Well, we made the big move! We are now in Central Florida. I am down to unpacking the last few boxes. Love our new house but it is set up a lot different than the house we moved from so it is taking some time to figure out where to put things and how everything is going to function. It's coming together. I am looking for a job. I have had one interview and have another scheduled for next week. I

Yikes! It's three weeks until moving day and there is still so much to be done. As I try to check things off my to do list one by one I am reminded why I hate moving. So much red tape to accomplish anything. On a positive note I did have a phone interview last week for a possible job. I am praying that if it is the job God wants for me then He will work out all the details. I had a great

I really hate packing. I used to think that I'm a pretty organized person. I mean usually it's pretty easy to locate things in our home when you are looking for them. Unless of course my husband or kids have used them. No, but seriously, I have a place for everything and try to put it back there when I'm done or when I'm picking up the house. However, when it comes time to pack I realize just how

Outside my window…It is beautiful outside. Nice day to be at the beach. I am thinking…about all the families who are suffering as a result of the tornadoes and storms that have passed through the country recently. From my kitchen…There hasn't been much activity in my kitchen lately because I had a wisdom tooth cut out on Monday and haven't felt much like cooking. Around my house…there are a

I am a pastor's wife (I think I've mentioned that before) and I ran across this blog entry through a forum for pastor's wives that I am a part of. It has great insight into some of the things a pastor's wife (& a pastor) go through at times. I am VERY blessed to be able to say that my church does NOT treat us like this AT ALL. We have been so blessed by our current church family. As a matter of

Had a really good weekend. The kids were gone all day Friday and Friday night and since my husband was out of town that meant that I had the entire house to myself ALL day. I rented movies and enjoyed the peace and quiet. I can't remember the last time I had alone time. It was very nice. I spent Saturday shopping with my daughter for a prom dress.  We finished up just about the time my husband

"Whoooo!" That was the sound of me blowing the cobwebs off of my blog. Not only did I dust off the cobwebs I actually did a little renovating around here.  What do you think? I have been MIA for a while. Never knew raising teenagers could be so challenging & exhausting! If you have small children, take my advice and read all the books on raising teenagers that you can get your hands on

Today it's back to school for my three kiddos. I always make them take pictures the first day of school and they hate it. But they know the drill and know that I'm not going to take no for an answer so they have learned not to fight me. Still doesn't mean they look too thrilled. See what I mean?I got a little emotional as I dropped them off for school this morning. I think it all started last

Otherwise Known as Mom over at the Shupeville Zoo honored me with the Versatile Blogger award last week and I'm just now getting around to thanking her properly and passing it on. Thanks so much for the award!! If you aren't a follower of her blog you should go on over because she takes some awesome pictures and has a great sense of humor. I love reading her blog!

Don't you just love it when  you find a tip that helps make your life easier? I do. I have mentioned here that when I went in and saw my doctor she discovered that my hormones were out of whack. As a result she decided to put me on a light dose of progesterone. I already struggled with some acne, but the progesterone made it even worse. So I mentioned this to a friend of mine and she told me

I'm back again! I know I have been so sporadic with my blogging the last few months. After visiting the doctor a few times I found out that there have actually been some good reasons why I have been so tired and run down. Thankfully I think all those have been addressed now and I am happy to say that I am feeling much better! The tendency is for bloggers to return and promise they are gonna do

Outside my window.... it is sunny and hot. Although I am sure the usual afternoon showers will be popping up soon. I am thinking...that I hope my wonderful husband has a very blessed birthday today. He is the big 4-0 today. I thank God every day for him and the gift that he is to me! I am also thinking... about the family of one of my son's friends who was killed in a car accident yesterday. He

This weekend was very relaxing and yet somehow still productive. Not sure how it worked out to be both, but I'm thankful that it did. Here are the pictures of my hubby's graduation. So proud of him and all his hard work! Hope you enjoy!

Hi! I think the hustle and bustle of life is slowing down now. At least I hope it is. I've really missed being around here. I don't have much of anything planned for this weekend so I hope to be able to make it around to all the blogs that I follow and get caught up with everyone. My husband's graduation was this past weekend. We had a great time celebrating his accomplishment so I wanted to

I love Five Question Friday! It's so much fun. Sorry for the meme posts of late. It's the only way I can get posting in right now. I hope that will be improving very soon when my schedule slows down. I hope you will stick with me until then. I do have some ideas for other, more creative, posts.  I just don't have the creative energy to spend on them right now. Sorry. For now I hope this will

Fast and furious.  That seems to describe my life and schedule right now.  The month of April has included lots of traveling for me including a wedding and a women's conference.  The month of May doesn't look to be any quieter. I will be traveling to another wedding this weekend.  The second weekend of May is our Ladies' Tea at our church.  The third weekend will be my sweet husband's graduation.

