I've been missing from most online activities for the last 2 and 1/2 weeks. And it was all due to sickness. A couple of my kids have been sick for about 3 weeks. I've been sick for about a week and a half, and my husband and 2 more kids have been sick for the last week. We've had multiple visits to the doctor and multiple medicines. … [Continue]

They said they liked this recipe better than the usual … [Continue]

The next two graduated in 2013 with neither one planning on going to college. Now, they are both talking about going. Our 5th that graduated in September … [Continue]
Turns out, I didn't take any food pictures last week! In my defense, it was a really busy week. Multiple doctor visits, kid activities, driving kids to and from work, church activities, and my husbands birthday! The family did get together for his birthday, and I did make him a cake. I just didn't take any pictures! In a way, that's a … [Continue]
