June 19, 2017 Home School Doggies Many dogs have lived with us for various amounts of time (we’ve fostered quite a few). Each one leaves their unique pawprints on our hearts. Since dogs tend to single out one person to bond with, each one “belongs” to one of the girls [...]
Why do you say "curiosity killed the cat?" [...]
June 16, 2017 Bulk Canning Four hours of simmering marinara and the house smells like Italian spices! Oregano, sweet basil, flowery parsley, smooth garlic, marjoram, sage, thyme, onion, and rosemary flavors blend together with a yummy tomato base to make five gallons of nearly meatless red sauce (nearly, because we [...]
June 15, 2017 Cousin Train Some days you just need to laugh! When cousins are over, that laughter is always bouncing off the walls. The big girls raced by each pushing a tomato box across the wooden floor. Mandy squealed from Jaquline’s box (“faster!”). Isaac peered up from behind his [...]
June 14, 2017 Hair Day Yesterday was a misty day with the sun desperately attempting to peek through, but the clouds kept winning. Louis decided it was time for a haircut. We usually cut hair outside so I trimmed his hair while Kimberly watched. Kimberly wanted to know how it [...]

June 10, 2017 Health Changer I have this thing about being dehydrated (low water) and anemic (low iron). Or at least had that problem. Pregnancy was like wake up, puke, attempt my multi-vitamin, puke, get to work, puke, and be falling asleep in the truck when we drove home. I [...]
June 2, 2017 Sooty Makeup I’m not really a makeup person. (Okay, I almost never wear makeup.) Someone says “makeup” and I think sweaty post-workout drizzle where my face looked like a tie-dyed T-shirt (which was my teenage inexperience with makeup). Rebeccah, however, is very artistic and does makeup [...]
May 28, 2017 Winners It’s been an awesome day. I covered morning reservations and we went to church. I always feel refreshed and ready to conquer the world after church. Today the discussion was about winners. We talked about how all believers are winners in the end because we get [...]
