No Resolutions this year!

I have decided that this year I am not going to make any New Years Resolutions. I have never been big on them anyway since I can’t seem to stick with anything for too long, so this year I’m scrapping the whole idea and I’m not going to place any pressure on myself to fulfill [...]

The holidays are quickly dissapearing

With the help of Steven’s family,  we took down the last of the Christmas decorations last night. It’s always a little sad for me to see everything put away. The house looks so empty and bare. We had a great time visiting with family and it didn’t even get too crazy with ten of us [...]

No Santa? Where is my Christmas Spirit?

These past few days I have been in a frenzy of last minute shopping and Christmas preparations as I’m sure most of the general population has been as well. Usually I love this time of year. I love the decorating, the music, our church services, the lights, (sometimes) the shopping, the wrapping of gifts, the food, [...]

Menu Planning Monday

Last weeks dishes turned out pretty well, the Tortilla soup and the Chicken spaghetti were a big hit. (thanks to Jamie for the Chicken spaghetti recipe) Steven said that he would pay for them (which is his way of saying he loved them) Although he has been saying that a lot lately, so I’m beginning to think [...]

Menu Planning Monday

Ok, truthfully I have been TERRIBLE about planning my menu these past few weeks. I don’t know if it has just been the pregnancy blah’s but I have had no motivation to plan, shop or especially cook. And if I want to just be completely honest, I get the gag reflex everytime I look at [...]

Christmas 2007

I came across this from the Urban Homemaker and thought it was worth sharing. Food for thought.
 
Twas the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.
Why the Politically Correct Police had taken away,
The reason for Christmas – no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to [...]

It’s Official !!!

I’ve waited 11 weeks to announce… Baby number 3 is on it’s way!
Yes it’s true! We will be welcoming Taylor baby number three into this world sometime in June.  We had our first ultrasound today and it was so exciting to be able to actually see the baby and realize that this is actually happening [...]
