I like to read about other people's lives. I enjoy posts that give me a peek into what someone else has been doing. I'm guessing at least some of my readers are the same so I thought I'd give you a peek into my afternoon yesterday. I had a lot of baking but I wasn't feeling …

Family Love
These two don't need a special day to celebrate their love. They're best buddies for life. I've never been a big fan of Valentine's Day. I hate commercialism and that's what so many holidays are now - the stores out to see how much they can get out of it. Seriously, a dozen roses about quadruples …
Library Time 18
I really haven't had much time to read this week. Between working on my husband's birthday party and organizing things in our home I've been too busy to read. As well, I've been restless in my reading. I can't seem to settle into any book. I've started a couple but neither really grabbed me. I'm …
Celebrating Family
This has been a busy week, but I don't have a lot to show for it. First of all, my husband has his 50th birthday coming up next month, and I've started plans for a big party. Secondly, I installed a new digital scrapbooking program on my computer, and I've been busy setting it up and getting …
Please Donate
I am sorry that I have been away from the blog for almost a week. Our family was hit by the flu, and when I say hit I mean totally. wiped. us. out. We're almost completely better now. It feels so good to be back to our normal routine even if our appetites haven't quite …
Putting Together a Doll House
Today I'm very happy to introduce you to my sister, Julie. We've had our up and downs in our relationship, but are closer today than we have ever been in our lives. We both homeschool. She has five children with one graduated already. She doesn't currently have a nursing baby, but she is as passionate …
Staying Healthy and Warm
Most of my children have been taking turns being sick this week. Between that and a special project I'm working on for someone's birthday I haven't had much time for anything else this week. Therefore I don't have much to say about this week.I can say I'm thankful for the excellent supplements we take. They …
Simple Giving
This post is longer than normal. It doesn't happen often so I hope you don't mind. ☺ It's that time of year when a lot of gifts are given and received. Our family even has three birthdays between the end of December and beginning of January. I really encourage our children to make as many …
Making Memories
I can't believe it's Friday again already. This week has just flown by. I've been busy making gifts and helping my children make gifts. I've used this time of year to give my boys a working knowledge of the sewing machine. Their favourite gifts to make through the years are the ones where they get …
Simple Gifts
I know I've been missing for a few days. We've been busy as a family as everyone else is at this time of year. Yesterday we had a visit from my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. I wanted us to make gifts for them. I only had about a week to get ready, and in true fashion …
