5 Weekly Goals – Homeschool Goals

This week my goals are mostly homeschool goals. I got lots of “paper and computer work done last week along with two full weeks of school. I am really proud of this since Elizabeth isn’t even 3 weeks old yet and we are already back to full school routine. One pleased momma here! This week […]

Household Notebook – Simplified Pantry Review

 Simplified Pantry sent me three of their e-books to review recently. I have been blessed to read Mystie’s  Simplified Dinners ($12.99) book, Simplified Dinners Gluten Free/Dairy Free ($12.99) book, and my personal favorite the Paperless Organization ($3.99) . I have loved making the switch from my original household notebook that I have used for years and written about often here […]

But if your child suffers from them you know how miserable they can be for the baby and for the mother as well. Sleepless nights. Lots of crying. Clingy baby. No […]

HELP!!

So, as the years have passed I have changed at how I looked at the set up of my home. I used to plan everything according to what was “normal” or “in style” at the time. But then as the years passed something more important drove me to restyle my home, move furniture around and […]
