Today was not a great day. I had high hopes for it, but alas, here we are. I got super frustrated when I got more unhelpful advice regarding our housing situation. Then, I was going to take Child #3 to get blood work done at the hospital when I looked over at his legs andContinue reading “Challenges”

Child #2’s Chimichangas
Yesterday, as you may know, was Cinco de Mayo, or Mexican independence day. We, in the states, tend to celebrate it too. Hey, it’s another reason to party, people!

A Rainbow Promise & Chocolate Sauce
The other day we had a pretty strong storm here in Wisconsin. However, when the clouds moved East, the sun shined in the West and a beautiful rainbow appeared. It reminded me of that very first rainbow and the promise that went along with it. God has not abandoned us, even though the mortgage companyContinue reading “A Rainbow Promise & Chocolate Sauce”
Good News!

Every once in a while we have breakfast for dinner. This is especially popular during Fridays in Lent, when we do not eat meat. Yesterday, Child #2 decided to make vanity pancakes. Vanity pancakes are light and fluffy. We generally make at least a double batch, since a single batch makes 20, 6″ pancakes. TheseContinue reading “Vanity Pancakes”
Six Word Story #28
Turn to God in all things. Note: I just had to share a funny that happened when I was writing this post. I mistyped and got thongs instead of things! Autocorrect actually helped me out this time!!!
A Stumble and a Break
Ah, clumsiness, my old friend. What did she do now? Oh, just broke my foot! I’m nothing if not an overachiever! And yes, since I never broke a bone as a child or even young adult, I’m making up for lost time! As a child my parents had a special addendum added to their insuranceContinue reading “A Stumble and a Break”
