Isn’t it fun to see the differences between your children? Not just the differences that make themselves apparent because of age, but the natural gender and personality differences that God has instilled into the core of our very souls. Male and Female he created them. And as a Psych major, I love to observe and record see these differences in …Read the Rest

Seriously, There are certain aisles at Walmart that I cannot even go down anymore. (Like the fabric aisle, the kids craft aisle, the scrapbooking aisle and especially the ribbon aisle) So, you know what kind of trouble I’d be in if someone actually handed me a catalog. Especially one filled with the most beautiful ribbons I’d ever laid my craft-weary …Read the Rest

So, I never do this! But I have absolutely ZERO (good) photos of my when I was pregnant with my older two children. Z-E-R-O So this time I just had to haul myself down to JC Penny’s and get some actual Pregnancy Photos taken of myself. I don’t know why I didn’t do this for the first two kiddos…. It …Read the Rest
So I had a Dream Last Night……. You know, those infamous Baby dreams…. The ones that come right around your due date, and reveal how much stress and pressure you’re feeling about the upcoming baby….

I won’t be teaching Sunday School Anymore. No more “Miss Valerie” Starting next week: I’ll be demoted to just “Regular Old Valerie” Kinda makes me sad It’s been really fun over the last few months getting to know all the little boys and girls in my “Bunny” class.

But close to it. This is way off topic for this blog, but I must share that I’ve finally started to figure out these online coupons. After reading on One Tightwad Mama, all the deals at Target, I decided to give it a shot and see if I have the patience, and stamina to snag up some discount groceries. So …Read the Rest
Have you seen this woman? Yesterday as I was running errands, I ran into an old classmate (read: almost hit her with my car…….yes, on accident) But anyway, she was dressed to the nines: Designer clothing Freshly frosted tips And her make-up perfectly accented her already gorgeous face. And I’d bet 20 bucks she had freshly painted piggies too. And …Read the Rest

(I think I just had to pick that because I’ve never had one…..and it seemed so “Classy”) And the little Truffle was …Read the Rest
Both of my kids have decided to come down with the worst case of Ear/Eye infections I’ve ever seen (which yes, thankfully, I can still see……as I’ve yet to contract the nasty things they’ve been spewing out) Since we don’t normal “School” and we don’t do “Daycare” or anything like that…… it means that we’ve most likely contracted these terrible …Read the Rest
