I posted a little last week about our family’s journey towards eating real food. I’m not sure I mentioned, though, what a difference eating real makes in the way all of us feel, and that makes a difference in the way we all behave. The difference really stands out to me when we stumble back…
Have you sewn a dress yet?
Have you sewn a dress for Dress a Girl with Hopeful Threads yet? You still have 5 1/2 days to add a dress to the over 100 already sewn and donated! Kristy has set a goal of 200 dresses total, and I know she’s going to far surpass that! I took one hour out of…
Real Muffins Make For Really Great Mornings
In spite of the name Fishsticks, which might lead you to believe that I feed my family . . . um . . . fishsticks, we actually eat virtually no processed food in our home at all. About four years ago, we started on a journey towards eating a healthy, natural, “real food” diet. Along…
Texas Babies in the Texas Bluebonnets 52 (Family) Projects in 2012: #8, 9 & 10
I was up until midnight the night before Easter finishing up Easter outfits for Charlie, Jamie and Katie. (Seersucker, again, this year! It’s such a classic spring fabric. I love it!) I was so excited to get pictures of the little ones all together the next day. Sadly, though, storms rolled in during the Easter…

January, February and March are full of birthdays in this house! Today is our oldest son’s 19th birthday, and we spent the whole day celebrating. In the picture above, Sean and Samantha are attempting to keep Charlie from blowing out Sean’s candles for him . . . again! We started out the day with a…
Musings on Being a WAHM and Birthday Wishes
I was a Work-Out-of-Home-Mom for years, so I appreciate more than I think I can express how much I enjoy the advantages of being a Work-at-Home-Mom. Some days are really hard, though. If you keep up with my Facebook or my 365, you probably already know that our whole family has been taken out by…
Samantha’s Room Re-do 52 (Family) Projects in 2012: #5, 6 & 7
Samantha’s room was badly in need of some updating. The last time we decorated, she was 9, and while this room is cute at 9, it’s not so hot when you’re 14! A birthday room re-do was definitely in order! The wall mural had to go, but we left the paint color so that the…

Still Alive & Kickin’
I’m still here! See! Here’s a picture to prove it. Although, I swear I don’t have that many chins in real life! I think I have some kind of rare (or maybe not-so-rare) blog/email-induced attention disorder. It seems that whenever I sit down to type a blog post or answer emails, I’m quickly distracted by…
