The beauty of youth is all around me. Every day, in my children. I just hope and pray they keep me young. There’s a saying… something about how youth is wasted on the young. I don’t think it’s a waste at all… Can you tell my camera is working again? 😉 These were all…
LaRue Across America – Book Review & Giveaway
We are always happy to have a new book to read around here! Thankfully there is never a shortage due to the fact that my children’s lineage includes many book lovers, including but not limited to their Grandparents and Great Grandparents. (although my father would be the first to say that he’s more of a…
Down With The Treat Bag!
I’m not a fan of the treat bag. Perhaps you could tell by the title of this post. I rarely send them to school with my kids for their holiday parties because I loathe all the candy and junk. And no, they are not the same thing. Candy refers to well, the candy and “junk”…
Everyone Loves a Parade – WW & You Capture
Legs and feet to stand on while waiting for the parade to start… Arms and hands to wave in the air to catch beads as the “floats” go by… Ears to hear the band and all the parade-goers. And eyes to watch it all…. The kids and I have been to four parades since last…
Church or the Hospital?
We have about a 7 or 8 minute drive to church every Sunday and it’s usually filled with noise from the back of the car from the three small people in our life. Meanwhile, the typical conversation between Tim and I may be about what to have for lunch that day or if we remembered…
PSA – DON’T Buy These Jammies – WW
So. I do adore this one store. You know the one that starts with “T”, ends with “ET” and has a “ARG” in the middle? Yeah, that one. BUT. It hath failed me. Tim recently picked out some jammies for the boys there and faster than I could say “Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious” there was a hole in…
What’s that saying about lemons & lemonade?
This week has been kinda hard. But then it’s also been good. A dichotomy of sorts. One group of us has been well (females). And another, not so well (males). Tim has been down for the count since Tuesday night and Little G has had coughing and fever on and off for several days. I’m…
I got a sewing machine for Christmas but I didn’t make these
Yeah, I hope to sew some things for K and maybe even some other items eventually so I asked Santa for a sewing machine. andTHEN? I opened the box and saw all the attachments and got a little overwhelmed. Good thing my Mom shows up on Thursday and can probably show me how to thread…
A “small” Christmas that still seemed “big”
While sitting at dinner on Christmas Eve I had a moment where I was so very thankful. After chasing Kay Kay around church and remembering the birth of our Lord, I looked around and saw my family and our lovely neighbors who treated us to dinner, and I was even thankful for the spilled glass…
These are the Days – WW
We had friends over to decorate cookies today. Six boys and Baby K was the only girl. Needless to say after decorating and “downing” a few cookies it turned into full contact football wrestling in the back yard. But that’s okay, the weather was nice and boys got some energy out. But my favorite part…
