Just another day

It has been so warm here lately. Summer has arrived and with it the humidity. I am not looking forward to the even warmer days which will be here shortly. Today we got a little bit of a break because of some thunderstorms that have made their way in. As I’m sitting here typing I [...]

Works for me Wednesday

 
After the excitement of Monday night things have been pretty quiet around here, so without having anything to actually say at the moment I thought I would go ahead and participate in Works for me Wednesday.
If you have ever sealed an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside , just place your sealed envelope [...]

Kitchen Tip Tuesdays

We love trying new recipes and especially love cookbooks. But I had a hard time remembering if we had already tried a particular recipe and if we did, did we like it? That is until I started marking the recipes in the cookbooks with little notes and a scale of 3 stars. 3 being a [...]

The hundred dollar penny and an all nighter

Steven and I had just gotten in bed last night when Zoe walked in saying she was sick and starting to gag. We have cleaned up enough throw up to quickly jump out of bed and rush her to the bathroom. Standing over the toilet she informed us that she had swallowed a penny. I [...]

Little Blessing

I love listening to our children pray. Every night for dinner our prayers start out the same way. Steven will start to pray and Zoe will pipe up really fast saying “I KNOW, why don’t daddy pray then mommy pray, then Zacky pray, then I’ll pray” She says this every single night. We love hearing [...]

Frugal Friday

 
Conditioner
 Use your hair conditioner or shower jell to shave your legs. It’s a lot cheaper than
 shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It’s also a great way
 to use up the conditioner you bought but didn’t like when you tried it
in your hair..  some of the shower jells can also be used for bubble baths [...]

Can I complain… just a little?

I am closing in on the end of this pregnancy and although I have had such few complaints throughout it I am starting to really feel pregnant.  I’m no longer really sleeping at night, and because of that neither is Steven. I get such terrible heartburn and nothing seems to alleviate it, and now my [...]

Frugal Friday

Here in Texas Fire Ants are a continuous problem. One of the first times we had an exterminator come to take care of them he told us to put small piles of cornmeal or grits where you see ants. They eat it, take it ”home,” can’t digest it so it kills them. It may take a [...]

Why I love…and sometimes don’t -being a mommy

For some reason I was thinking last night in the midst of an (almost) mommy meltdown about some of my favorite and not so favorite things I love about being a mommy. There are hundreds of both but I wanted to share the few that came to mind right away.
Hearing Zoe say I love you [...]

The pacifier Saga continued…

The good news is that it’s officially been 5 days since Zack has had a pacifier. It started Friday night when we went camping. We were up late and he had been running around all day so he conked out pretty quickly without asking for it. Steven gave in the next day at nap time but we held firm the [...]
