waiting for DH to come to her rescue

Yet again I find myself in this predicament. Take one easily distracted mom, put too many things on her plate at once, throw in a good helping of trying to get somewhere quickly and a dash of kids arguing in the background. Know what you get? A Suburban catching the side of […]

[WFMW] web photo album software

I have spent the better part of the last week looking at different ways to do a web gallery for our business website. I am a bigger changer-upper, so I needed something that would easily let me rearrange and reorganize. I love having lots of options. Why, yes, I do have control […]

Off to the chuckwagon races

DH and I are off on our yearly “no kids” romantic getaway. To the National Championship Chuckwagon Races in Clinton Arkasas. NO kidding. I really do love going. Except that I will be super sore by Friday. I don’t ride much and I will probably be in the saddle at least 6 hours a day. […]

breaking through

I am totally having a breakthrough with this umbrella thing. It’s such a simple thing.
Stay under God’s umbrella.
But lifechanging none the less.
As I sat in church this morning, I was overwhelmed with what God is doing for me. I am seeing some amazing things that I may not have even noticed […]

potty talking with God

I must admit I think my title is pretty clever. I’m afraid that the end of the cleverness from me in this post though. It’s really a pretty straightforward post from here on out.
(slight pause while I search for just the right picture I want to put here……still undecided, I’ll come back to […]

I definately need to keep a Bible […]

hiding from her to-do list

Seems like I’ve spent the day putting out little task fires. So now I’m a little scared to look at what I should have been doing today.
I am strong. I am brave. Gosh darn it, people like me….

[WFMW] cleaning burned on pots & pans

I’m sure most of you will find no use for this tip. I am quite positive that I am the only one who gets distracted and burns food on a regular basis.
Cheap pans or expensive, I still manage to get gunk burned on the bottom. (It’s quite a talent actually)
I have some pretty […]

craving all things European

Surely I will live in Europe one day. Or at least spend extended periods of time there. One of my favorite blogs is Sarah’s Daughter. I absolutley adore reading about the little everyday bits of her life. If Bloglines shows me she has a new entry, I read it first before anything […]

watching Dirty Jobs

If you’re watching it right now, it’s the one about charcoal. I just have to say that the charcoal plant is in my neck of the woods. I went to school with the Kurt (the guy giving Mike Rowe a hard time). It completely normal to see guys covered in black soot […]
