If I have a few minutes to myself, I will::::

In the garden::::
Nothing new except one of my succulents is blooming really beautifully.  

Favorite photo from the camera::::
I've been working so hard on my kitchen.  I'm in love with my baker's rack that my husband got me for my birthday.



Homemaking Tip::::
This might be silly and something a lot of people do already, but when you buy clothes at the store, take the price tags off of them as soon as you get home.  Up until recently I had a bad habit of just folding them and putting them away, then when we'd put them on we'd take the tags off and tagging barbs and tags would be left all over our house.

Visiting with Blog friends (blog you want to share, blog post that caught your eye)::::
I'm still back visiting where I've come from. I've been reading my blog from the beginning.  Also, I'm so in love with the Curlew Country Blog. The pictures are amazing and she has an adorable family.

Praying for::::
Shawn as he travels this week to St. Louis and then to Buffalo.  

Bible Verse, Devotional that is resonating with me at the moment::::

I love your tip, I also sometimes forget to get the tags out and then wonder why I'm getting stabbed lol

Hope you have a great week.

I had to skip the rest of the post after I saw what you were reading to say, Welcome to the family!! OMG those books are the most amazing works of fantasy fiction I've read in such a long time. They are a close tie with Lord of the Rings on the epic scale.

Now I'll go read the rest of the post.

I love the bakers rack, so pretty.

I try to take the tags off all out clothes at one time and toss them into the bag they came out of, if not those horrible plastic pieces end up everywhere.

Have a great week.

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

By
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...
