Oh the joy of feeling healthy again. I've been carefully following all of my naturopath's suggestions, and I feel totally better except for an occasional cough. Also, the baby has been sleeping better since I am being more intentional about getting solids into him. Extra sleep is always good. So this week has been one of …

The Bad and the Good
This has been an interesting week to say the least. It started out with all of us slowly one by one succumbing to an achy flu bug complete with sore throats and headaches. I am so finished with this winter, but I have hope that spring is really just around the corner. After suffering with a sore …
Hard Tack and an Award
This has been a hard week for me in the sense that I feel like I haven't accomplished much. I don't know why, but for some reason I felt like I was fighting every day to accomplish anything outside of school. At least school happened. I did try making some hard tack this week. My …
Cupcakes and a Camera
This has been an uneventful, quiet week. We all need weeks like that, right? So there's not much to tell you about. I will say that last Sunday we needed to take some cupcakes to church, and my ten-year-old daughter did them about 98% by herself! She's becoming quite the baker. She chose a chocolate cake …
Snow Cream and Pictures
We are all starting to get back to normal health-wise. It feels so good and is a great reminder to me to never take my health for granted. Last night my three littlest guys slept all night without coughing - wonderful. We were able to start school again on Tuesday. We were off most of …
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 …
Simplifying Through Sewing
After what seems like forever I think we're finally all healthy again. Just as we were recovering from the flu my oldest son started breaking out in hives. We have no idea what he's reacting to. Personally, I'm wondering if his body is still working its way through getting rid of the flu and it …
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 …
