I can hardly believe sweet little Isabelle, who affectionately call Boop, is already a half of a year old young. I can remember with great detail the day she was born and those nights staying up with her while she nursed to her little hearts desire. Actually, I can remember those nights staying up so […]
Life
A Bed in the Living Room?
We are a family of 5 living in a two bedroom home. Not only is in two bedrooms, but we have a total of four rooms, not including closets. Those rooms include the living room/kitchen, the bedrooms and the bathroom (the porch is outdoors and the shed is an unfinished room without air conditioning). Do […]
Out With the Old, In With the Older
Boy am I happy to be writing this… I have officially found a replacement for the ugly pink monster formally called a chair. Let me give you a brief seating history. When we moved into this house, we received two hand-me-down couches from my mother and step father. One was a large couch and the […]
March Thrift Store Finds
It’s been one month since I last shared my purchased thrift store goods so I am back to share what I found in March. This month I found more practical but not as pretty items as well as some I have no idea why I would need these items. I also ended up spending less […]
The Humor in Backyard Chickens
Do you see what I see? Yes, that is a chicken egg in our shed slash laundry room. You see, our chickens are free roaming. I’m not talking free range as in enclosed with hundreds of other chickens in a building, I’m talking real free roaming. Of course we have a coop for our chickens […]
Our Spring Garden
Our front yard garden is now blooming with life and with the blessing of a new camera, I thought I would virtually show you around. These week old pictures are actually a bit outdated now that we’ve had a good rain, which is like steroids to plants. I will give a pretend high-five to anyone […]
I Want To Ride My Tricycle
Okay not really, but Eliana wants to ride hers! For Christmas, my dad and step mom sent this awesome Radio Flyer tricycle for the little rascal. Eliana was, um, unimpressed. Eventually she warmed up to pushing it around the house and ringing its bell but still would refuse to sit on it. Until my dad […]
February Thrift Store Finds
I’ve been in a thrift store mood lately. I don’t know why or what causes them, the mood just sort of hits and next thing you know I am at the nearest thrift store. I liked sharing my finds during the thrift store challenge so why let the fun stop there? I am not sure […]
Fish in the House
For my birthday last week, my dad surprised us all with a trip down to Florida from Maryland. And since my father couldn’t come to Florida without doing Floridian things, he went to the beach to go fishing. When he came home he brought with him two flounder. Aren’t they funny looking? Eliana wasn’t very […]
Shopping For Real Food At Sam’s Club
I wholeheartedly believe that unprocessed foods are the best for our bodies. I believe our Creator made cows to eat grass, fruits and vegetables to be grown without poisons and food to be eaten without first being turned into something unrecognizable. I know, I know, it really doesn’t seem like I eat healthy. Most of […]
