I'm proudly married to my best friend, an active duty US Marine. I'm happily taking care of our homestead and our ever growing entourage of animals. I enjoy writing, reading, cooking, crafting, diy projects, and various outdoor activities. It's all about enjoying the journey of life with my family.

Washing Trucks

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #122 Munchkin has asked Daddy and I to come up with ways that she can earn some money around the house.  After walking by the rather dirty trucks, Daddy decided that he would pay her to wash them.  Her pay will be based upon the quality of her work and whether she decides to wash both the outside and clean the inside. Munchkin is doing a great job.  Yes, she’s occasionally getting a bit side-tracked, but she is a 12-year-old girl.  **grin**  Daddy was able to hobble downstairs and outside to check out her work which made…

Adventure Stories for Boys and Girls

Posted in Reviews

I was given the privilege of reviewing the e-book format of two of Amy Puetz’s latest books – adventure series for boys and girls.  Ten Great Adventures and Ten Girls from History are collections of 10 short stories geared towards boys and girls.  The stories, originally written by Kate Dickinson Sweetser, have been nicely edited by Amy.  The books are available in both print and e-book format.  The print books are normally $25, but from May 2-6, you can save $10 when you use the code May2011. Ten Great Adventures features fictional stories about historical characters such as Sir Francis…

New Every Morning

Project 365 – #121 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. ~Lamentations 3:22-26~

Hills and Valleys

Project 365 – #120 It’s funny how animals do crazy things when they are excited.  Our puppy will chase his tail or run around and do short little barks when he gets really excited.  It’s fun to see him get these little bursts of energy out of no where.  When we were out walking, we saw this dog in a backyard.  He kept jumping up to see us over the backyard wall.  It was way too funny.  I finally was able to snap a picture while he was jumping in the air.  This is one of those pictures that doesn’t…

Embracing Change

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #119 Although change is not really fun for me, I have chosen to embrace the changes going on in our lives right now.  I’m enjoying the short little walks that I get to take with D as part of his therapy.  I’m loving being able to see him during the day.  We’re happy to be able to spend this extra time with him. Yes, there is much to do to take care of him, but we have decided to focus on the positive rather than the negative.  D’s back surgery was a bit unique as they went…
