Sometimes I am not that brave when it comes to cooking. When we first got married, I was a horrible cook. No, no, not just me saying I was horrible, but my husband (as sweet as he is) always found the nicest words to tell me to use a recipe, this was awful. Awful usually […]
Preschool Week 3
So, I have a confession to make….we didn’t get to our preschool lessons last week! I know, right?! But at least that proves to you that I am just as busy, forgetful, or unorganized as some of you may feel, but you think you are the only one in that boat. Especially with all the […]
Preschool Week 2
Hope everyone enjoyed the preschool lessons last week! Lil’ A really enjoyed it! She wanted to do more. Hopefully that trend continues. This week I’ve added the Fruit of the Spirit component in a quick way. So if you choose to use it, great. But it isn’t the main part of the lessons, just an […]
Preschool Lesson Week 1
So, I’ve finally compiled my preschool lessons so that you as stay at home moms (or dads!) can have something simple, short & fun to do with your child during the day. I have been out of the classroom for 3 years, and while I miss it a lot (the students, the parents, the high […]
See you soon…
So, I’ve been thinking about writing this post for a long time. I really honestly didn’t know how to say all that one wants to at a time like this. You see, we have some really good friends moving away. I have tried to not think about it. But tonight as I got their girl’s […]
3,000 pins…”Pinterest Friday” Special Edition
Most people who know me, know that I really enjoy pinterest. I think I’ve gotten a few people addicted to ‘pinning’ (You know who you are, ladies!) and for that I apologize. I just pinned my 3,000th pin! I actually have held off being on there the last two days, just so that I could […]
Stronger Simplicity.

A few days ago, I spent my day on the floor. Purely by choice. I sat there and colored, played, & cuddled. I noticed that my carpet needs a good deep clean or just a vacuum and I realized that there are […]
Nothing Endures but Change…
I loved Road to Avonlea as a kid. The photos above are from a particular episode in the early years. Sarah’s father was back to take her home, but she’d already settled in and loved her new found family. Even though they were crazy sometimes and fought and didn’t […]
Pinterest Friday!
So, as most of you know, I am pregnant. And just this afternoon while doing some digital photo organization (isn’t that just plain annoying when you just don’t keep up on it?), I got a sweet craving….which isn’t good because I have been doing quite well keeping my cravings under control. Well…after tonight, that might […]
Sewing for us
The last few weeks I have spent time cutting, piecing, pressing & assembling the duvet cover I found through Amy Butler’s website . She has so many free patterns for quilts listed. I do find that the one challenge I have with her designs are the fabrics she uses are so unique that it misleads you […]
