Homemaking Tips:::
I don't have any, other than making homemade dishwasher soap because I just made another batch this weekend.

Looking around the house:::
Ben is resting and watching tv in his room.  The girls are laying around in the living room.  I'm just being lazy.  The house smells amazing thanks to my fall candles.

From the camera:::




On my prayer list:::
My brother in law and his girlfriend as they finishing moving into their apartment.

What are you making for your fireplace?

Yea, I'm having a hard time staying on track for the Widow Of Larkspur Inn myself. I've been so busy that when I do have time to read and I start it, I get not really bored, but just to the point I think about other things I could be doing. Last night, a friend loaned me the Grimms complete book of fairy tales. I started it last night. Talk about morbid, but for some reason, I love it.

I don't know how to explain what I'm making for the fireplace. It's a bunch of different crocheted pieces connected together in fall colors. I'll be sure to take a picture when I'm done.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