I made it safely to and from Florida.  The wedding was great. A lot of work, but my mom is happy and that's all that matters!  Thanks to those who said that I was missed!  I missed all of you too.  I hope to be around soon to catch up with everyone.  Life has been very busy since I've returned and I don't see it slowing down anytime soon.  This is the only weekend I have free for over a month.

Life has been so busy lately!  Couple that with the fact that I am struggling just to get through my day to day responsibilities and you get a blogger missing in action.  Sorry!  I'm not going to promise to do better because I have been down this road of battling with depression before and I'm not sure when it will improve.  Instead I'm just going to ask you to bear with me and if you pray,

Do you notice dust at other peoples homes?Not really.  I would probably notice clutter more than dust. 4.

Our church has been so supportive of us as a family.  They have paid for a majority of my husband's seminary education.  We wanted to show them how much we appreciate their support so we cooked and served them dinner.  Here are a few photos from the church appreciation dinner. This is me and my husband (looking pretty ragged I might add) with a missionary to Haiti Anne Rita.

At the beginning of the year I read this brilliant post by Shannon.  Go on over, read it and come back. I promise you won't be sorry! She did a wonderful job of describing the different types of balls that we all juggle in our everyday life.  As she explained some of the balls will break when they are dropped, those balls are glass.  Some of the balls will bounce, those are the rubber balls.

What do these common household items have in common? I was listening/watching Fox News while getting ready for work this morning (just like most other mornings) and they had an author on who was talking about these common household items and how they are poisoning us.  Apparently he did some experiments to test the safety of these items and found that they all contain or emit some dangerous

Are you more of a talker or a listener?I wish I could say I am more of a listener, but I'm afraid I'm more of a talker, but only after I get to know you really well.   2. Bra.

Here are shots of some of the activities my kids have participated in the last couple of weeks.  This is "C" participating in a Mardi Gra parade for the nursing home residents.    This is "K" & his band participating in The Battle of the Bands at a local high school.    This is "M" playing her first home game.

I know that I said I was going to try and do a "real" post sometime this weekend, but life did not allow.  It was a good weekend though, just busy. Last week I was given a couple of awards by some of my bloggy friends.  I feel extremely special to know that my blog makes a difference in other people's lives. Thanks to MINDY over at "Because I Said So" for the Beautiful Blogger Award!!  I am truly

Life is crazy busy right now for me.  I hope to be able to add a post with some substance tomorrow or at least some time this weekend.  In the mean time I wanted to point you in the direction of some sites where you can find some new bloggy friends. I have found some fabulous blogs through Follow Me Friday.  Please stop by these blogs and check out the other ladies who signed up for Follow Me

Today is my birthday so I'm kind of taking the day off from Shoot Me!  BUT I did want to share one of my favorite pictures of myself.  Granted this was a couple of years ago and more than a couple pounds lighter, but it is one of my most favorite pictures of me.   Hope you have a fabulous Thursday!

It's time to share a couple more of the things we love around our homes.  I'm not sure if what I have to share falls under "two things."  I guess it's more like a"set of things."  This set is not only something I love.  It also falls into the categories of birthday present and fabulous find!  Without further ado, here's my new comforter set...My sweet husband bought this for me for my birthday

This week's question for Friend Makin Monday is... What did you do this weekend? Confess it.  FridayI volunteered at our church to help our new secretary learn how to run the membership software.  While I was volunteering hubby was with our youngest "C" at a late Mardi Gra parade they put on for one of the local nursing homes.  They were originally supposed to do it the week before, but got

1. How often do you wash/change your sheets?I don't have a set schedule that I go by but I would say probably every couple of weeks. 2. When is your birthday?It's funny that you asked - it's THURSDAY - February 25th. 3. Have you ever met a bloggy friend in real life?I know there is one bloggy friend I have met in real life, but I originally met her through another web site (not through blogging

17 years ago today we found out that we would be receiving a very special valentine that year.  That was the day that we found out we would become parents for the first time and welcome "K" into our family.  Special indeed!

