Yes, I REALLY do love pumpkin. I think I could eat pumpkin muffins all day long. I used a pumpkin bread recipe that I modified from my homemade cookbook. It's actually just a 3 ring binder we had laying around. My favorite aunt e-mailed me 9 e-mails full of attachments. Each attatchment was a ...

Motherhood
I have grown as a mother so much the past couple of years. I feel blessed to have women in my life who are good examples of what a Godly wife/mother looks like. Because quite honestly, I'm not so sure I would've gotten it on my own. So this weekend I am being blessed with the opportunity to ...
I will.
Proverbs 31:15 "She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household" So does this mean food like nutrition, or spiritual "food"??? I've read it both ways. My goal tomorrow is to be up before my husband. THIS IS HARD. The mornings are cold, freezing cold. My bed is warm, ...
Legal Contract?
I was on facebook today. Alright, I'm on facebook like, everyday. I was really disappointed to read something about marriage as strictly a binding contract. I mean seriously a legal contract? Yeah okay, I'll admit there have been times early on in my marriage that if we didn't have a legal ...
Do I Dare Touch His Tools?
SHHHHHHHH... I decided today I am tired of seeing my husband suffer. I would like to somehow organize his/our tools. I know this is not my place to be doing it, but his tools are NOT organized, most of the time he cannot even find what he's looking for. He is super frustrated with it, but doesn't ...
Hot Date!
My sweetheart and I went on a date tonight, and it was wonderful. After dinner, where we split an order of cheesy bread, he took me out for ice cream! I tried to tell him how silly it was to go pay $1.75 each for an ice cream cone when I had JUST brought home a 4 pack of ice cream sandwiches, for ...
My Husband is in the Shower…
TMI Alert: Hear it comes... My husband is in the shower as I type this. When we were first married I would hear him turn the water on and as quickly as I could I would strip down, buck naked and jump in with him... Now we've been together for 6 wonderful years and I do still do that on the rare ...

A Reason to Stay Married
Today, I want to share one of the reasons why I want to stay married (I praise Jesus that I have MANY reasons I want to stay married, this is just one of the cool examples). My husband is an excellent shopper.. When (& ONLY when) he wants to be. I had a MOPS meeting tonight & the princess ...
Terminal Illness
The little guy and I took a trip to the local library today. I found a few books and put my name on a waiting list for "The Last Song". One of the books I read today was called "A Short Guide to a Happy Life" by Anna Quindlen. The book talked about terminal illnesses. They scare me. My mother ...
Meal Time Makeover- Day 3.. Perfect?
It's day 3 and things are going well! Just a quick update, Chad's breakfast was homemade granola bars. I made a batch yesterday so he will be able to take those all week if he chooses to. Simple and so much better for him than the store bought, although I'm sure I can find an even healthier ...
Goal: Meal Time Makeover- Day 2.
I call this Day 2 of my meal time Makeover challenge. Only because that means I have 1 day behind me and I'm further along on my journey. So far, not so good! :( All day yesterday we were building a bathroom in the basement. We had to move furniture (again!) to be able to put up the new walls. I was ...
