It’s here, the Christmas shopping time of year! I love Christmas, I love giving gifts, and I even love opening gifts. I don’t always love coming up with gift ideas. We are so burdened aren’t we? We all have so much “stuff”, we don’t know what to gift someone with. 🙂 Or I find that many […]
Forts in the Woods With Friends
Forts and woods and friends. Sounds like a kid’s perfect afternoon. And I think it was. At least they all had a very grand time. A couple of weeks ago or so, my kiddos had friends come spend the afternoon with them, working on building forts in the woods. It was lovely outside and they […]

Happiest of Thanksgivings!
Happy Thanksgiving! I wanted to post a Thanksgiving post and so I did a little search on the words thanks and thanksgiving. This led me to a passage in Nehemiah. I was happy to be led to it, because we worked {mostly} through a Nehemiah Bible study earlier this year. I very much enjoyed digging into […]
More Milo Harvest and Thankfulness Too
Pictures of cutting our dryland milo that I’ve been wanting to post! Editing and posting pictures takes time and I never get it done as quickly as I’d like! Somedays I think blogging is too time consuming and other days I love it! I do love taking pictures and editing them and this is a great way […]
My {Almost} Finished Kitchen{Hello!!!!}
Hello to having my someday kitchen very close to being ready to use!! I’ve been going back and forth between being jumping-up-and-down-excited and trying to just be-calm-and-carry-on.

A Habit Around Here
We have a habit that developed quite a few years ago. We aren’t always exactly perfect in it, but we’ve done it long enough that it is, well, a habit. When we arrive home from town or an outing, I try to clean everything out of the Suburban that isn’t supposed to stay in our vehicle and carry […]
