This morning Degen woke me up, standing at the side of my bed, saying “Mommy!” Then he threw up. On my bed. At 5am. Oh boy. So, Colin got up with me and cleaned up the bed and floor while I cleaned Degen up. As I walked him into the bathroom for a bath, he [...]

TV OFF
Posted in Home, Religion/Church on Feb 4th, 2008
This weekend we had Stake Conference and the theme was primarily about strengthening our homes and families. I’d been praying for revelation along those lines, and on Saturday there were several talks that the Spirit kind of amplified for me as an answer to my prayers. One talk in particular discussed setting priorities and using our [...]
I am so pleased with myself, and for a reason that will seem silly and mundane to a few of you. This is my fourth day in a row of having a clean kitchen! ALL of my dishes are done (including the pans) and I've unloaded the dishwasher already and loaded the breakfast dishes. The counters [...]
I've been in Dallas, Texas, for the last few days on our Thanksgiving vacation. Our friends, Ashley and Justin, invited us to stay with them and celebrate Thanksgiving with them this year and we happily took them up on their offer. My sister Phoebe and her husband John live nearby and were invited to join [...]
Places to find NLR, AR rentals
Posted in Home on Nov 17th, 2007
This morning I've been looking online for houses to rent in the North Little Rock/Sherwood/Jacksonville, Arkansas area. I've done this in the past with very little luck. Craigslist really isn't much help (yet) in Arkansas. Here are a couple of sites that have been somewhat helpful: www.oodle.com collects listings from several sites and has some good [...]
You would not believe how happy I am with myself right now. It's not even 9:30 in the morning and my kids are dressed, I got Colin to work on time, we've all had breakfast, I've got the dishwasher unloaded, loaded, and started, I've switched out and folded a batch of laundry (which brings me to [...]
Shopping Deals
Posted in Home on Sep 26th, 2007
I was thinking this morning about shopping. I think most stores have a set schedule of sales and deals and such, but I'm not one of those people who keep track of those kinds of things in my head. Someone should make a web page documenting the sale schedules of department and discount stores, don't [...]
Pulaski County Extension Office
Posted in Gardening on Sep 5th, 2007
I don't have a place to garden yet, but I have great hopes. So, I just looked up the Pulaski County, AR, Extension Office. Here's a link to their site: www.uaex.edu/pulaski/.
I just planted 52 red pansies in my front yard planter. I also sprayed down the front of the house with the hose, as Mark suggested. It looks very nice, if I do say so myself. Colin started taking down the christmas lights, but it's raining outside so he didn't finish and there are strands [...]
