It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone and Christmas is on the way. This is the first opportunity I’ve had since last week to sit down and post. Thanksgiving was wonderful, we ate, played, and had a great time together as a family. Hubby was off all week, so we took advantage of the [...]

It’s so hard to believe that Thanksgiving is almost here! I was going to blog about how much my feet hurt from Christmas shopping today, but I decided to count my blessings instead. What a relief, huh?
Let’s see, where to begin? I am thankful for so many things, I guess the best thing to do [...]

This morning I woke up at 4:45 am with a serious sinus headache. I got up to take something for it and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I decided to wake the dog up and take her out. The sky was gorgeous, it was so clear and the stars were very visible. While I was [...]

Cupcake had her third birthday party yesterday. It’s so hard to believe that she will be three years old tomorrow, it seems like she was just born yesterday. For that matter, it seems like her mommy should just be turning three. Where did the time go, and how come I’m still so young? Ha! Just kidding!
Anyway, [...]

Yesterday was our seventh anniversary with our Drama Queen. Just seven short years ago she came to us through foster care. She was our first foster child, (other than a weekend respite care), and as soon as I saw her I was smitten. This adorable little girl with the dutch boy haircut and her four front teeth [...]

What could be better than bright pink toenails? Our daughter dropped off Cupcake and Blue Eyes yesterday afternoon so they could spend some time with Nana and Auntie Drama Queen ,while she volunteered at the Crisis Pregnancy Center. Whenever Cupcake comes to Nana and Papa’s she wants her toenails painted. Yesterday, she chose bright pink. She couldn’t wait to [...]

Yesterday was such a perfect day! We got off to a great start, with Drama Queen and I rising early and making pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. They turned out great and we enjoyed every bite! We got an early start on our schooling and got so much accomplished that I was amazed. I wish every day would go [...]

Hubby was off today for Veteran’s Day, and we had scheduled today off from homeschool to be with him, so we decided to get a jump start on our Christmas shopping. (I don’t think we’ve ever started this early!) We were walking down the mall when we spotted Santa’s workshop. Surely they’re just getting ready for [...]

Well, finally I’m blogging! Just in case you’re wondering I chose my blog’s name from a saying my Hubby’s maternal grandmother always used to say, “What I don’t know could fill books”. That’s exactly how I feel about blogging, and really most technical things in general. Small children are more technologically (is that a word?) advanced [...]
