The Week to Come

Posted in Thoughts

We enjoyed having Daddy home with us today even though Little Song Bird was under the weather. He had a lot of schoolwork to get done, but we still had about half the day to spend with him once he finished. She missed her gymnastics class tonight since she didn’t feel well. It turned out to be a good thing though as it gave her more Daddy/daughter time. Tomorrow, it’s back to our study of the Presidents. I hope to finally get to work on the Presidents lapbook, but we’ll have to see how things are going with Little Song…

Recipe of the Week — Breakfast Burritos

Posted in Homemaking

I’m going to try to start posting a recipe each week that we really enjoy. Notice I said try. lol! 😉 As some of you know, I’m really big into freezer cooking or plan ahead cooking. One of the things that I like to do it prepare breakfast meals ahead of time for D. It’s helps him out when he’s running slow in the morning or just wants something different. Here’s one of the recipes that I make in advance and put in the freezer for him. Breakfast Burritos12 eggs, beaten1 lb sausage, browned1/2 C chunky salsa2 C shredded cheese…

Hmm… what’s freecycle you ask? Freecycle is a great way to get rid of all that clutter and stuff you no longer use. It’s also a great way to get some amazing things free!

Now, you are “competing” to receive stuff just as others are competing for your stuff. Here’s another great thing — people come and pick up your stuff from your house; no more carting stuff to goodwill/the…

Truck Update

Posted in Thoughts

We’re jumping up and down. It appears, after much work and persistance, that D’s truck is back up and running. Yes, I get my Suburban back!!! He still has some tweaking to do, but at least it is now driveable. There are still projects to do, but those will be down the road (hopefully). We’re praying that there will be no more unexpected projects in the near future.

Time to Catch Up

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

We had a wonderful Christmas and really enjoyed our time in Michigan with the family. We ended up coming home a bit earlier than planned due to some truck issues that D was having. Unfortunately, things haven’t gotten better in that department, so we’re really relying on the Lord to take care of the finances with the upcoming closing on the house. It will also be nice to have his truck up and running, so I can get my Suburban back!!! The weather has been quite chilly, so D hasn’t been able to ride his motorcycle to work. Thankfully, most…
