Tuesday's Thoughts

By -
What I'm thinking: That even though my parents are sick of cold, rainy weather, I'm hoping we get to enjoy some soon! 
What I'm reading: This week it was my Bible and How To Behave So Your Child Will Also (my friend Gina gave us this book and its been the BEST parenting book we've ever read!) 

What I'm listening to: Ethan is asking if he can have cookies for breakfast :) 

What we're learning: that having family come visit is SOOOO much fun! And Ethan and Rachel have been learning to look out for the interest of each other, before themselves. 

What I'm watching: Last night we sat and watched a couple episodes of Lost and my parents had never seen it. I think we sucked them in :) 

What's cooking: Made an Italian stew last night and tonight we're having grilled salmon. 

What I'm buying: Nadda. 

What I'm wearing: pj's :) 

What I'm thankful for: my parents. 

What I'm creating: more laundry needs to be done. Otherwise, nothing is being created this week. 

What I'm praying: this week its been very basic. I've been feeling my need for more of God's grace these days. So I've been praying a lot about patience, being quick to listen & slow to speak. Been dealing with some issues we're having with Ethan. 

What I'm planning: The rest of our fun week with my parents!!!! 

What I'm looking forward to: the rest of the week :) (and I'm also excited about March - we have a few fun things going on)

So glad you've been enjoying that book. It's so basic, but yet, we so easily miss the basics when we get caught up in the moment of child raising. :-)

Thanks, Gina! My Mom took it yesterday in Seattle.

The book is amazing! Jason and I love it and we're finding that its basic, simple, every day practicalness has been just what we needed. Thank you so much!

Me too!! Love love the new picture!!!

We got sucked into LOST by family too and we LOVE it! Totally binged on it this past weekend while William was sick and we're finally caught up to season 6. It's so killer to have to WAIT a WHOLE week between shows!! :)

Thanks Jess!

we love the show too. Its become my all time favorite!
I'm having a rough time watching season 6 one episode a week, but I know we'll re-watch them once they're on DVD :)

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be sure to l

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.
