Monday already!? It seems so! The weekend flew by for me. Friday evening, Justin and I did a little shopping while the kids were at the river with Nana and Pop. We picked them up later that night after spending some time at the campground with friends and family. Saturday, Justin got up early and built the kids a new water table. We spent most of the day at home. Later in the day, we had to make a trip to town and while there, we picked up some pallets to make the kids a water … [Read more...]
Hey y'all! I am back with a much needed weekly menu plan. It's been a while, huh? That past 10 days have been the hardest, most devastating days of my life. I'm finally beginning to accept that it really won't get easier and that I have to learn to work through this hurt. I think that I am also beginning to accept that Kolby isn't coming back. Yesterday was the first day that I haven't begged him to come back. I know that probably sounds crazy, but something in me thought that … [Read more...]
I keep this tucked into my heart and thought I would share it with you all. It's easy to look at other blogs and feel inadequate in comparison. It's important to remember that what you see is only part of the overall picture and it's usually the best part. I want to be a source of encouragement so I'm not going to share every complaint, how I snap at my children, or nag my husband. Do know that those things happen- more often than they should. What you see here is usually the BEST part … [Read more...]
It's 9:30PM as I type this and I can barely hold my eyes open. I've spent the majority of my weekend visiting with hubby's family (so happy they came to visit! so glad I can truthfully say that too! blessed.) and working on our dining set. We didn't have a thing planned, but I randomly decided to tackle our table & benches on Saturday. One coat of stain and a couple coats of poly-cryptic sealer and I'll be finished. I can't wait to share the final result! With that said, I'm … [Read more...]
Hey y'all! How was your weekend? Mine was super productive! I got a great start on my spring cleaning and I'm enjoy the feeling of a decluttered home. See more in my Spring Cleaning, Decluttering, and Simplifying post. I'm finding that when it comes to toys- less really IS more. This weekend was a sweet taste of spring. The kids were able to play outside for hours and hours, Hubby worked in the yards, and I purged the house. Come on, Spring! Breakfast -Waffles -Baked … [Read more...]
March? MARCH? Seriously? I cannot believe we are already in the third month of the year. Last week was the first week that I haven't meal planned all year. Losing Tucker put me in a funk, which explains the lack of posts. I published posts that were already in the works or that were easy to write, because my heart just wasn't in blogging last week. Our pantry and refrigerator were both bare too, so we threw together meals all week. Thankfully, we fixed that Saturday morning … [Read more...]
