My children are wonderful eaters. They eat all kinds of fruits and veggies (without bribery). But when it comes to avocado and sweet potato and zucchini, that’s where they draw the line! However, every so often we receive a few beautiful organic avocados in our fruit basket from the coop. Most people would be overjoyed […]
I’ve had a headache for 3 days–3 days during VBS week at our church. Yikes! Today I was feeling like enough was enough of this crazy headache. And for some reason today it was exponentially worse. Ugggh! I’ve taken some pain killers to get rid of it, but nothing has worked yet. I’ve also tried […]
I’m probably way to excited about my second raised garden being put in this past week. But for two reasons: 1. We have another fantastic place to grow some tasty, organic veggies. and 2. My wonderful husband did the entire thing without me even asking him to do it. He made time, got all the […]
Our new little guy is finally here! And he is completely precious…Reed Alexander arrived Wednesday night after 93 minutes of labor at 8:33 pm into a tub of warm water in our living room. Through hypnobirthing techniques we learned, we were able to have a nice, peaceful beginning to Reed’s sweet new life. Here is […]
I frequently have inquiries from people wanting to know what we eat and what is in our refrigerator and pantry. I thought I’d share a little bit about that. I find myself in the kitchen for at least half of the day most days. I love creating in the kitchen. I enjoy working at the […]
After a nice rain we get so much water pooled in the runoff area at the bottom of our yard. Here lies a fantastic breeding ground for froggies (and probably mosquitoes, but they haven’t been too bad these days). This situation absolutely calls for traipsing around in rain boots, looking for tadpoles and frogs.
Well, you know how feel about plastic and my kids. I’m not a fan. So, I’ve been hunting for the perfect cups for them. I also don’t like cleaning up spills so I’ve had to factor that into my search. I came upon the Ball jars. I love the idea of them using these as […]
We’ve been leading up to this moment for quite a while. A couple years ago, I thought, Hey! Let’s get rid of our TV. I wanted to for several reasons, but I find it to be a terrible temptation as a mother, just to put something on for the kids so I can get something […]
Although it always seems like I’m working on a dozen things at once, I have a new project. This one is particularly special because Chloe has found a deep love for it as well. She has actually chosen our project over the playground on several occasions…which is a super big deal. On one side of our […]
There are a few hours left of this year. And what a year it’s been! I’m so grateful to be able to share my family and the fun things we enjoy doing with everyone. Thank you so much for reading our stories! I have received so much joy from my children. I have watched them […]
