Cause I am just in one of those moods.Mr. Man got a job!! Praise God!! Its kinda sorta like in a similar field as before but much less stress - and we don't have the overhead. Praying it works out well. The owners were concerned about me being due this week and having him take a couple…
Happy 10th Birthday Girly!!
Another one has hit double digits. Despite my pleas to stay 9 just one more year, she refused, declaring she is 10. Sigh. The time is going so fast. She is growing into such a little lady. So proud of you Girly - thank you for being who you are 😀
A child’s first gift
Another one of my favorite things about being back on our land. I am pretty sure I get more enjoyment seeing the huge smiles on the children's faces as they bounce towards me, hands behind their backs, Mr. Littlest hollering "mama, we got something for you".They are wildflowers. Or sometimes beautiful, white, fragrant onion flowers…
Why are we putting our lives out like this?!
Frankly, after reading some of the comments on articles about other Tiny Housers, even I question it. Yesterday, another article - Tiny Homes hit the Big City mentioning another Tiny House Family - was on the front page of CNN! Exciting for sure - until you get to the comments. Some people are very kind, writing words of encouragement and…
Trials to strengthen
Oh my word! How the time has gone by so fast!!We've already been back over a week. Think we finally got things readjusted and reset for life.Had the "37 week final preparations" meeting with our midwife. Now it all seems... real... and close... and real close!

Remembering 9-11
I find it ironic that today, a day in history that has shaped my entire adult life, is the first day being back on our land. A day that changed how I viewed my life and my life as an American. That filled me with terror, transformed into strength, a claiming of power, of resolve,…
Happy Anniversary My Love

Week in Pictures
Saturdays are known as "Hog Day" in these parts. Littlest sporting some new threads for the season. Don't strain your eyes - that green thing is his hands is in fact broccoli. Fake play broccoli. He thought we would need that for the game. Oh and a fake strawberry. And a pot to cook them…
WFMW – Laundry stain remover
I discovered The. Best. Stain remover for clothing. Not sure how I didn't stumble across this little gem of knowledge before, but alas, mama has apparently been stuck under a rock pile of laundry. Simple - equal parts hydrogen peroxide, water and baking soda. Or if its really bad (of unknown nastyness), straight peroxide. Go…
Enough about our crazy idea
Now that you officially know think we are crazy, let me give you a dose of normal. We really are a normal family, well with 2.5 times the children... Ok, so close to normal. We do vacations and day trips often. I love shopping. And nice furniture. And tanning, oh I love tanning and red…
