Positive thoughts....

The weather here is terrible. Or at least, it feels like it to a southern cold natured Oklahoman.

So, instead of dwelling on the weather I thought I would write about something positive.

Yep, here she is. My baby!


Can she still be called this? I can remember every tiny detail of the day she was born. She was planned, and thought out, and I was prepared and ready.

Or so I thought, until she got here. She is such a good girl. I am so blessed. You would think that a mom with two healthy beautiful girls would never forget that. It is really easy to get caught up in the monotony and trials of raising two very enigmatic girls.

J is so J. She looks like sister and acts like sister, but she is still J. Isn't it wonderful how God was so intuitive to make us each unique?


Did I mention she likes to dress up. She has such a inspiring imagination. She cooks for me, she is my beautician, and is the best helper (when not picking up her own toys).

She is totally infatuated with Barbie. I have such a hard time with this. We live on a ranch, with dogs, cats, chickens, cows, horses, and all sorts of wild animals. Where did she get Barbie?

Hey I like to dress up when I go to town but not anything close to Barbie fru fru. And sister, no way, it is a knock down dragout to get a bow in her hair!

So the pink, princess, loving little sister moves mountains in this house.

Daddy has tea parties! shhh don't let him know I told. He's a softy.

I pray that I am the right road. I pray that wisdom and grace befalls her to follow the correct path, not the path most taken. I pray for a continuance of well being. Thank you for blessing me J.

Welcome a little change..

If you haven't looked about lately.

I changed things up.

I was up late one night reading through blogs, and I thought to myself. My page is so simple. It really needs something.

From the beginning I wanted it to have three components; thoughts, recipes, and pictures. I have limited blog knowledge.

So, I waded in. I read and looked and search for free things, how to make a header, how to alter you html, adding templates, and so on. And finally, I found a free template that I thought would work.

Alla this page and pictures!

My favorite thing about this new template is the link tabs right under the Title picture.

See them. They say home recipes pictures.

Click on them and they will take you to a new page. One for recipes and one for pictures or photography ideas.

It is all still a work in progress. But I like to change things up a little. You never know what you might find the next time you click in!

What do you think? Do you like my new do?

Hey Chick.....

My lovely daughter has talked me into another animal project.

The conversation goes something like this:

E "Mom can I be in 4-H?"
M "When are the meetings?"

E "After school, from 3:00 to 3:30"

I thought to myself, sure I don't get off till 4:00, this will give her
something to do while she waits.

M "Sure, E, I don't care."

After the first 4-H meeting

E "Mom, mom can I show a goat? Can I show chickens? Hannah is showing a goat and Emily is going to show a goat and a pig. Mom, pleaseeeeeeee?"
M "I will have to talk to dad and see what he says."

So, several conversation later and this is what you get
20 precious, soft, cuddly, peeping, pooping, baby chicks


and smiling little girls.

Now, where are we going to put the rascals, I mean chicks, you know they double in size every 5-7 days. Did you catch that there are 20 of them? 20, yes I said 20.

Am I brave enough to ask the husband about enlarging the hen house?

Nope, not today!

First project of the year

Sorry it's been a really busy first of the year. It is so crazy to say this, but I think I am getting better at staying at home.

You see I am from a small city. So, when I moved to the country, and I do mean country, I had withdrawals. I thought if you didn't live close enough to go get take out and get back home with it still hot, you just live to far from town. Well, anyway!

I can't stay home very long. I am of the opinion that you can only do so much housework, cooking, and refereeing of two girls. The next step is to start a project or go to town. Well, I did both. I went to visit my sister in town. Good logic! We made a trip to Hobby Lobby and I found this.

My next project. A quilt for my elder daughter. Her one request: Zebra Stripes. Wish me luck.

2010: A New Beginning

Happy New Year to you!

This morning I looked out the window and was greeted by the beautiful sunshine.

The pond with ice around the edge.

The sunshine following the driveway to the front window.

Shrubs hunkering down through the low temperatures.



New bulbs, beginning their path to beauty..



I love the spring and the fall. The colors are so vibrant. So rich. The winter to me is bleak, cold, and but sometimes that's can beautiful too. I wish I liked the cold weather more.

I hope that this morning is a good indication of what we have to look forward to this year. I speak it and believe that many blessing will befall you and me this year. May you be blessed by the sunshine and inspired by the views.
