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!

With silver bells and cockle shells...

It has truly been a busy spring! We went from a barren back yard composed of nothing but sand and some persistent weeds to about 30  12 inch raised beds.

We hauled 33 yards of soil with a wheel barrow.

It was quite a sight when all the beds were filled

And even more amazing when those [...]

Garage sale!

We’ve only been in our house for a few years but you couldn’t even walk in half of our basement.  I don’t know how that happens.  Every time we move things are all nice and organized.  Maybe the problem was the “everything” that was organized was just a bunch of stuff we didn’t need and [...]
