This has been a good week for us. We've done packing and finished up more school (still have a little more to do though), but even better we have some friends staying with us for a few days. It's always so good to enjoy the company of those who share your desires and interests. Yesterday …
I'm doing the "Friday File" a day early because I have something else planned for tomorrow. I don't think anyone will mind. This first article says so well the way I feel. I don't want my husband to always get what's left of me. Often my sole reason for taking a nap is so I …
This has been a crazy, busy week. Actually a couple of crazy weeks. We're moving in June to a bigger house! So we had to get our house ready to go on the market, do showings, etc. Everything is settled now though. We're buying a house with my parents that has an in-law suite. Did …
We're getting ready to go camping this summer. It's a bit early for the planning, but I have to admit that we made a mistake. We used to go camping fairly regularly about ten years ago.

This has been a good week. We took our March break this week because it's when my husband had a week off of work. It's been nice to relax and hang out with family. We went away for a couple of days and enjoyed our time away. Now I feel ready to dig in and …
I haven't posted much this week, because I'm busy making a baby gift for a friend's little girl. It is so much fun to sew a tiny baby dress. Anyway, I found a few things that you might find interesting... With eight children I can use all the help I can find to have some …
I am always looking for simple crafts that the children can make for gifts. I'm fairly picky though. I don't want to do something that the receiver won't use. That's setting the standard a little high because children are limited in their abilities. However, this craft is so cool, easy for the children to make …
I've been really busy this week getting our basement organized. Honestly, it was so bad that I didn't even take a before picture to show you. Just trust me. Most of the time it looked like all the shelves and toy boxes and thrown up all over the floor. My solution - I bought twenty-two …
