Special Request…

Hey there!

We have a special request for our followers… does anyone know how we could get in contact with Ms. Rachel from YouTube?

We have a special friend who has been going through a tough battle with AML and he recently had a bone marrow transplant. This has been an extremely challenging time for him and his family and it would mean the world to them if they could connect with Ms. Rachel.

Thank you all and God Bless!

A Secret Garden in the Making

Hey guys!

How are you doing? I’m hoping all is well and that you have been enjoying your summer.

We’ve been working really hard around the house and the property even before we knew that we’d be having some very special celebrations happening here. One of the areas that we started on was what the kids are calling ‘The Secret Garden’… I guess it’s not really a secret now because I’m telling everyone about it but I won’t tell them that. It’s also not really ‘hidden’ yet but as the plants fill in it will be a bit more of a secret spot.

Life Update – June 2024

Hey everyone!

We’ve been more than a bit busy around here and I just haven’t had a chance to sit down and write about anything… my brain has been in overdrive and my thoughts have been quite a mess but this morning we did have a small window of peace and quiet so I thought I’d sit down and give a little update.

Where oh where to start?

Well, the kids are all doing well. We have had a few doctor appointments but all has been well. We did get one of the kiddos started on a low dose of ADHD medication and what a difference we have seen this past week! It has definitely helped with the moodiness and frequent outbursts… hopefully, she can keep up the progress and not need anything stronger but we’ll deal with it one day at a time.

Get rid of the socks… not just the stinky ones!

Another quick tip for helping to control that Laundry Monster and keep things neat and tidy in the kids’ rooms is to get rid of the socks! I’m not talking about just the stinky ones, the mismatched ones, or the ones that have seen better days and I’m not saying to get rid of all of them.

You may want to consider getting rid of some of them though as it has been found that some people will tend to procrastinate on doing their laundry until they are out of socks and/or undies. If you only have a set amount of socks then you would, in theory, need to wash clothes more often. If you have more socks than clothes then you may, in theory, also buy more outfits which results in more clothes that have to be dealt with.

Eclipse Gardening 2024 – Picture Overload!!!

We had a great time watching the Solar Eclipse even though we didn’t experience totality. The kiddos did their Morning Circle Routine and then watched a couple of lessons about the eclipse. Then they had a quick lunch as they were so excited to get out and watch for the eclipse.
