Grace’s birthday falls around Memorial Day. It seems more times than not we are traveling for her birthday. It just makes sense to travel making use of a day that my husband already gets off work. The less days he takes each time the more places we can go right? But this year, the only… [continue reading]
Milk Life to the fullest!
Enjoy every moment! It’s something I am constantly working towards. How much more fun life is with a positive outlook and joy and humor along the way! But I have been looking for ways to spice things up a bit. I needed to get out of the routine with some fresh ideas. Enter the Milk… [continue reading]
Get your children excited about brushing!
I participated in this sponsored campaign on behalf of Firefly® and One2One Network. All opinions stated are my own. Brushing has never been this much fun, at least not for these three kiddos! I cannot tell you how excited they were to receive their new Firefly toothbrushes! With me and my two older daughters all… [continue reading]
Ready for some Baseball!
Oh how we love to go to the ball park! For years my husband was able to get magnificent seats through his employer. I mean we’re talking four rows up from the dugout awesome seats! I have to say that when he decided to seek employment elsewhere, that was the major drawback, as far I… [continue reading]
Fun in the mud!
What’s two weeks worth of snow, sleet, and rain in Texas add up to? Fun in the mud, of course! I looked out the window and this is the sight that met my eyes. “Jason did you say they could play in the mud?” I called out. He had not, but oh what fun they… [continue reading]

We arrived at our Tuesday group and from the first it was obvious things were different. The girl’s good friends had over… [continue reading]
A Trick on My Sister
Hi! I’m Joy, and I’m ten years old. This photo is when me and my sisters were little. I’m in the middle. Once when we were much younger, Grace, Faith and I asked to go out in the back yard. It had just rained so Mom said, “I’ll think about it.” Then Mom made up… [continue reading]
Homeschool Christmas Program 2014
One of the things I love about homeschooling is getting to send them to school once a week. Ha! I really do look forward to their one day a week “school.” This is our (gasp) seventh year to have our kids attend. I love that they get to be a part of classes like music,… [continue reading]
Fun with water
While we were gone the kids had fun too with my niece Skylar Ashley who flew in to stay with our children while we were on an Alaskan cruise. Here is the last of her adventures with my kiddos, well at least the ones that she’s shared anyway. All-in-all I think she and the kids… [continue reading]
Fun feeding the Chickens
We had so much fun at my brother’s house in northern Minnesota! Wow what beautiful June climate. It was gorgeous! My niece’s wedding was in the morning so after the lunch reception we all congregated at my brother’s house. We spent three days enjoying the scenery, weather, and company. My husband has been itching to… [continue reading]
