I love me some coupons. But it seems like the coupons coming in the Sunday paper like in the good ol’ days has passed. Recently, I got started using a few online couponing apps. It’s the same idea as clipping from the paper, just more high tech. My favorite is Ibotta. I have been usingContinue reading “Couponing Apps: Ibotta”

Marry the Good Guy
This weekend, I was grumpy. Husband was not home much. Instead, he was busy helping kids at a local livestock jackpot. And as I tried to keep our two kids (15 months and 2 months) alive and hour house standing and food cooked, it was fairly easy for me to get annoyed that he wasContinue reading “Marry the Good Guy”
Little House Tour (Kids’ Room)
Today we will continue our tour of our little house. (If you missed the first post, click here.) We only have 3 bedrooms and since we live in a town with no hotels, keeping a guest room was important to me. So, we decided for now the kids would share a room. It’s small, butContinue reading “Little House Tour (Kids’ Room) “

I have other thingsContinue reading “10 in ’17”

Our biggest and most wonderful Surprise came in February when we learned that LL would be joining our little family. As my friend Wade said,Continue reading “Word for 2016: Surprise “
Christmas 2016
Christmas came and went in a whirlwind. BB was old enough to understand the idea of opening presents, so watching him do that was a riot. We decided to just put up a tree this year and skip the rest of the decorations. With two babies (way) under two, I just didn’t have the timeContinue reading “Christmas 2016”
One of the Good Guys
Five years ago today, we lost my Uncle David. This blog post turned into me giving my first eulogy. Please say a little prayer for my Aunt Midge today. Time passes, but the pain of this day doesn’t get much easier. “To live in hearts you leave behind is not to die.” My Uncle DavidContinue reading “One of the Good Guys”
Merry Christmas!

It feels like essential oils are everywhere and for a long time, I have been interested but overwhelmed when it came to this topic. There seem to be a million oils and three million recipes to mix them. Some you put on neat (had to google that) and some need a carrier oil. ThereContinue reading “Essential Oils…Getting Started”
