To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely,…

Awarded!
{The Lemonade Award} Joanne from Barely Domestic Mama gave me this blogging award (my first!). I feel loved. :) This award is given to blogs that show great attitude and/or gratitude. I am grateful to have been considered a blog with a good attitude (because some days I don’t have the best attitude). But I…
Introducing…..
My new recipe blog. I decided to put my recipes together in one place. It’s still a work in progress. I’ll be adding recipes regularly (or at least every Monday). The real work in this food blog? I designed it myself. Background image, header, button, and all. It was a little frustrating, but I proved…
The Traditional Santa Hat Picture
Every Christmas Season, I dress all of the kids in Santa hats and take their picture. Some years the pictures turn out better than others. But despite the picture quality, I love seeing the progression. 2008 2007 (gotta love the enthusiasm!) 20062005(the picture that started the tradition–look how little they are!) And a few random…
KitKat’s birthday (my baby’s 12!)
The last few days have been somewhat of a blur. :) I thought I’d go back and share a few pictures from her day. I made sure that CandyMan caught at least one picture of me with my big girl. KitKat picked out her birthday present on eBay, so it wasn’t a surprise, but she…
Merry Christmas!
Christmas morning in pictures:It was fun. It was over by 7:30 am. Everyone was happy. We are blessed.
Merry Christmas Eve…I mean, Happy Birthday, KitKat!
Me and KitKat 12 years ago today. :) Every time anyone says it’s Christmas Eve, KitKat corrects them and says, “No. It’s my BIRTHDAY.” I can’t believe my baby is 12 today. I wrote some of my thoughts about today up on Modern Molly Mormon. Go check it out! Now we’re off to our traditional…
CAUGHT!
I was nervous the other day when I noticed a few gnawed holes in my garbage can in the backyard. My first thought was that we had rats. Eww!! We had rats in the neighborhood one summer several years ago, and though we’ve long since gotten rid of them, I am still wary of poking…
CandyMan’s Peanut Butter Cookies
I get to take a week off from planning and cooking dinners as we get ready for Christmas. I took my friend, Karen’s advice and made extra meals all month long and stuck them in the freezer to use this week. Now I can sit back, wrap presents, and concentrate on my big ham dinner…