Today was a rare snow day for us here in Southeast Louisiana.  I had hoped to catch up on my blog reading and get a good post in, but since we live in the sticks and we have our internet service via satellite we were without internet service most of the day.  I just thought I'd pop on and share a couple of pictures from today.  Thanks for stopping by!

ere are my two things I love around my home... These are both things I love.  The first is a wooden quilt rack that was given to me by a dear friend. Sorry I didn't think to take one closer up.  The second is a quilt that was made for me by my mom.  The picture in the middle is my maternal grandparents.  All the hearts are made out of scraps from the clothes they wore.  In the hearts are the

I wanted to participate in one of the fun Monday blog hops.  But the truth is I have the blah's and I just really don't feel like it.  I'm discouraged.  I did so good with my eating and exercise last week.  Got on the scale yesterday and my weight is the same!  It's not just weight loss though.  It's just this reality that no matter how hard I try it's just never enough to keep up with everything

I don't like Russell Stover chocolates.  There, I said it.  I know that most girls love Russell Stover's chocolates.  I'm not really much for chocolate with a filling inside, much less never knowing exactly what you might bite into.   A much better option would be Dove Milk Chocolate.  OR Hershey's Kisses.  OR my favorite kind of chocolate - Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. What would be your

1. What are you most afraid of?My biggest fear is something happening to my children or my husband.  Losing them would be the worst thing I could imagine.  2. Do you use a flat iron or curling iron?I used to be a curling iron girl.  But now?  It's straight iron all the way! 3. Hands-free or phone to the ear?Phone to the ear.  I need to try for the hands free thing, but it feels awkward.  I

Since I asked all of you, who are on a health & weight loss journey, to share your tips, encouragement, and experience with me I thought I would do the same for you.  My first tip is... Be sure to celebrate your Non Scale Victories (NSVs).  You will notice that I added a gadget in my sidebar for doing just that.  I invite you to do the same!  It may be something as simple as turning down that

Today's Working Mommy Wednesday question is such a tough one.  I look forward to seeing how everyone else handles this situation... What do you do about work when your child is sick? Whose responsibility is it to stay home when daycare is not available? Should Mom be the typical caregiver or should Dad step in? I have to say now that my children are older this is not nearly the problem for us

As I mentioned yesterday I am in serious need of some accountability when it comes to my health and weight loss goals this year.  This will be the third time I have lost weight in an attempt to get healthy and feel better about myself.  The first two times I used a method that melted the weight off fairly quickly.  But then I slowly crept back to my old habits and the weight piled back on.  This

Not me Monday is a fun way to share some of the things about you that you are NOT so proud of.  If you want to see what everyone else did NOT do this week, just hop on over to MckMama's blog.  First of all it is most certainly not me who has a birthday this month.  I am not about to turn 35, which is eeking ever so close to the 40 mark.  I will not be squeezing all I can out of my birthday

It's time for some more fun "Getting to Know You" questions, compliments of Keely.  1. Do you iron your sheets? Umm... NO!  To each his (or her) own, but seems like a waste of perfectly good (& valuable) time to me! 2. Your dream car is....? I really enjoy my car.  It's a Chevy Tahoe loaded with most of the perks.  I haven't really dreamed about another car so I can't really answer this

Nah, I'd rather have my family with me! 2. Do you go the speed limit?I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it might be used again me by my newly licensed teenage son.

I'm so glad it's Friday.  I think it's fitting that today's Fill In The Blank Friday is a birthday edition because my birthday just happens to be coming up in a few weeks!  Thanks to the Unexperienced Mom for hosting! For my birthday, the one dessert I want to enjoy the most is:________ I think my first choice for a birthday dessert would be my mom's home made red velvet cake with home made cream

It's time again for Working Mommy Wednesday. Today's question is...  What one (or two, or three, or four....) household chores do you loathe? Let's make this as clear as possible... I loathe pretty much ALL housework.  The chore that I loathe the most would be washing dishes. Whether it be washing them by hand or with the dishwasher, either way I loathe washing dishes.  Coming in a close

Found this neat idea for a Monday Journal over at The Simple Woman's Daybook. It looked like fun so I thought I'd give it a try. FOR TODAY Outside my window... The sun is shining and it's about 55 degrees. It's a little windy, but otherwise a beautiful day. I am thinking... it's going to be a busy week. I am thankful for...so many things.

