After I posted earlier today about making costumes and reminding you to check at your local thrift stores, I decided to go see what my Goodwill store had available this year. I really hadn’t thought about what I wanted the kids to dress up as this year, so I asked little Turkey. He promptly replied “I want to be a butterfly”. Um yeah, I don’t think that would go over very well with his daddy. So we began to sort {Read More}

Our little Turkey is 3 and a half and is full of mischief! I try to keep a list of the funny things he says just to brighten your day every once in a while. Please keep us in your prayers next week as he goes back under anesthesia to have his eyes checked again. It’s a routine procedure, but anesthesia is still risky with kids this little. (Eventually I’ll get our story of diagnosing an infant with congenital glaucoma {Read More}

Most of you all know that I am a WAHM to 2 kiddos. Our son (referred to as Turkey on my site) is 3 and a half and our daughter (referred to as Little One) is 1. We moved to TX when she was just 6 weeks old. Starting out in a new state, with no family, in an apt with two kiddos and a travelling husband made life very hard. I was overwhelmed by the lack of schedules and {Read More}

Oh what a mess he’s becoming at 3 and a half! “That’s my ‘Hey Vern’ face” His Daddy is a big Jim Varney fan, so he’s taught little Turkey how to say “Hey Vern, know what I mean?” and make the face. Turkey is very proud of his ‘Hey Vern’ face. Me: “Time to clean up, you can start by picking up your puzzle” Turkey: “You can start by picking up everything else“ (Nice try buddy!)“We have to get the {Read More}

photo © 2010 tharealMrGreen | more info (via: Wylio) Sesame Street has launched a new program to educate 3-5 yr olds about finances. You can watch finance video clips on the Sesame Street website.

He learned that he needed to work and save his money to earn {Read More}

Little One is 1 now, which means we’ve been Texans for almost a year- hard to imagine! Here are a few pictures from her birthday party. We just had an intimate party with grandparents and a couple of friends. But boy did she get spoiled! MeMee’s favorite 1st birthday gift for her grandkids is a rocking chair! She thinks this baby doll is really swell. Unfortunately so does her big brother. She got the Drop and Roll Dinosaur, Roll Around {Read More}

At first I wasn’t sure which to say, but I feel pretty confident that they both are an accurate reflection of how I feel at this moment, having just looked at this comparison chart., that Danielle shared with me. I have a long way to go, but what a great way to remind us to be Godly mothers and not just mothers. Since my post yesterday about not being able to do all I felt I should do and finally {Read More}

This post may not be anything new to you, but for me it’s been a great awakening and a huge step forward in my peace at home. I’m hoping this post will be an encouragement to other moms who feel they have to “do it all” I will be the first person to tell you that I am not a housekeeper. I’m not much of a cook either for that matter. But that is a story for another post. {Read More}

Saturday afternoon I took Turkey outside and we planted zucchini, sunflowers, watermelons and carrots. I’m hoping to plant another round mid April and mid May to have continuous produce for the summer. I decided to use containers so I could bring them inside just in case of a late freeze. (I know this is Texas, but being our first year here I’d rather err on the side of caution). I have been eyeing a small hill (ok small roll) on {Read More}

“There’s Carolion Mom!” (looking at a picture of an old friend’s daughter named Caroline) “I have freckles” (looking at the bumps on either side of his chest) Me: “Do you want some more polynesian sauce for your chicken nuggets?” Turkey: “I like Paula Deen’ses sauce Mama!” (yes Deen’ses) Oh, that boy and his cooking! Me: “Where are your glasses, bud?” Turkey: “I don’t have no idea, Mama.“ Me: “Are you kidding me?” Turkey: “No, I’m just being facetious“ He ate {Read More}
