yay! I did it :)

By -
I made it! I remembered I was going to do these weekly posts and I'm here :)

What I'm thinking: I'm thinking about how glad I am I got ALL the laundry done, folded and put away today. I think there were 8 basket fulls total.

What I'm reading: still reading Zvi, and reading through Luke 22 & 23 in my Bible time. Studying those two chapters a bit this week, for the sermons we hear on Sunday.

What I'm listening to: Ethan is telling Kara to fly on his feet - in the air. He wants to be strong enough to hold her up, but its not really working :)

What we're learning: at the fire station tour we learned a lot about the lives and hard work of firemen.
Kara learned that playing with finger nail polish usually resorts in a very big mess :(

What I'm watching: the kids and I have been watching Little House on the Prairie together.

What's cooking: nothing right now. But I made my menu and shopping list and I'm super excited about trying some new things!

What I'm buying: lots of groceries this weekend :)

What I'm thankful for: running water and electricity. After watching Little House, I'm reminded these things weren't always so readily available.

What tomorrow looks like: pretty much just school work and then I'll be baby sitting my friends 3 kids, while she moves into her new home!

What I'm praying: that God would increase my trust and faith in Him. That I would remember He's done so much for me and that I would reflect it in my day-to-day life.

What we did last weekend: Saturday was a lovely day. We spent the whole day at home as a family.
my brother-in-law David came over and helped Jason mow the lawns, we played in the playhouse and cleaned around the house.

What I'm looking forward to:  my parents arrive in just a few days!!

8 baskets of laundry! Monday is one of my laundry days and I am usually folding up until dinner time too. And I would love to see photos of the playhouse. Have a fun time with your family this week!

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 ...

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.  ...
