Caylee has been Gluten Free for just about a week, I think she had a waffle for breakfast last Friday morning… So far I notice no difference in anything, other than the fact that she is peeing ALL over the floor ALL the time. but I don’t think that’s related to taking...

Two Saturdays we were driving around just to drive around. it was nice out and we felt like going for a short drive. There are a ton of little roads and cute houses that line the hill out our bedroom window, so we decided to get a closer view. We accidentally went...

Saturday I looked at an apartment my husband looked at during the week. It’s about 2 minutes from his work. I was a little unsure, because since the electric was off the owner was unable to do the little things around the apartment that needed done, like paint, and...

For Who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? Therefore I will praise you among the nations, O Lord; I will sing praises to your name. Psalm 18:31 + 49 Thank you Lord for dirty dishes, because it means we have food to eat. Thank you for bills,...

Being a mom to three has been harder than I expected. At first it wasn’t bad, but this week I’ve started having guilt about not having as much time for the kids.I feel like there’s not enough of me. I feel bad if I hold Josiah because Caylee’s not getting the...

How much is your tv on? it seems like ours is only off when we’re all in bed. A lot of the rime the girls aren’t sitting watching it, it’s just background noise, but the second i turn it off they whine for it to be on. My biggest reason for having it on so much is...

I love snow, I love it more in the north where they know how to plow roads, and people have sleds and snow is just a way of life. Down here in the “good old south” they don’t know what to do with snow, we get a few inches and everything is shut down for days. We got...

As of November 10th, it had been two years since my husband was laid off from his job. A lot has happened in those two years in our family life and in my husband’s “career” life. Once he was laid off he tried to find work with another Architecture firm, but was...

Tuesday was my prenatal appointment, I was happy to get the clear to start exercising again. To me this meant one thing- I could finally run! I was super excited but knew with Eugene working long hours it was going to be hard to get a run in. Tuesday night I did a...

Never in my life have I been THIS excited to be able to start exercising again. I don’t think I would have ever thought that I’d be counting down the days until my postpartum check up knowing that if they don’t clear me to run I’ll probably start crying. I thought for...

I had one of the best Christmas’s in a while. Mostly because I got to spend it with some of my family. Although I absolutely LOVE my husband’s family and I enjoy spending time with them, nothing can replace your own family. Our Christmas gift was the gas money to get...

So far as a family we haven’t had the chance to make any Christmas traditions, unless you count making a paper chain to count down the days so that we don’t have to answer the question “how many more days until Christmas?” twelve times a day. We normally travel to...

A while ago a good friend blogger had recommended the movie Food Inc. Recently my sister in law rented it from netflix and we watched it. OH MY is my reaction. For over half the movie my eyes were bugged out of my head and my jaw was on the floor. I was disgusted,...

Now that we’ve moved close to my husband’s family I am watching his niece and nephew. His niece is almost 10 and I home school her, his nephew is a little over 2. So with My two girls and them I’ve got 4 kids, 10, 3, 2 and 1. and Now I’m pregnant too! Some days are...

Want to know a secret? I’ll be getting a really nice Christmas present this year. Diamonds. just kidding, another baby!( assuming all goes well) In turn that means we’ll be needing another Christmas present, a van. Our little Taurus wont hold another car seat. We’re...

Saturday was my race. I ran my first half marathon in 2 hours 10 minutes and 3 seconds. that’s just under a 10 minute mile. Not too bad. that includes a bit of walking at the water stations and a potty break at mile 9. Miles 7-9 were the hardest, but luckily a random...

Yes, I am blogging again! So quickly! Amazing. Honestly I am just bored. what? yes I said bored. I don’t know the last time I was bored. The girls went to bed early because Caylee only had one nap today and Lexi was up REALLY late at her cousin’s house last night (she...

It’s sad how little i blog anymore. Time is just not something I have, especially time to sit in front of the computer. Since we’ve moved my computer has been in the office where Eugene works from home, so the idea of me sitting down in here with 3 little ones running...

I ran tonight and had an awesome run. I’ve been working on my mental thoughts while running because since I’ve moved here I’ve had a hard time running. Before we moved I did 9 miles and never once walked. I don’t know if I’ve done a run without walking since we’ve...

Almost every day my wonderful husband gives me a 30 minute lunch break (one of the BIG bonuses of having him work from home). Now that I watch my niece and nephew I don’t get any time during the day to just sit and not think about dirty diapers or feeding kids, so...

Monday’s don’t normally bother me, they tend to be like every other day, but Today…. today was a day. That’s about all I can say about it. It was CRAZY here. I’m not sure if it had to do with the time change or not, but 3 of the 4 kids were cranky off and on, meaning...

Just thought I’d take a little break from my crafting and cleaning and organizing to blog a little! There are a few reasons I haven’t blogged too much lately, #1 is that my computer has decided to start working at turtle like speeds, and since hubs is still out of...

Last week I decided I’ve had enough of Caylee waking 3-5 times a night and the absolute refusal to go to sleep unless she was nursing so I decided Sunday was the last day of nursing. I spent all weekend telling myself that no matter what it was going to be worth it,...

I decided to take part (a small part) in the online once a month cooking. My freezer is full of left over turkey, brisket and roast, so I didn’t make meals this time. So far I’ve made two loafs of pumpkin bread, a bunch of cookie dough balls that are frozen for...

I got into my first car accident the other day. I hydroplaned into a guard rail. No one was hurt thankfully. but I am glad I listened to my gut and called the police to fill out an accident report. I wasn’t sure who to call so I called 911 call center services and...
