Our own little house in the big woods

Our own little house in the big woods

This is a picture of our house right before we moved into it in 2008.  It still looks like that on the outside. Josh is going to put up rock on the outside eventually.  The limestone quarry was delayed and then Josh’s business made him super busy and, well, the outside of the house just [...]

Just me and mommy and a vlog

I am writing this bright and early on Thursday morning.  Yesterday was a pretty great day.  The weather was amazing and both of my children took naps!  So I thought I would share it with you in a short vlog.  I had no idea until after watching it that the cat made her appearance.  That [...]

Cry it out....or not?

Traveling in Kansas

On Saturday Josh asked the kids and I to join him on a 45 minute road trip to pick up a check from a customer.  He decided that if he was going to be on the road that long, why not make a family trip out of it?  It was a blast! Well, the snow [...]

Tired, but can't complain!

Tired, but can’t complain!

I am wiped out.  I have worked so hard this past week, and so has Josh.  I have worked harder than I even realize and I know there are things I should do to improve (like make priorities, manage my time better) but at the end of the very stressful, exhausting and wonderful day I [...]

Here is why:
