I am not an early riser. I would love to be. As yet I haven’t learned to practice the discipline. But. I love kissing my husband goodbye everyday. Honestly? It’s the driving force that gets me out of bed in the morning. If it weren’t for my desire to kiss my husband goodbye I’d probably sleep in on a regular basis. (True, I’ve been known to get my kiss and head straight back to bed on occasion.) So this morning I awoke to a hungry baby and as I nursed ... continue reading...
Clothes swap, liniment and birthday…
I am such a horrible blogger. It’s been two weeks since I’ve said a single word. We just get all crazy around here and have so much more to do than time we have to write about it. Anyhoo, remember I mentioned the clothes swap two weeks ago? It was AWESOME! I think I got rid of 2/3 of my wardrobe and brought back home only about 5 pieces. Yay! AND my closet looks so nice and clean. See? That may not look too hot to you but it looks way ... continue reading...

It’s Monday! What a wonderful day; a great way to end a good weekend. We spent Friday, Saturday AND Sunday largely with the body of Christ.

Liniments and thrush…

I’ve mostly been waiting on the scale to mix up some liniment. The recipe I have for liniment uses comfrey root, valerian root, calendula flowers, cinnamon, and cayenne. It’s great for ... continue reading...
Sheets to skirts…
I love sewing. I just wish I had more time to do it. My girls adore the skirts and aprons I make for them and it’s a wonderful way to save on clothing purchases. A nice long skirt will run you $15 – $30 for a child’s size. When I have to do some clothes shopping, I’m hoping to get at least 4 pieces of clothing out of that much money! Well, it’s rare that I do get that many but it’s my target. I’ve found a great way to get a better deal than that with a little extra effort. Wanna know my ... continue reading...
