Garden Update #6

We've had a lot of rain and sunshine this past week, so the garden has been happy about that and putting on blooms and veggies. The only problem is when I went out there yesterday, some cauliflower was wilting a bit and so were the squash plants. I think it was just a little too …

Garden Update #5

I had good intentions on posting an update last week, but then I got so busy I never got around to it. This week isn't looking any less busy--more so, actually--so I am going to go ahead and post a quick one while I've got a few minutes. First, let's just take a second and …

Gone Fishing

Earlier this week we went to a fishing pond near where we live. Cord has been itching to go ever since it warmed up but has had to wait for finals to be done. So, we finally got to go on Monday and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. It was cool in the …

Garden Update #4

I'm pretty sure it's high time for a little update on the garden. We had lots of rain in April and the past few days have been nice and sunny, so there has been a lot of growth in the garden! Here's a picture of the front of the garden, with the raised bed and …

If My Daughter Has a C-Section Someday

My two year-old has just recently been potty-trained, and although she does really well most of the time, we’re still working out the kinks here and there, when she gets distracted or nervous. She sometimes gets afraid all of a sudden and I have to reassure her that it isn’t scary. One day recently was …

Q&A Post: Homemaker Tag

A sweet friend of mine who blogs over at A Boy Mom recently tagged me in a "homemaker tag" post where tagged stay-at-home mom bloggers answer twenty questions and then tag two more friends when they're done (read her answers here). Stasia tagged me and I thought it sounded like fun, so here we go! …

DIY Non-Toxic Toy Cleaner

My husband would disagree, but I'm not that germaphobic. I do tend to wash my hands a lot and try to keep Eden from putting her hands all over everything when we're in public, but I know that being exposed to germs is a lot of times what helps build our immune systems. But I …

A Laundry Prayer

I didn't expect to go out to the clothes line this morning and come back with a fresh load of thoughts. But as I gathered and hung each very small article of clothing, I got to thinking. All those tiny pieces of laundry belonging to a little girl I love dearly? Those are continuous reminders …

Garden Update #3

Time for update number three. I didn't get this post up last week like I'd planned, but better late than never, I guess? We had really pretty weather for like a minute, and then it got freezing on us again. And yesterday it was nice and part of this week is supposed to be nice, …

Easter Weekend Shenanigans

Last week Cord had Spring break, and we had the best weather. We did yard work, ran errands together, and Friday we had a long overdue date--which included thrifting and coffee (and uninterrupted conversations), our favorite kind of date. On Saturday we attended a local egg drop (it's exactly what it sounds like--an egg drop--where …
