You see the picture of our sweet little daughter who has just figured out how to suck her thumb. At the same time we are attempting to help our oldest child learn to stop sucking his. Right now he is crying in his bed because we put a Band-Aid on his thumb to see if […]

I hold my little girls and just am so thankful that as they grow into young women, they will have one another as companions. And I’m also thankful that I will have their companionship, and as they grow into young women I strive to cherish this gift of friendship that will develop over the years. […]

I think I’m about half way there, but now all of my children are awake (they were all sleeping when I started writing it), and for some reason my concentration is not all that great when there are four children four and under running around me :) Today was my first day manning the roost […]

So tomorrow is the day, my due date. But really, do you think I will have the baby tomorrow? No. I don’t. I don’t know very many people who actually have their babies on their due dates, so I don’t plan on it either, but Friday wouldn’t be so bad or Saturday :) I have […]

Today I let the boys play outside because it was so nice out! It’s still kind of cold and their little hands get really cold after being out there for awhile but they love it and they do lots of “work” out there in the dirt and the rocks. […]

This is an area that I have yet to become very consistent in. I desire for my children to grow up in a home where the reading and understanding of God’s word is more important that pretty much everything, school, housework, or whatever other activities we allow them to be involved in, knowing and understanding […]

I needed to post something today but I also need to spend some time with my husband so I’ll make this short. Good day today, had fun going to our midwife appointment this morning in Everett, got my blood drawn for the glucose test, hopefully I wont have to retake it but I’ll find out […]

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted to my Homemaking blog but I’ve had some things rumbling around in my head for a couple days so I finally had a few extra minutes to post about-Healthy Toddler Meal Ideas-getting your kids to eat veggies. Hope you enjoy the ideas and I always welcome your great ideas […]

Well, if we had a potty seat like this maybe Eamon would spend his whole day on the potty! But we don’t, ours was the $10 version from Wal-Mart. Nevertheless, he feels pretty special about it and has taken ownership over his new seat and I’m hoping that the purchase will turn out to be […]

I finished uploading my Christmas cookie pictures. Believe it or not, the sugar cookies are from a package from Costco. I’ve been wanting to make cookies with the boys, actually Aidan has been begging me to make cookies and I’ve been putting it off. We had so much fun, it was fun showing them how […]

I received a comment on my last post about Guenna’s eye infection/doctor’s appointment that I thought I would respond to, and that might help you understand a little better where I am coming from. Here’s the comment from Amy:
I am not writing this to be mean spirited but, just to share an opinion. I […]

Wow, I don’t know if I would have the courage that Representative Ted Harvey had in speaking out against abortion. A very touching story.

I am going to be hosting an Early Pregnancy Test Co-op. Are you interested in having a few of these handy? They are 99% accurate and really easy to use. They are capable of detecting human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG, at levels of just 20mIU/ml/hCG. That means you can begin testing accurately just 6 to […]

My wife is a great mother! I am so blessed that God has given her to me to help raise our children. Not a day goes by where she does not give her all to the challenge of motherhood. As a man I am amazed at just how much energy she can put into mothering. […]

I gave birth to our first son on March 26, 2003 at our midwife’s birhting center in her home and it was wonderful not having to have him in a hospital.I gave birth to our second son on October 17, 2004 in our home and this was even better! I would cry if I […]
