If you haven’t already noticed, I LOVE learning games! Not only do I love to make them, but to play them as well! Sometimes finding an educational game that spans the ages is difficult, but every once and a while we find something that is entertaining for the whole family. Last week I was browsing the clearance aisle and found …Read the Rest
I am slowly coming out of the “I just had a baby fog” and making my way into the “I have four children, three of which are filled with Testosterone fog” (Thats actually a type of fog, look it up…near cumulus) But really? I actually HAVE four children. And I’d be lying if I told you that my childhood dreams …Read the Rest

Dear First Time Mother Whose Baby is Sleeping Through the Night, I regret to inform you that we can no longer speak to one another. It’s nothing you’ve done…. No one is really at fault here. It’s really just a matter of avoiding temptation (Something that is addressed quite seriously in the bible in fact.) Because, you see if we …Read the Rest
Okay, I need some opinions here…. I whipped up this hat this afternoon, and I can’t decide…. Is it Adorable or Atrocious? It kinda has that, “I’m so ugly I’m cute!” kind of a feel to it. I tried it on Freckles, and he’s pretty sure he doesn’t like the feeling of an Owl perched atop of his head: Oh …Read the Rest
Today was a day full of acomplishment! No only have we made it through our second week back in homeshool, but we actually got past all the required work to have time for some Crafty Fun! We didn’t return to craftiness with anything too complicated, just a little construction paper and some glitter, but I am excited that we are …Read the Rest
I meant to post these before “Freckles” came, but time just got away from me! This is a baby blanket that I made using a pattern from Amy Buttler’s, “Stitches for Little Ones.” I used Chenille for the inside of the blanket: And this adorable green print for the outside: There is also a cute “Fun with Dick and Jane” …Read the Rest

I am a little worried about posting this…. Not because I’m being extra shy or anything, I just don’t want to JINX myself. Because Last time I posted pregnancy photos of myself, I immediately went into labor. Remember? Yeah, so as I post this photo I’m a little worried that once it goes live, you won’t hear from me for …Read the Rest
Upon notifying the Shepherds, the angels rushed to BerryLand to tell Strawberry Shortcake the Good News!
Oh man…. You are going to want to bookmark this site right here. This has been my favorite website this month, as I get ready for baby….and baby cousin. My latest crafty craze has been these fantastic freezer paper stencils. I’ve seen these all around the web, but I really love the tutorial I found here, because there were step …Read the Rest
That’s right! I’ve spent the last month (yes…month) using every spare second I had to update, rearrange, fix and “beautify” all of our websites. Phew! I was on a personal mission of getting things fixed up before this next baby came, and I’m happy to report that I believe I made my deadline. I wanted to share with you some …Read the Rest
I have been busy sewing this week. (If you count ripping seams and restarting project mistakes as sewing) I do. And all the ripping and tearing has been worth it because Sissy now has THREE skirts that go past her little knobby knees. First remember, this green flannel skirt with a zipper: Lime Hunter Brushed Plaid Second there was this …Read the Rest
Okay, I never enter photo contests. Even though I think my kids are the cutest in the world, My photography is something to be left unsaid. Something is either Overexposed, or Underexposed, or I’ve cut someones entire head off. Sad they don’t make smart cameras for that, “Beep, Beep! Your subject’s head is not in the frame, please take a …Read the Rest

We’re due in December, right around Christmastime…. and right in the middle of our Homeschool year….. So a long Winter break will be headed our way! And even though the baby isn’t technically here in the outside world yet, I’ve added …Read the Rest
He’s cute even when he’s sick isn’t he? Actually he’s just about all better now, but boy did we have a long week! After 3 nights in the hospital we are finally home, and relishing in the fact that at least we missed the 100 degree weather this week. Always find the blessing people. Actually, and strangely there is a …Read the Rest
So this afternoon, while talking with my middle child. (Yeah….got three children now…..that means one is in the middle) My middle child, Bubba, who is 4 declares: “Mom, when Daddy dies and goes to heaven, then I will get to marry you!” (btw-Happy Father’s Day hunny) “No sweetheart. Daddy is my husband, and you can’t marry your family. You have …Read the Rest
Is that even possible? Yes, Yes it is! I can’t believe it’s taken me 3+ kids to figure this out. Sheesh. Actually, I’ve never had a reason to even think about it because my first two kiddos were just fine using the cheapo wipes from Walmart. But then came Monkey Butt And his little tush is too sensitive for even …Read the Rest
