Ree of Confessions of a Pioneer Woman and to a lesser extent her husband Marlboro Man. I have my own cowboy husband but I do totally enjoy the way she is OVERWHELMINGLY in love with her man. I started looking at my man and my family through the PW lens. And guess […]

Really. There are times when I think “I really am an odd duck”
Yesterday we stopped back by the shop after going to the arena to watch DH not rope on his mule (who’s hock was sore) and not really rope off the boy’s mule either. I did watch both of the littles cover […]

WOO WEE!! The fun the word “budget” brings to mind. I can hear you all now “oh please whimsy, please let us in on the fun”
Well since you asked and all, I will share parts of it.
I don’t know if you all know this, but, if you ask God […]

The Whimsy family is going through a trial. A trial that appears to be inconsistent with the dream and vision that God has given our family.
I thought we had already come through the worst of the trials. We had been enjoying a bit of comfort. I could see God’s plan coming to […]

Again no real blog post, just a copy of a comment I left on someone else’s.
Kerflop (who I may have mentioned I love in a not creepy kinda way) is struggling with balancing the WAH with M in WAHM. I am much too familiar with this juggling act. Yesterday was an especially bad […]

You know what I am most disliking about it right now? It’s really really hard […]

KS Milkmaid’s blog is “down”. Thankfully, I was able to read her last few posts on bloglines. If you don’t know Christina, she is one amazing woman. She’s dealing with the aftermath of bringing their family’s fight against domestic violence to light.
I can’t really begin to know what she’s dealing with, but […]

And wishing I could come up with a catchier title. Whatever.
Sorry, this is a little hard to read with the —- but I felt odd having their names out there. Yeah, I know I’ve done it before, but not today oK?

HT: Like Merchant Ships
I hadn’t heard about Oregon Gov. Theodore R. Kulongoski’s decision to live on $3 a day in grocery money for a week until Meredith brought it to my attention.
It brought tears to my eyes. If you’ve never tried it, I don’t think you can know just how hard […]
