Cold and Bored…

Yesterday it was 62 degrees and sunny and we had decorating to do. But today it’s in the mid 40s and rainy and I admit I am bored to tears. I do most of my shopping online, so all I need are a few things that the kids want that I will get [...]

God, I Love Having Teenagers

I have always decorated our front yard for Christmas. Full Nativity, lights on the porch, the whole nine yards. It’s usually a three to four day effort to get everything out of the attic, plugged in, lights tested, wired, taped…
But this year, the kids and friends brought every thing down, set it out, [...]

The Worse Thanksgiving Ever

When I was a freshman in college, my parents bought their dream farm. Fifteen prime acres of Tennessee cattle land. Dad wanted to raise pure bred black Angus cows. You know like the ones at Hardee’s. They moved into their new house in early April and Dad began purchasing his new stock. [...]

Genealogy the Way God intended…

Okay, I am not a member of the LDS church, so I don’t really believe God intends for us to do genealogy. Granted, I don’t think he’s against it, as long as we aren’t putting forth false genealogies.
But if God did intend it, this is what he had in mind. Me in my PJs, fire [...]

The Worse Day of My Life…

I always cringe when people ask what was the best day of your life? That is a question you can not answer. I promise you, no matter what you say, you will be in trouble.
For instance:
My wedding day: Now this day was the day I finally got to be Mrs. Hubby and [...]

My Shiny New Sink

When we were buying the tile for the Utility Room, we found this sink on clearance. We’d planned on using our old faucet, but it wouldn’t work with this new sink…

Hubby got it installed last night, so I wanted to share with you how pretty it looks. Yes, it is huge compared to my [...]

Decorations, Feet Up…

Man, what a busy day!
Saturday, #3 had her cheer party. We were gone all day, so, of course, none of my Saturday chores got done. No biggy, I am off all week. I wanted to enjoy the time with my girls. We saw High School Musical 3. Let’s just say [...]

Putting up the tree

I used to hate putting up the tree. Our tree is large and I like lots of lights, so it was an all day affair of me putting in one row of branches, then lights another row, rest…
But last night the girls got home from shopping and they put on some music, and [...]

World’s Sexiest Husband…

Don’t tell People Magazine, or the newspaper, but I married the World’s Sexiest Man. Now this guy is no Tom Cruise, but he understands what it takes to be sexy to average stay at home mom.
1) He does not leave dirty clothes in the floor, not even socks. He not only puts them [...]

Christmas Shopping for Teenagers

Now it used to be so easy when #1 and #2 were children. A month before Christmas I’d take them to preschool and I’d go to Walmart and get a baby doll, a power ranger, some Christmas lights, a turkey, a few winter clothes, and I was done Christmas shopping. I was usually out [...]
