Moving = Busy
I have been missing my blog world. I have been missing jumping over to the blogs I like to read or checking into a couple new blogs from links or twitter. Moving seems to give a whole new meaning to busy. The middle of last week we started the actual moving process, so everything else was put […]
Three Things:Moving
Three things I like about the moving process: the fun of organizing everything, sorting and getting rid of stuff, coming across old photo albums.. Three things I don’t love about the moving process: the messes, the upheaval, the disorganization… What do you like or dislike about moving? Do you have a favorite moving tip?
My Poor Suburban
Approximately a week ago, we were on our way home. It was dark and it was combination snowing/icing. And blowing. Weather that we haven’t had a lot of this winter. {Insert clapping, here.} Unfortunately as we were heading home, there was a little buck deer that was also headed home somewhere. And unfortunately he didn’t […]
Wouldn’t It Be Nice..
Wouldn’t it be nice if there were never bad moods? Wouldn’t it be nice if there was never impatience? Wouldn’t it be nice if schoolwork always went smoothly? Wouldn’t it be nice if there were always smiles? Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone always spoke kindly? Wouldn’t it be nice if deer didn’t get in […]
Progress Pictures and a Peterbilt
I’m throwing a few pictures on here of some paint and progress we are making on the house. They aren’t the best-it’s kind of hard to photograph some of the rooms very well. At least for me. bookcases and books that we moved into the upstairs… It is a blessing to be able to move […]
Time Flies and Flies and Flies
Today is my mother’s birthday. It is also my oldest niece’s birthday. Today she officially becomes a teenager. Thirteen. It makes me laugh. My daughter is twelve and my niece is thirteen. It makes me laugh because there is no way they can be those ages because I am only twenty-two or twenty-three. Somewhere around […]

Cloth Napkins
My daughter’s second sewing project was making cloth napkins. I love them. They are a very cute pattern and you could have all kinds of fun choosing different materials for making them. My daughter enjoyed making them and we are enjoying using them! These are the napkins ironed and folded… and this is […]
The God-Given Task
Ecclesiastes 3:9-15 What gain has the worker from his toil? I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, He has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has […]
Ductwork:I am in Love
I have totally fallen head over heels for the ductwork and furnaces in our new house. I know it sounds crazy. If you have never lived in an old, drafty farmhouse that gets hit very strongly every time-every single time-the north wind blows, you will not understand. I am thankful that we have a home […]
Birthday Cakes
This was the birthday cake that my daughter got to have in Ohio! Grandma had a birthday party for my kiddos one evening. This was Tucker’s. They were both ice cream cakes and they were both yummy!! This was the birthday girl’s cake on her birthday. Last year my kiddos decorated their own cakes. They loved […]
Paint and Rain and Kindness
We went to sleep last night to the sound of rain! A thunderstorm moved in last evening and the rain is still hanging around this morning. I don’t know how much rain we’ve gotten so far, but after the hot and dry summer we had last year, the rain sounds so good. We haven’t had […]

Three things I am very thankful for right now: Fresh paint ~ New doors ~ Food I didn’t have to fix ~ Three more things I am very thankful for right now: the beautiful sunshine and weather we have been having ~ people willing to lend a hand ~ my husband and kiddos ~ What is […]
New Front Door
Thanks to some help, we got the new front door put in! We are certainly learning to appreciate people who are willing to lend a hand and sacrifice their own time for someone else. Here is the old door: From the inside: New door waiting to be unloaded: New door from inside.. and from the outside.. […]
