UPDATE: Monkey is doing better, he’s not rasping through every breath anymore. However Bubba (my 3 year old) just woke up this morning with a nasty cough…..Hmm, wonder what it could be? I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that last night (during our 2hour trip to Urgent Care) I [...]

I love to recycle old clothes…..it just makes me feel like a good steward of my money. So when Monkey started outgrowing clothing, I saved the ones that weren’t quite up to resale standards, and put them in my sewing stash.

So for most of my adult-life [...]

I have been out to eat way too many times since Monkey was born.
It’s bad.
The lady at McDonnald’s knows my kids names.
That’s not good at all.
But between Homeschooling, Sports, Awana’s, the Baby and just life in general I just can’t find the time to cook dinner.

Oh my goodness!
Fall is almost here
I have yet to start making the kiddo’s their Winter hats!
I’ve got the inspiration
I’ve got the yarn:

You are all amazing Cookie Cooks.
And you we’re all so sweet to come to my rescue!
You [...]
