraid that I would cry or something, but I didn’t feel any remorse at all. This was a relief because part of my [...]

So I’m bad at sticking to my lists and should just wing it like I usually do instead of taking the time to make them. sigh. Anyway, I was able to get more weeding done last night. I did make some more good meals. But I guess the morning sun sapped a ton of [...]

It’s official. I’m completely OUT OF SHAPE from being so exhausted my first trimester. I think part of me was kind of scared to do much too because I was afraid that I’d have another miscarriage. I was really, really tired though. During the first 15-16 weeks of pregnancy it took all of my energy [...]

I don’t know where I saw this link. I remember it being on SOMEONE’s? blog, but I can’t think of who it was. But I saved it because I think what these people are doing is sooo cool. In short, they have a house in the LA area in which they use [...]
Getting More Organized

Now I’ve never been one to be motivated to be Martha Stewart the 2nd. I have tried to be a good mother and wife. I homeschool my kids and teach them how to do everyday things like clean and cook. I’m good at making something out of nothing as far as meals [...]
