I can’t believe our little niece is getting so big, she has really started smiling and I got a couple on camera. She is such a sweet little girl, and our kids continue to adore her. Every time we see her Cait goes nuts and it’s all we can do to keep her away from […]

Lot’s of fun, and so tasty! Check out my post on my homemaking blog.

We finally did it, we got most of our garden planted, some of the boxes we will wait to plant as we go so that they wont all be ready at the same time. But we got a little of everything planted, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, basil, cilantro, cauliflower, romaine, mixed salads, orange/red beets, kohlrabi, celery, […]

Do you love coffee? Have you ever tried Fidalgo Bay Coffee? I know those of you who have love it, and those of you who haven’t, will! It’s really the best coffee I’ve tasted yet, I think I’m kind of picky though and just a little bit spoiled. When your husband works at a coffee […]

Catching up with my videos. Here’s one of Cait taking some of her first steps, this video was taken a couple days after she first started to walk. She’s getting more confident each day and the older kids love to see her trying to walk, she gets lots of cheering and encouragement which always makes […]

For those of you who know about juicing, this juicer is amazing! The pulp is totally dry when it comes out and I’m getting a lot more juice for how many vegetables I am juicing. Tonight we made ice cream from frozen fruit, it was absolutely amazing! We are going to get years of use […]

Guenna loves the outdoors. It was funny tonight when Guenna saw this picture, she kept saying, “Eamon, worm?” I think she was confused because she was wearing Eamon’s coat. Then when she realized it was her she said, “Guenna, eat worm.” Just for a clarification, she did not eat the worm but from looking at […]

…or I guess I should say in our coop!

And here she is, isn’t she adorable! The black hen next to her, is her “mama chicken” although she didn’t come from one of Mama Chickens eggs because they are not fertile since we don’t have a rooster. My neighbor donated a few eggs and this sweet […]

This is the first time that I have been pregnant and too tired to care how far along I am. I usually have to force myself not to look at the calendar several times a week only to see that I am only two days closer to my due date than last time. I’ve usually […]

Last Sunday we were so honored to attend the Dedication of our sweet little niece, Eva Ruby Grace Vincent. It was a very nice dedication, and then we all went out for Mexican food afterward, so it doubled as a baby dedication and Mother’s Day dinner. Our kids are just loving having a new little […]

We are going to be having Jambalaya for dinner tonight. It’s a mild recipe (or at least I am going to make it mild, the boys don’t like too much spice), with chicken and sausage. The recipe sounded so good that I think it will turn out really well. Hopefully I will post my recipe […]

Well, it’s been awhile once again since I’ve written. Why you might ask? I’ve been busy being a MOTHER ;) Yes it’s true, this passel of children do keep me busy.
Tonight Chris let me slip away from my duties, leaving dirty dishes and cluttered floors, and crying children behind me. Imagine Cait’s sweet little […]

It’s been…let’s just say it’s been awhile, since I posted a recipe on my Homemaking blog. But tonight I was inspired by chocolate. And I thought I would share the love around. Here’s a teaser…

Tomorrow I hope to post my recipe for Pulled Pork Tacos, so stay tuned!

Can I hear some applause?!!! Cait has decided that NOW is a good time to walk. Yesterday she took her first steps, she is going to be 13 months old next week. Definitely my slowest to walk, I’m not complaining, trust me! All the other kids walked at 10 months 3 weeks, I know what […]
