Random thoughts from a mom whose blessings are overflowing.
I hope you all had a great week. I actually took at least one picture each day this past week. Maybe I am finally back on track. Here’s a look at our week, in pictures. Monday Last week I shared a tutorial for how to make cloth wipes and this was one of the pictures I shared. [...]
When I first started cloth diapering I made some homemade baby wipes by using pinking shears to cut squares out of a flannel receiving blanket. I still have those wipes, but they are a little on the thin side. My favorite wipes are the ones I have made out of two layers of flannel using [...]
Yesterday, on my other blog, I finished my series on Baby Learning. I wanted to share a quote from that post along with a picture of Janna on her first day and on her birthday. By keeping your baby close, providing appropriate play things, and interacting with her through talking, singing, snuggling, etc. you will [...]
I love using my crockpot to cook certain cuts of meat. They end up so moist and tender. Often times I will make round steak with gravy or swiss steak in my crockpot. However, I sometimes just put salt and pepper on the meat, add a small amount of water, switch the crockpot on low, [...]

When my mom was a baby I believe she was started on cereal right away. When I was a baby my mom started me on solid foods around 8 weeks of age. When my older children were babies the recommendation was that babies be at least 4 months of age. Now the recommendation is to [...]
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. With Janna’s birthday and Easter, we had a very full weekend. Blogging took a back seat to family and celebrating our risen Saviour, so I am just now sharing pictures from last week. Monday Joseph loves playing with beans and play dough, and of course Janna had [...]
My husband and oldest son love to eat eggs either scrambled or fried. I had a surplus of eggs a few weeks ago and decided to try something new to us, individual scrambled egg “muffins”. I am sure I am not the first person to try this, but I did make up the recipe on [...]
