About Me

I am a stay at home mom with four awesome kids that absolutely fascinate me. I have a wonderful husband who is my best friend. A day just isn't right without him in it. There isn't anything I won't try. And there isn't enough time for all the projects on my list. Today is my favorite day and as Abe Lincoln said, "It isn't the years in your life that count, its the life in your years". I love that!

Little girls and fairy houses

Woo Hoo!  We had pancakes this morning on our new griddle. Sure beats the frying pan! (Thanks Sara!) We were able to get them all done before the bacon was even done. Usually the hubby is crabby by the time they’re done cause it took so long to make ‘em that he and everyone else [...]

Gotta start somewhere

This is insane.  I really want to blog.  But as I sit here Kheon is crying on my leg because I set him down (9 months).  I guess I’ll go clean the kitchen for a while with him on my hip.  Piper wants to sit down and weave potholders together so I might do [...]
