Thankfulness

Tonight is one of those nights where I look around the house and think, “Things are good.” I don’t mind the dirty clothes that Chris leaves on the living room floor.  Such a strange habit.  I don’t mind the toys that aren’t entirely put away.  Yes, there are a crumbs on the tablecloth.  I can… Read More Thankfulness

The Piano

Happy Valentine’s Day! As a Valentine’s gift to you, let me introduce you to our new-to-us (but decidedly not new) piano!

Goals for the Week: December 9th – 14th

I like the blog “Money Saving Mom”.  One of the things that she does is create a list of weekly goals, then look back at the previous week’s goals and see how she’s done.  I’m going to start something similar.  It’s nice to be able to look back and cross things off of your list,… Read More Goals for the Week: December 9th – 14th
