I know, that’s a corny phrase. But it’s true. I have learned that it doesn’t matter where I live as long as I have a roof over my head, food in my tummy and my family with me. In my previous post, I mentioned that we are living in a makeshift studio apartment in the … Continue reading
Home-for now
Well, it’s been awhile since I have blogged, but I’ve been busy packing and moving from Wisconsin to Indiana. I was born and raised in NW Indiana and I love it here. I will miss the beautiful green and gold rolling hills of Wisconsin and the barns. But, Indiana has always been home. We have … Continue reading
Jesus Bring the Rain!
As I was driving in a torrential downpour yesterday, I began to thank God for the rain, and I realized that had it not been for the drought we have experienced this year, I would not be thanking God for the rain. I would probably not like it at all. I might even complain because, … Continue reading
A Time to Mourn
Ecclesiastes chapter 3 says: There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and … Continue reading
Summer fun indoors!
The heat has just been killing everything. The crops, the grass, my energy level and ambition. My child is bored because we can’t be outdoors for long and he’s getting cranky. I can’t blame him. I’m bored and cranky. We’re facing a few more days of 100+ degree heat indexes here, and I’m babysitting three … Continue reading
Moving sale, lemonade stand and a bee!
So, today we were back at the moving sale. We’ve sold quite a bit, however, we have so much stuff left. I decided today would be the last day I’m going to do it. But then, I did quite well today. So, maybe one more day. I fixed up some lemonade for my little guy … Continue reading
Heath bar dip (a.k.a. Big Booty Dip)
I recently made this dip for a party I attended. It was a hit! It’s so delicious and so easy. I love to bake but this past week, it was over 100 degrees every.single.day. My friend requested that I bake some cupcakes. That was a definite no. Not going to happen. I’m a fair weather … Continue reading
The Itsy Bitsy Spider
Recently, my hubby and I were taking out the garbage and he happened to notice an itsy, bitsy, spider working very hard to catch a boxelder bug. The bug was, as you can see, significantly larger than the little spider. That didn’t seem to phase the spider in the least. So, we took this teachable … Continue reading
Moving sale
Today I had a moving sale and will attempt to get out there again tomorrow. I absolutely must get rid of a ton of stuff. We are moving out of state and downsizing since we have only 1 of 4 children left at home. I really didn’t want to do it in this heat, it … Continue reading
Adventures in Homeschooling
My intentions were to make this blog and my son’s blog a part of our homeschooling. His should be about the things that he learns. Mine will be about some of the things we do, and lots of things that I do or think or feel. However, we are struggling to remember to blog because … Continue reading
