My family and I live fairly simply. I don’t spend much money on decorating the house. We often shop at thrift stores and consignment stores for our clothing. We purchase used items as much as possible. We don’t even own a dishwasher or a microwave. We have ONE television. [...]

Random Thoughts @ 4:00 a.m.

After tossing and turning for about an hour in bed, I finally gave up on sleep and am now writing a blog about random nothings.
Random Thoughts:
1. My body must be getting ready for the “midnight” feedings that I’m going to have to do once Sean gets here. This is the 2nd week [...]
No Change

I had another dr. appt. Nothing is happening yet, except that I gained a pound. That makes 19 total. Or maybe that’s 20…. I’ve lost track.
I’m taking a couple of weeks off of homeschooling, which might be extended to three, depending on when Sean is born. [...]

For family and friends, I’ve done this little game since my pregnancy with Arden, (#3.) It’s always interesting to see who comes closest to guessing right. I think that I was closest with Liam, (#4.)
Reality Has Hit
Posted in family, tagged baby, shower on November 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday Eric’s work held a baby shower for us. It was so nice of them! They pooled together and got us an infant seat and a jogging stroller. This was really an answer to prayer, especially the infant seat, because most of our “big” stuff either wore out with Arden or Liam. [...]
Weekly Visits
Posted in family, misc. meanderings, tagged baby, doctor, labor on November 19, 2008 | 2 Comments »
If you are a guy and get squeemish about girly stuff, I would suggest you don’t read any farther. But there isn’t anything horribly grotesque or embarassing, so I don’t care if you read this blog…..
Yesterday I started the dreaded weekly visits to the baby dr. Yesterday I found that I gained [...]
Laptop?
Posted in misc. meanderings on November 18, 2008 | 3 Comments »
As I’m typing on my laptop, I’m seriously starting to doubt the truth of this word. My belly is growing and my “laptop” is seemingly wanting to be some sort of bomb, as it keeps catapulting off of my “lap” and onto the floor. To accomplish typing I’m leaning very far back on [...]
Winter Garden
Posted in family, garden, tagged baby, garden on November 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
My winter garden is growing decently. It’s not fast-growth, obviously because of the weather. However, there are some weeds growing…. They always seems to find the tenacity to grow. So sometime soon we’ll have to weed it.
Another thing growing like a weed is Sean. I’m still [...]
Rest?

Any mother knows that this word rarely becomes a reality for them. This weekend was busy, but productive in many ways. However, none of the productivity was at Laughing Thyme Farm. The environment is coming to a place of rest all around us. The only thing growing right now are my [...]
Half-Domestic?

Well, perhaps more like 75-80%. I am a pretty domestically-inclined lady. Something that I HATE to do is clean. Maybe this is due to the fact that I have 4 children with one on the way. No matter how OFTEN, (or not…,) I clean, it seems as though my efforts are pretty [...]
