My Favorite Website

If you've talked to me for longer than ten minutes in the past 5 months you've probably already heard the news, but if you haven't listen up!!

Go, right now, ok, right after you read this to www.moneysavingmom.com . Crystal who writes this blog is awesome!! And her website is full of soooo much great info you simply must visit. Due to this website my family has saved over $200 on diapers/shampoo/toothpaste/etc over the past six months, we receive several magazines for FREE, and today I just signed up for two free razors one for Ryan and one for myself. She also has so much information to help you make money from home. I'm telling you, if you have five extra minutes a day visit this website, you won't be sorry!!

I'm off to sleep now, but I just had to share!!

Another Baby????

Just when I think I'm starting to look good again a seven year old dashes my dreams! The neighbor girl just asked me if I am going to have another baby. I said, "no, do I look like it (said in my nicest tone I swear)" "ya, kinda she said, just a little."

Well bummer, now the decision do I go eat ice cream and try to drowned my sorrow, or pump out 50 crunches. I think I'll go for the crunches since I just finished off the Kashi cookie that came in the mail!

Ice Cream

Kid's say the funniest things!

s=sophie, m=me

S "I want God to give me a present."
M "What kind of present?"
S "I want a present to make people blind."
M, a bit scared at this moment, "make people blind?"
S "yeah, I want to make bad people blind, like if they say Jesus is Lord, but don't really believe it, I want to make them blind."
M, not sure what to say at this point, "oh"


The story went on for a bit, sadly we got interrupted before I was able to ask her what she hoped would come of them becoming blind. It is interesting to see the passion such small children can have for the Lord. What a cool thing really. Not that I approve in making all "bad" people blind, but who knows maybe she's onto something. Obviously it worked for Saul.

I'm Tired!!

I keep wanting to write to ya'll, but by the time I get here my brain is so tired and fuzzy I'm afraid I will just bore ya'll (do you like my y'all's?? I had to copy a dear friend who writes like Paula Dean. Go here to read more)to death with my sidetracked ramblings. I am hoping to start scoring some writing time from my sweet hubby, we'll see how that goes!

I just want to take a moment to say how awesome my friends are! I got an email from a dear friend from my days in WA state. She sent me the cutest song, click here to shed a little tear!! I have made friends here and there along my travels, and it is always interesting who you stay in touch with and who you don't. Usually it's those that track me down and stock me that I stay in touch with. I tend to be an all in the moment kind of person. I love you tons when we are together, even if we haven't seen each other in years, but I super suck at staying in touch with people who live any kind of distance away!

So, to all my distant friends whom I never call, email, or Heaven forbid WRITE to, please listen to the above song and know that I love you!!

And, to my new friends that I am enjoying very much, let's play until one of us moves, and then we'll have to talk at least once a year!!

Soaking in the Love tonight!!

The birth story is coming........soon, I promise!

Crazy Hair Day!!

It was crazy hair night at AWANA .
Sophie's hair almost made me want to go totally grey, I said almost! Elijah's made him look like one of the founding fathers!

FYI

I am working on another blog that will be launching in October. My new blog is a hopeful money maker that is taking a lot of research to get off the ground. In order to figure out a lot of the little "tricks" with blogging I will first be playing with them here. Sooo, it may look strange around here as things will be changing, new buttons attached, formats modified, and the such. I look forward to hearing from you about what you like/dislike about the looks and content of this blog.

Thanks!!

I finally took the plunge and tried something new!

My good friend Karen told me a few years ago how she has made money on Amazon by selling books. She sold her old text books and books that she would bid on at auctions. I have been compiling a box of books, but I just thought it would take too much time and so I hadn't done it. I hate all the little details that come with most Internet stuff!! Well, finally I decided to try it. I guess the growing list of "I want to buy...." plus the very empty wallet gave me the incentive I have been needing.

As of today I have sold 4 books in just over a week and have made over $60!! Of course I already have plans via my amazon wish list for the $60, but it's all for homeschooling supplies, so that's ok--- right???

I'm telling ya, if you have books taking up space at your house and you'd like a little cash, this is easy!! It only took me a few minutes to set everything up and then another 3-5 minutes to post each book. You can go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/seller/sell-your-stuff.html?ie=UTF8&ref=ya%5Fhp%5Faz%5F2 and get started right now!

Let me know if you have done this or if you start!!

Joy's one month old now!

I can't believe it's been a month already! I have a feeling that this little ones babyhood is going to fly by! The busier I am the faster time goes, and the Lord knows I am busy now!!

Now that Joy is getting a bit older we are working out a schedule for us all. She is a very good sleeper, for that I am extremely thankful! Last night she slept from about 6:30 until 6:30 this morning!! She woke up to nurse quickly a couple of times, but other than that this girl sleeps!!

Late Night Fussies!!

I am sitting at the computer too tired to hardly keep my eyes open, but I must do something to distract me from the cries! My baby has gotten a little too use to falling asleep while being bounced. And tonight, she is the crabbiest ever! I finally laid her in her crib thinking she must sleep soon. But no, she's not sleeping. She keeps settling down and then revving her engines right up again!

Finally my husband has picked her up. I tried to earlier but he thought we should give her another minute. Oh well, life with a baby. I might need a teensy bit of caffeine tomorrow!

I'm back!!

Our little Joy has come to stay with us and now I feel the need to blog once again. I was hoping that family would use this to see what was going on with us. They didn't use it like I hoped, but maybe now with the little one they will. So here I am, back in blogger land!!