It's time for our Sunday Getting to Know You questions.  Thanks to Keely for hosting! 1. Waffles, pancakes or french toast? Umm...pancakes if they are moist and not dry. 2. Dream home..What would it look like? It would take entirely too long to describe in detail what the ultimate dream house would look like so I'll just say that I am very happy with the house we are living in now.  We live in

This weeks summary is going to be pretty short.  I didn't get to post my week end summary yesterday, so I'm doing it today.  I did put together a button (although I'm not sure I'm totally happy with it) and hopefully next week I'll be better prepared and I can make it a blog hop for others who may want to post a summary of their week.  This week was fairly uneventful.  Tuesday my hubby started

I am enjoying having a great time with my husband at our retreat.  We spent the entire day together and now we are waiting for dinner time.  So I thought I'd hop on a answer today's questions for Five Question Friday. 1. What is better, growing old with out money or dying young and wealthy? I am currently growing old without money and I'm happy, so I'd say growing old without money.  Besides who

  Ok, so I may be cheating a little by using some of my pictures from Christmas.  But I thought this one was fitting seeing how this weekend my hubby and I are going away on a retreat this weekend!  Looking forward to some "couple time!" I will try to make it a point to post a current photo next week.  Shoot Me! It's time to stop hiding behind that camera of yours. Your family is missing you

It's time for Working Mommy Wednesday again.  Julia has a really tough question for us this week. As a working mom, if you suddenly became a SAHM, how do you think your life would be different? As a SAHM, if you suddenly had to become a working mom, how would your life be different?  I long to be a stay at home mom.  However the reality is that it's not financially possible for my family

This is something new that I just ran across over at A Little Blog About Nothing.  It's a day to post all your rants and raves from the past week.  Sounds like fun.  I only have a few since I just ran across this today, but here goes nothing... Rave:  I love it when my children have fabulous teachers who go out of their way to make sure your children are taken care of.  My youngest son just

It's Sunday and time again for Getting to Know You!  Thanks to Keely for providing these fun questions! 1. Hair color..Au naturale..or not?Well, sort of! The underside is my natural color and the top is highlights.  I was gonna go back to Au naturale, but I have too much gray! 2. If somebody has food in their teeth or lipstick on their teeth do you tell them?Depends on the person and how well

Since I want my blog to double as a sort of family scrapbook I'm gonna start on Saturdays doing a post that summarizes some of the happenings of our week.  I'm thinking of making it a blog hop so that if anyone else wants to participate they can.  I think I'll call is Summary Saturdays.  I'm gonna be working on a button and hopefully will kick off the blog hop next Saturday.  I realize there are

It's Friday and time for the fun Five Question Friday.  1. Worst trouble you ever got into as a teenager? Are you serious?  I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it might incriminate me be used against me as a defense.  Have you forgotten that I have TWO (about to be THREE) teenagers in my house?  I can, however, tell you (because my kids already know this) that I was married at

 It's week 2 of our 52 week Shoot Me! challenge.  The challenge is to take a photo of you (yes, you) with a child, spouse, friend, or even by yourself and share it on your blog.   This is me and my baby brother.  I am so thankful to have such a close relationship with my brother.  He is one of my biggest supporters and encouragers.  We can talk about anything.  Even though we live states

I missed posting my answer to the question for Working Mommy Wednesday (what you know with work and all ;))  But I thought it was a really fun question and so I'm going to answer it anyway.  Better late than never, right? Yesterday's question was...  What song do you always find yourself singing at the top of your lungs when you're in the car all by yourself?  Well... I would say it would

Hi!  I'm feeling a lot better than I was last week, but this junk is still hanging on.  Can't wait to for it to let loose so that I can get back to normal (whatever that is)! Here's my pic for Wordless Wednesday... This is our house on our Snow Day in 2008.  What makes it even more interesting is that we live in Southeast Louisiana! Today is Working Mommy Wednesday over at Julia's blog and I

I think I am finally on the mend!!  Thank God! Which is a good thing since my kids have not had school since last Thursday.  Apparently some pipes froze or burst or something and they are having a hard time getting the water fixed.  Needless to say all my kids have managed to do while they were out of school is dirtying our house.  While I am working today they are supposed to be cleaning.  I'm

It's time for Not Me Monday again.  You know the time when we do NOT confess to all those things too embarrassing to mutter.  I really didn't think I had anything to NOT confess this week.  While reading what everyone else did not do this week it reminded me of a few things I definitely did NOT do. I did NOT go out to start my car a few minutes before time to leave this morning to let it

It's time again for Getting to Know YOU.  Thanks to Keely for hosting! 1. If you were stranded on a desert island and could pick one person to be stranded with you..Who would you pick? Family members not included. Of course my number one pick would be my husband.  He takes such good care of me.  Otherwise I'd just have to leave it up to chance.  I couldn't choose. 2.

