I think it would quite easy to say the Missouri Day Trip was a raving success!And that I'm a total slacker. Forgive me yall, the weather this week has been beyond beautiful. I have taken complete advantage of it from sun up to sun down. But decided today we (mostly) finished our projects, so lets…
7 Quick Takes – 9/20/2013
The Little House Edition-1-Yall, our house is complete Ingalls Mania! In almost all things a similarity or a contrast is found between us and them. It is quite comical at times how quickly the girls reference back to the series. They have concluded that Bou and Mr. Littlest are Royal and Almonzo, while the girls…
One Thousand Gifts – Go!
I joined a Woman’s Bible Study Life Group. The study is One Thousand Gifts. Ouch. The basis of the book is to see the thanksgiving in every day. 1,000 of them. 1,000? 1,000! 30? Oh, 30 I can do. That’s easy. That’s like Thanksgiving month when you post on Facebook one thing every day for…

What Our Love Looks Like
I love romantic movies. I’m a sap, it’s how God made me. During those early pre-teen and teen years, I watched movies like Jerry McGuire, Legends of the Fall and The Princess Bride. Thinking my Prince Charming would ride in sweep me off my feet, maybe save the day and we would live Happily Ever…
From Scorpions to Project 33
I can hear you now – what in the world do scorpions have to do with Project 33 you crazy woman. Hang on, you’ll see the logic. We have killed 4 scorpions in the last couple of weeks. And by “we” I mean Bou and Mr while I stood away holding littles, shaking and hollerin…
