I believe that family time is important. Sometimes we are so busy and worn out that movie time is family time. It’s okay, but there’s no interaction during movie time – know what I mean? In the following video I show you the time when we purposely went outside together to get wet and cold [...]

A Fired Up Family Night
We were all sick and missed hanging out at our church’s fall bonfire. My husband told the kids that once everyone was feeling better we would have our own bonfire. It was something nice to look forward to!
In the middle of it all our kids weren’t so sure about it, but afterwards they wanted to [...]
Feeling The Pressure
Today I woke up feeling the pressure. The pressure to clean the house and be beautiful plus school the children and sneak a piece of chocolate cake while they’re not looking.

Whatever voice inflection he used they mimicked exactly. I don’t even know if he realized they were doing it, but I could hear it clearly [...]
A Rainy Day Tent
Yesterday I unwrapped a rainy day. Here’s the recipe:
Two sheets
A handful of clothespins
Four chairs and a couch
Three small children
Here’s what it made:
Throw in a side dish of books and coloring things and you’ll have a dish that entertains for a while.
That’s My Tuesday Unwrapped!
Unwrapping the World of Words
I was wracking my brain to think of something for Emily’s Tuesdays Unwrapped. Then I gave myself a mental kick because it’s not supposed to be something special. It’s supposed to be something ordinary that is good; something good that is overlooked because it is normal. As soon as I was done kicking myself I [...]
