My new friend, the Pioneer Woman, she gave me a gift. A gorgeous, beautiful, stunning t-shirt. Yes, she gave a t-shirt to everyone that came to her book signing. Even though I was one of thousands….I feel sure I was the most special. Now you know why I love her so. She loves me too….
When you buy eggs at the grocery store, do you know where they come from? Who manages those chickens? Who takes care of them? Does that person care about your health or the well being of the chickens? When we eat eggs that have been laid (or lain…which is it?) by our chickens, we know…
They say Christmas is a time for miracles…. And I need one, man. I need a miracle. I need for God to streeeettttcccchhhhh out the days so I can have some more time. Please God, do that teensy thing for me? My little Shop 24 workers are cranking out orders. I just know this is…
We had a few people over for dinner on Sunday night. It’s a lovely bunch, wouldn’t you say? Here’s just our family….. We need those other people back to make us look all Christmas-y. We don’t have enough red in our picture. These are all of the people that homechurch with us. We usually meet…
Snow Snow Snow Snow Snow! We are stunned…positively shocked over the snow flurry in our yard! The kids ran immediately outside and started squealing. But there was a problem.

As the weather gets chilly and the Christmas lights on the porch shine their soft glow through my bedroom window….I start to feel ready for the holidays. We don’t do much in the way of gifts. The kids get a stocking and sometimes (not this year) we get them a group gift. This year, since…
It’s been a long weekend of coughing and not sleeping and coughing some more. Why is it lasting so long? Why is my house such a mess? Why do bird suddenly appear every time you are near? Why am I singing Karen Carpenter songs? I think I’m high on Robitussin PM. I hope you all…
It’s up…. It’s ready…… Drum roll please…….. Our etsy shop is up and running. The name of our place is Shop 24. The name is based on Proverbs 31:24, “She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.” The girls and I will be adding and changing our items often, so…
T’was the night before Thanksgiving, when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse (which is good ‘cuz mamma is terrified of mice); The turkey was thawed in the new Frigidaire in hopes of tomorrow when friends would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while…
