To be honest…

I had a post prepared about a hilarious outing we had last night…a comical attempt to free our deep freezer from the home that is for sale after *someone* bought too much meat at a BOGO sale to fit in the itty bitty teen tiny freezer in the kitchen of our current home. But that…

Multi-Tasking Monday

I am starting my own theme for Mondays as I have so much to share… First, my vlog for Monday Mingle, hosted by Eighty MPH Mom. The questions this week were: Do you have siblings?  Did you want more or less siblings when you were growing up? What was your wedding song? Did you do…

Of Love and Snowstorms

Our pastor reminded us Sunday that love is a verb, an action, a choice.  After being trapped snowed in with my family all week I can certainly attest to this fact. You know you love your testosterone driven hubby and boys when: the cries of “doorknob” and subsequent running through (your much smaller than before,…

Made for relationship

Today I listened to my friend Amy talk about friendship on her radio show.  Coming home from a weekend like this leads one to think about friendship, about connection, about how our Creator intended for us to be in relationship with others. Relationships that allow us to take off our grown up hats and put…

From bliss to blizzard

I went from this: photo courtesy of Secret Agent Mama to this: the view from my front door (last night before more snow came!) Crazy with a capital C!  This storm, blizzard, whatever you want to call it is ridiculous!  The federal government has been closed for three days in a row! We are happily…

Sheer Bliss

Having your expectations exceeded is such an exciting thing.  And that is exactly what happened for me this weekend while attending a blogging conference called Blissdom. My husband, the concrete, analytical thinker that he is wanted to know what I learned in the sessions. I learned a lot in the sessions…I learned how to be…

Organized Grocery Shopping

Image via CrunchBase With all our talk of organizing our finances in January, I turned to my favorite organizing program to get my shopping list under control.  When you use coupons, pair them up with circular ad sales and are shopping for hungry tween/teen boys, groceries can be a lot to keep track of. Cozi…

My baby girl

First…a little housekeeping.  The Faith, Family and Finances webinar is canceled for today {due to the fact that I am snowed in with my boys, the dogs and the hubby so you wouldn’t be able to hear me} I talked about my pets this week on Monday Mingle and many of you requested to “see”…
