Hitting the Nail
The first Saturday of the month I try to take my kids to the Home Depot children’s workshops. They love using the hammers, nails, screwdrivers, and screws while building the project of the month. I’m pretty sure their favorite part of the project is the painting...
But, I Want to Help…
So… our washing machine and dryer decided to stop working properly. The washing machine slowly stopped spinning out fully. As a result, our dryer was having to work overtime and slowly stopped working correctly too. For the last couple of days, I have been in denial...
Control-Top or Hidding the Problem
Confession time! I love my babies! But I do not love what pregnancy has done to my body. I just had baby #6 three months ago… and I reached the biggest I have ever been! Slowly the pounds are coming off, but that means I am now in the awkward in between stage… You...

Breaking Down those Boxes
“Mom, the recycling trash can is already full!” my son told me after bringing the trash cans around after Trash Pick Up. “What? The trash truck just came this morning!” “We had some boxes to put in there. Now it’s overfilling,” he explained. Well, we went outside to...
Babble Prayer
Anybody out there have a 2-year-old? I do! And she is quite the character. She’s so full of joy and happiness, cute-as-can-be… one minute… then the next she is the boss-demanding that her older sisters give her their toys. So, as you can imagine, this doesn’t go...
