So, my goal for this year has been simplifying my life and my home. This is a hard one. The other night as my kids were in bed, I came out from reading to them, looked around, and wanted to cry. There were papers ALL over the place. I have 2 children in school. TheContinue reading “Paper Clutter”

A few years ago a group of citizens gathered together looking to organize a Farmer’s Market. My husband and I had participated in one in the last town we lived in and were interested in possibly being a part of this one. We went to one of the early meetings and listened to what theyContinue reading “Killing Capitalism”

After reading a couple of other blogs and looking at my life, I decided I wanted a new schedule. I am really leaning towards homeschooling my kids next year and I need something that will work for our family. Plus, I’ve noticed that my kids, and truthfully myself, do better with some kind of routine.Continue reading “New Schedule”

So why do I think it’s so important to stay at home with my kids? Well, I think many of the problems facing us today are because of the breakdown of the family. Home is supposed to be a safe place where you have people who love you. It should be stable where the rulesContinue reading “Why Staying Home is Important to Me”

When I got married both my husband and I knew that once children came along I would be staying home. We both felt that our children would benefit more from having me home than from any extra income that I might bring in. So, as the time got closer to when I due with myContinue reading “My Decision To Be a Stay-At-Home Mom”

With the spring fever I’ve been having, but being able to get outside, I’ve taken to doing some cleaning inside. My father-in-law watched my younger two while the older two were at school and I went through a bunch of their toys and stuffed animals. I took out 2 garbage sacks of stuffed animals, 1Continue reading “Out With The Old”

I miss the warmer days of spring, summer and fall. Today I really want to go outside. I want to feel sunshine on my face and smell the air perfumed with the scents of grass, flowers, and sun. Alas, it is cloudy and dreary. There is snow on most of the ground, and those areasContinue reading “Sunshine, Where Are You?”

I have a cold. It’s really the first one I’ve gotten this year. As soon as I would hear about something going around, or as soon as I saw my kids even start to sniffle, I got out the Airborn and started taking it. This cold snuck up on me, though. That is why IContinue reading “Random”
