Our biggest news this week is that we added a cat to our family. Her name is Suzanne, and we picked her up from the local humane society. She had been caught in a fan belt, and her hair is still growing back over her side where they had to stitch her up. She is …
We've had a good week. I've been able to start doing things from my summer list. Today I started working on the order for our school books, and I tried a simple cheese recipe. I've also spent time outside with my children, and we spent a day visiting family. I also had my youngest daughter …
We're feeling so settled into our new house now. This week I hung just about all of our pictures and made some curtains for our daughters' bedroom. It feels so good to be getting back into a routine that feels normal instead of a frantic push to get everything done so I can feel normal …
It's hard to believe that we've lived in our new home for almost two weeks now. The insanity of the first few days of feverish unpacking is over thankfully. Now I'm just unpacking one or two boxes each day and fine tuning where I want everything to go. I've also been getting ready for our …
We're down to counting days now instead of weeks. We're almost down to counting hours until we move! Thanks to MAJOR help from my children I'm feeling fairly organized and ready to go. My oldest son has been especially awesome this week dismantling all the beds. I certainly have enjoyed time at the computer forgetting …
I can't believe it's Friday already. This week has sped by. Next week will be the big push to finish all the packing and get the house clean. I'm actually looking forward to this next week of finishing up and organizing. I know school is out in the States. Here in Canada most schools go …
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 …
This week I've done a lot of scrapbooking both paper and digital. It's been cold and rainy so we've watched movies together while I did the scrapbooking. It's been fun. I've also had time to do some browsing on the interenet and here are some things that I found interesting. I love the look of …
