Thanksgiving post coming soon

Letting you all know, I am still promising the Thanksgiving post. My daughters went to their Aunt's house for a sleep over and are still not home. They've been busy making ornaments and taking tons of pictures. Yep, my camera is with them, which has all my Thanksgiving pictures. So the Thanksgiving post will have to wait.

I can give a bit of a teaser though....

Nothing spectacular happened other than there being about 34 (I think) people in my In laws home. Yep, there was a tight squeeze! I loved it when we all held hands to say the Blessing. Donnie's 80 something year old grandma (mother of 8) was there and it was so awesome to see how many of us came from her seed! It really was wonderful! Not all of her children were there. Four of her biological children were there and the rest of us were the fruit of the fruit of her womb or the spouses of the fruit.

I love FAMILY!!

Oh, and my In laws were absolutely wonderful because they bought extra turkeys to give away as left overs. Donnie and I were so grateful since Donnie has quit his job......

Oh yeah, I haven't mention this........OOPS!! :)

YES, SINCE Donnie has quit his job, we are going to be pinching a few pennies for a short time. Yeah, Donnie is starting his new business.........He's already started it. I will fill you in with the details soon enough.

SO in the midst of no job, we are so excited to see what God will do. God is already moving and we are seeing His faithfulness already. The Lord has led us to this business and are so excited to see how it will grow. Yeah, I know you are wondering "What is this business?"

I will post some pictures soon enough and all about the new endeavor!!

Joyful Mother wasn't very Joyful....

A short little post to let you know I AM OK!!  I know the last post was rather hopeless than hopeful.   I am doing much better and I do feel like there has been a bit of a breakthrough in my attitude.  I have been letting every little thing on this journey bother me so very much.  It doesn't matter what it wass....it was bothering me.  I was even snappy to my mother-in-law the other day and it wasn't very pretty or Christ Like at all!!  :(    I am so very thankful my mom-in-law loves me unconditionally and embraces me even when I am ugly.  Seriously!  I was letting everything bother me!!  I had been making myself out to be a burden or a "visitor" rather than a daughter.  I wasn't allowing myself to be accepted rather I was making myself out to be a burden.  A burden that no one had put on me.  I did this to myself by listening to the enemy's lies.  After a good talk with my mom-in-law and with the Lord, ...

What Makes us Better Mothers? How do we View others?

What makes us better mothers? Do you homeschool or send your kids to school? Do you cloth diaper, use disposables or both? Do you breastfeed, bottle feed or both? Do you home birth, hospital birth or done both? Do you natural birth, use epidurals, or done both? Do you cook with whole foods or open up a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese? Do you home church or are a member of mega church? Do you wear a head covering, long skirts or have short hair and wear trendy clothes? Do you do attachment parenting or let your babies cry to sleep? Do you have 2 children or 20? Do you use birth control or not? Do you live on your own land/farm or do you live in a small apartment? Do you work or stay home with the kids? Do you immunize or never dare to inject your child? I am going to be very transparent and open with you all. I don't know if it's just hormones but what I have swimming in my heart and mind lately needs to come out. So this is the case for my posting this side of me. I know we can ...

Turn that TV off!!

Finding time to blog has been a little tough lately.  I don't know why.  Maybe it's because I feel I don't have anything good to share but then again that would be totally out of character for me because I am one of those women who can talk your ear off for hours and share with you my life story.  Truly!  So.....not having anything to say is just a big excuse.....ok so maybe it is finding the time.  As of late, I've been really, really striving to do the best I can in being a good steward over my time, children, and homemaking.  My heart's desire is to have an orderly home, orderly children, and a peaceful atmosphere. There are those days where I dream of being in a place where life is a bit simple....where I don't have modern technology like computers, tv, game systems trying to grab the attention of my children.  I don't know why this is so easy to "default" to when a "break" is needed or when I need some "alone time" or j...
