-As much as I enjoyed the parties we had this month, glad things have settled down. Parties on back-to-back weekends may not have been the best idea. Very glad for some normalcy and down time. Well, sort of down time. There are always things to do. :) -Maple syrup season is in full swing. We have already canned just under 4 gallons. Last week we didn't boil at all. Too cold for the sap to flow. This week...40s during the day, 20s at night. Perfect for the season. Pretty much means we will be … [Read more...]
Random Ramblings…Updates from Life Here
-Maple syrup season is upon us. Matt spend the weekend getting our sap "house" created. It is our Ez-Up canopy from lumberjack season, lumber, and a few tarps. May look a bit like redneck engineering but it works quite well. Unfortunately, as Matt is in and out of the house a lot and still setting things up, I can't find my kitchen table under all the stuff. :)-We did boil a little bit of sap down in the house. We now have about 1/4 cup of syrup. There is just something about making your own. … [Read more...]
Words Have Power
Words have power. They can help, they can hurt, the can entertain, they can destroy. Online, in print, in speech. Words have so much power. Words tend to affect me greatly. I feel like people mean what they say. Do you have any idea how many blog posts never get published? I realize that words have power and I don't want to offend or hurt someone because of my strong opinions. So I don't publish it, even if I think it is fine. I have been, presently and in the past, been so, so hurt, … [Read more...]

I wonder how they manage to work and still get everything done around the house. I don't get even half of what I want to accomplish done.There are always regular chores to be done then special projects and even fun projects to do.

2013: Determination
I belong to a wonderful message board for Christian moms. I'd share the website but it is my personal place to go and I don't want to share it. :)Some of the ladies choose a word each new year to live that year.Some of them choose things like peace and glorify and intentional. Some of them choose it for their Christian walk, some choose it for just how they want to live their life that year, some for other reasons.I don't normally do it. Just not my thing. I changed my mind this year.My word to … [Read more...]
Snow Storms and Baby Snuggles
It's one of those mornings that I just want to sit and snuggle and play with my baby. It's snowing. We did all most our grocery shopping yesterday and have no place to go today. Weatherman said 3-6" by Wednesday but we already have about 5" and it is still coming down. It has been a rough week to be a mommy. Abby went from teething to a cold then I got the cold then she got a fever. She is changing her napping schedule and has had two nights in a row where she woke up for a "snack" (nursing) … [Read more...]
