These pic’s were taking a few days before she gave birth.. She was getting so miserable, with her belly dragging on the ground.
Sam made up a chart for the children to guess how many pups she [...]

Just in case anyone has wondered where I’ve been this past month… It’s baseball season.  We travel sometimes over an hour to the ‘away’ games.  Last week, both games were out of town.  Thankfully, this week – we are home for both games.. woohoo!  
We have been busy finishing up homeschool for summer break..  Also, the local [...]

This week has been sunny and warm for a nice change   With this nice change in the weather, we were able to get our garden tilled.  The lady (who owns the tractor/tiller) came by Friday morning and whipped through our garden.  Friday afternoon.. my husband took me to one of the local family [...]

Today my 4th child turned 9.  I am always amazed about how time flies!!  As I was thinking about him turning 9, I was remembering back to his birth.  How thankful I was to have been given another chance to have a baby.  He was and still is a true blessing – All my children are [...]

My youngest daughter, Eliorah, has found a new hobby.  She LOVES to pick flowers.  She follows me (and anyone else) outside and instantly starts picking flowers.  She has learned many of the names and will bring us a large variety in her bouquets.  We recently went on a picnic with some of our friends… she [...]

Yesterday (Friday) my youngest daughter and myself attended an annual homeschooling mother daughter breakfast.  I always look forward to this event.  There is so  much inspiration.. When you leave, you feel newly motivated.  Each year, the organizer invites a speaker.. usually a mother who has been through all the up’s and down’s of homeschooling.. someone [...]

What a treat!  My family can’t get enough homemade pizza.  The pizza dough is made from scratch.  I make the pizza sauce out of tomatoes I canned from our garden.  The cheese is homemade goat milk mozzerella and the meat is home processed venison.  You can’t get more from scratch than that!
I thought I would [...]
