A while back I posted my homemade ketchup recipe. It’s delicious, it’s perfect, it’s wonderful…and we can no longer use it! When I first started making it, I only made it for Jed. I knew that vinegar was made from corn, but that was okay. This wasn’t for Zac. Later … Continue reading
Since its been so long since I’ve written, a little “catch up” post seems in order. Jed and Zac have both been in Occupational Therapy for their Sensory Processing Disorders for most of the year. The benefits have been amazing! My children are blooming, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. … Continue reading
Thanksgiving is upon us again, and I honestly have nothing new to share this year. At least Jed and I have picked up a small dose of the cooties Darrel has now, so it’s very possible Thanksgiving for our family won’t happen this Thursday. My parents would rather we not bring … Continue reading
I hate credit card debt. It makes my skin crawl. It makes me feel like I have a boulder sitting on my head. For a long time now, Darrel and I have been drowning in credit card debt. How could people who despise debt end up owing so much to … Continue reading
A few weeks ago, I went blueberry picking with my preschoolers. We had to find some organic, fresh blueberries for Zac’s planned blueberry trial, and since I couldn’t find organic blueberries last year at the Farmer’s Market, pick your own seemed the solution! Honestly, I wasn’t sure how it would … Continue reading
If you follow my Facebook page, you’ll know where I’ve been the last two weeks. On vacation! Sort of. June is pretty jam-packed for our family; my birthday, Jed’s birthday, Zac’s birthday, and Father’s Day all hit at once. We have a double birthday party for the boys in June … Continue reading
I wish food issues played no part in our decision to homeschool. I wish food issues were a non-issue in a multitude of places, but sadly, that is not so. When you have children with food allergies, considering their safety when outside of your care is a matter of life … Continue reading
One year ago this month I went back to work full time. Prior to that, I was essentially a full-time SAHM. With two years as a SAHM and one year as a working Mama, I can now see how each situation changes my parenting in general, and how each influences my ability … Continue reading
After the Ladies Prayer Retreat in March, I signed Jed up to play tee ball. He’s been doing so wonderfully with martial arts, but I wanted to see him participate in some sort of group activity. What says “all boy” more than hitting a ball with a bat, right? I … Continue reading
With all this updating going on, I’ve been mostly talking about Zac. Jed, however, has not been idle this whole time! He’s had lots of stuff going on in his life. Most of it, though, has to do with leaving the confines of our home, so it’s a good time … Continue reading