I should be sleeping but thanks to this stupid sickness I'm awake.  I was sleeping peacefully and then the coughing started.  Since my hubby has to work tomorrow I thought I'd better get out of the bedroom and let him continue sleeping.  So I moved into the living room and once the coughing subsided I tried to get back to sleep.  My mind & body had other ideas.  First I started thinking about how

It's time for Five Question Friday.  Thanks so much to Mama M.  for hosting this fun blog hop! 1. What's your "comfort food"? That's a really good question to ask right now, seeing how I am soooo very sick!  There are so many comfort foods that I love!  Right now what sounds really good is ooey gooey - hot out of the oven chocolate chip cookies with a glass of ice cold milk! 2. Do you send

That's right I managed to complete day 2 of the shred today.  Which is a big accomplishment seeing how I pretty consistently sound like I'm hacking up a lung.  I'm still sick, but I got a little encouragement from this guy... This is my youngest son (you can tell he really needs to be shredding, right? Ha).  Who asked me this afternoon if I was going to do my workout today. He has agreed to be

I stumbled across this challenge over at Forever In Blue Jeans and thought it would be a great challenge to participate in this year.  The challenge is to post a picture every Thursday of yourself with a child, spouse, friend, or even by yourself. So here's my pic for this week... This is one of my closest friends Rebecca and I just before Christmas. We are SOUL sisters!

It's day one of the 30 Day Shred Challenge and I am sick as a dog.  I woke up yesterday morning with a sore throat and now I think I have the full blown flu! :( Even though I didn't feel so great yesterday I was so excited about getting started with the shred that I decided to go ahead and get started.  Let me tell you it was pretty tough especially on the knees.  I'm feeling it in my muscles

Thanks so much to my baby brother for getting this shot! Not really!! Anybody else feel like this is all you did over the holidays? As a result of my non-stop eating and the fact that my jeans are a little too tight I've

Our vacation was great and much needed, but I am so glad to be home.  AND I'm so glad to be back to my blog.  I had very good intentions of blogging while we were gone.  Do you have any idea how hard it is for a family of five to function while staying in someone else's house?  There was always somewhere to be because of the holidays and never any quiet time to think and be creative.  I have lots

Good morning! We had a pretty uneventful trip down here to Central Florida on Monday and have been enjoying time with our family and friends since we arrived. We had the first of many Christmas gatherings on Tuesday night. We had a very sad turn of events after the party that night. My cousin's little girl Alyssa (who had been very sick for some time, she had many complications from a blood

I am definitely NOT getting my Not Me Monday done early so that we can hit the road! I am NOT headed for a warmer climate to spend time with my family and friends. And it was most certainly NOT ME who filled up the entire shoe bag before my husband could even put in one pair! I am NOT planning to nap and listen to tunes the entire 11+ hour trip (with breaks to eat of course)while my

I've always loved looking at Christmas lights.  So last week when our youngest son told us about a place not to far (or so we thought) from where we live that has a fabulous Christmas light display I was more than happy to oblige his request to go and see them before we leave for Christmas vacation.  We decided Thursday night would be the night.  Not that we had a lot of other options.  Every

I felt after this post that I probably needed to add a little clarification.  You see I live in somewhat of a welfare state.  The area I live in has a large portion of people who depend on government assistance and hand outs to live.  It's a lifestyle for them.  The mentality in this are is (for the most part) one of "you owe me."  People tend to think that they are entitled to have someone else

I work at a church office.  To say that some interesting things happen here is an understatement.  Take for instance the telephone call I just received.... Me:  Good afternoon _________ Church how may I help you? Female Caller:  Do you help people, do you give people stuff for Christmas? Me:  Ma'am, you will need to speak to the pastor, but he is not here at the moment.  Can I take your name and

I know, I know it's a little late to be giving an update on the weekend.  The first part of this week has been so busy I didn't have time to upload my pictures for this weekend so I'm doing it now. Oh, and just in case any of you were wondering we found the belt that was mentioned here! :D Our weekend started out with our small group Christmas Party.  We hosted it and I was so busy playing

It's time for Working Mommy Wednesday again.  Thanks to Julia over at Sweet As Punkin Pie for hosting WMW.  Today's question is... With all the demands of working and motherhood, how do you manage to make time for your husband?  I must admit that now that my kids are older finding time to spend with my husband is much easier than it used to be.   I am blessed to have every other Friday
