Awhile back I requested some free samples, something I almost NEVER do. I don’t even remember what all I requested. I got my free candy bar coupon…that was cool and is tucked in my purse for a treat while shopping. I got some baby wipes that I tucked into the stroller for our library hour [...]

Frenzied Friday
There were two infants here this morning, both under 4 months old. Ten children in all. My son is leaving for a party soon and my girl is out with friends this afternoon. Happy baby went home before lunch and I just fed not-so-happy baby. That is no small task. Now she is resting and [...]

Crockpot Chicken
Last weekend my sister and her kids were here to visit. We planned to spend all day Saturday at a state park not too far from us. I knew there weren’t really any places, other than fast food, to eat supper and we were already packing lunch and snacks in a cooler to eat at [...]

WFMW: Rubbing Alcohol
A while back one of my children fell asleep playing with NEON ORANGE silly putty. Obviously I didn’t know they were playing with it in BED! The next morning the poor child sheepishly told me they had a mess. Boy was it a mess. That silly putty was on everything. Flannel sheets. A favorite stuffed [...]

Sewing
I like to sew. I’m not particularly good at it, but I do alright. I mostly sew straight lines so that helps. Someday I’d love to make beautiful quilts and fun, fancy things. For now I make things like pajama bottoms for the kids and wonderfully soft burp cloths. I can sew a straight valance [...]

Small Town
After a trip east with my mom, which I loved, and a trip to HomeTown that was really fun, I’m ready to be in SmallTown for a bit. This month marks 4 years since the moving truck delivered all our stuff to our new home. It’s been a wild ride but I find myself more [...]

A Dentist?
Last week my son had two teeth pulled, as advised by the orthodontist. They were baby teeth that were still solidly planted in his head. All went well with the visit except those new holes wouldn’t stop bleeding. We learned that tea bags have something in them that aids in clotting so once we replaced [...]

When Less is More.
Looks like less time home means more time between posts.
I spent several days in HomeTown last week into this week. It was my man’s class reunion. Being his high school sweetheart and just a year younger, I knew most of the alum in attendance. It was a fun weekend. And the rest of this week [...]

Choices for Chores
So I’ve been on a roll with the whole chore thing the last week…You can see some of my other thoughts on it here, here and here.
Those first years when Grace was little, I struggled with what would be good jobs for her. I didn’t want to expect to much. So while I certainly wanted [...]
