Shopping Deals!
Did you know this is the time of year I do most of my Christmas shopping? I try to be done by November 1st so we can all enjoy the holiday season more. We usually like to gift hand-made items, either ones we’ve done ourselves or buy through etsy. But sometimes there are certain products […]
I LOVE MY FAMILY!
You already knew that though, right? This past Sunday little Ganache was blessed. (For those not of the LDS faith, a baby blessing is similar to a christening in that it is a naming ceremony but there is no baptism. We don’t believe in infant baptism, rather our children are baptized when they reach […]
A little teaser . . .
I got on the computer with the intention of uploading some photos of our wheat harvest only to find my camera battery was dead. Dead, dead, dead. So that post will come tomorrow. Instead I leave you with a little teaser. I am working on a project with three other terrific bloggers. It involves a […]

Getting Rid of Stuff
One of the ways we are preparing for the arrival of the baby in just 17 days (yes only 17 days left until I will be induced! There will be a post about that later.) is to get rid of stuff. We have been decluttering, purging, and deep cleaning. It has felt really good! We […]

A Couple of Recommended Homeschooling Resources {{and sale!}}
Blogger was down for most of the day. Blogger users couldn’t post or comment. Which was probably a good thing as we were able to make another big batch of strawberry freezer jam, take photos of new etsy listings, be visited by the bookmobile, mow the lawn, cut and freeze rhubarb from my sister-in-law and […]
An Easter Countdown: The Atonement
This activity goes along with day seven of The Living Christ: An Easter Countdown. Two simple object lessons were done today to show how Christ takes away our sins. The first was a replica of this one shown by Jocelyn with a white carnation and water dyed red. Although we could see pink tinges in […]
Delayed….
The homeschooling post for today is in the works but not done yet. I got hit with the stomach flu right in the middle of shopping in Reno with my three oldest on Wednesday, had to spend the night there as I wasn’t in any shape to drive (thank goodness for wonderful in-laws who let […]
Just…….here
Well, poor little Hershey caught the stomach virus and is sick today. The three older girls and I are taking turns holding her so we can still try to get a few things done. It doesn’t help that I am also feeling just a wee bit squeamish too. Can I just tell you how much […]

Random…
Shannon at Mom Loves Books tagged me for a random questions meme. Here’s what she asked and my answers. 1. Toddlers or Teens? Which is harder and why? Toddlers. They haven’t developed reasoning skills yet. It’s harder to help them learn the whys of what we do, what our rules are etc. The teens have […]
