Valentine's Day Post

        Ok so it's Valentine's Day and I'm saying to myself, "what can I do to be a blessing?"  I don't work outside the home so buying my honey a gift with his money seems silly to me.  Time to be creative! For a few months the car has been a disaster and although he's not said anything about it, I know it really bothers him.  So for two hours yesterday, I cleaned the car from top to bottom. Then I sprayed some Febreeze and hung up an air freshner.  His face lit up when we got in the car to go to church last night!  He was so thankful and happy to see the car clean again. 

        Last night I set up the kitchen for "big breakfast".  That's what the kids call it :) I just love Valentine's Day!  It's a close second to Christmas.  Anyway along with getting ready for the morning, I put together their gifts.....just little things from the dollar store. They had little bags filled with candy and cookies shaped like cupcakes, hearts, and an owl, so cute!  I found a bouquet of gorgeous yellow roses at Aldi for ten bucks!!!

        When the family woke up this morning they were treated to bacon, eggs, cinnabuns, french toast, OJ, and their fun little gifts.  They loved it!!! And I love serving them, not just today, because as a stay at homeschooling mama, I serve them everyday.  But today is especially nice because they really enjoy all the extra attention.

     Although we will do some school today, we are having a Valentine's Day party with games, movies and apparently a basketball game later today.

Here are pics of our Valentine's so far.........
Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!!

Best Vacation Ever

 We had the vacation of a lifetime, for us anyway. Usually we're able to go cabin camping or day trips somewhere but this year we stayed at Camelback Resort. It's a ski resort with an indoor waterpark. It was so awesome! It was the best vacation we've ever had. There was something to do for everyone. There was also an indoor mini golf.     And indoor rock climbing and rope courses. The kids had a blast! I was so happy Brooke was able to come with us. It may be her last vacation with us before becoming Mrs Shuff:)   The kids enjoying the massive arcade. This was the view from our bedroom!   Of course Noah bought his game console.  Here's daddy and daughter getting ready to shred on the slopes!! When we came back from vacation that night was our church's teen takeover night. Lily sang with a group and Noah preached and did a phenomenal job!!

Where Did July Go?

My intention was to write again the end on July but somehow I missed it because here it is August. Oh well. The rest of July was going pretty good. Brooke came home for another visit to race in Spartan upstate and we got to visit my SIL which was really nice. It's so peaceful up there. I loved it! Then I got to go to the beach with the kids and some friends which was great because the kids haven't been to the beach in years...such a blessing. We're going again Tuesday:)   Also I've been babysitting my nephew Christian which has been so much fun. That kid is full of energy!   And then this little (not so little) disaster happened...   TERMITES!!!! What began as a remodeling project turned into a nightmare. I just wanted to turn Brooke's old room into a guest/game room. When we opened up the walls is was a nightmare come true.  And those little suckers were gnawing away at my poor house for years apparently. It's going to take up to si...

Fear Is a Liar

About 10 days ago, America was turned upside down because of a fast-moving virus, Covid-19. On Thursday, March 12, I went to the grocery store to do my normal grocery shopping. There was plenty of water, toilet paper, food, and household cleansers. The very next day, with every news channel constantly talking about what may happen in the next few days, I decided to go back out to the stores and grab a few extra essentials, "just in case". I've never seen anything like it. Seemingly and actually overnight, there was a mad dash from the public to panic buy as if a blizzard was coming. The shelves, which just the previous day was stocked, were now empty. It was honestly one of the most frightening things I've ever experienced. I began to buy things that I wasn't even sure I needed. The sense of urgency to buy dry or canned goods was heightened. I looked for toilet paper, gone. I looked for disinfectant wipes, none! My anxiety was through the roof thinking abo...
