Fasting Today

Image
By













Have you ever had a day when you just want to tell everyone that they are fasting?  These are the dishes left over from breakfast this morning.  Yes, my children barely ate anything!  And, it's so frustrating!  They barely ate anything last night at dinner time as well.  So, today, I have imposed a lunch fast for the children (excepting Maryanne).  Maybe they will eat their dinner tonight no matter what it is because they are so hungry.

I hate it when my kids don't eat their cereal! I feel like I'm throwing $$ down the drain with the Cheerios. So frustrating!! So you're not the only one!! :)

Ha ha....such a great idea, I just may have to try that! BTW-I would love the info for making the bean bags, can always use a great idea to "gift," especially when you don't have to take the kids to the toy store....definitely understand that one :o)

Thankfully breakfast is the one meal that I know will be eaten in its entirety. My boys would eat breakfast 3 times a day if they could, and often eat it for snacks. Now dinner on the other hand (and sometimes lunch) almost always looks like what you're dealing with. It's very frustrating throwing away food, and I often find myself saying, "What do you think? Food grows on trees?" (Hehehe) or "Don't you know there are starving children in China/India/Mexico?" I'm starting to sound like my mother. Good luck with the fast and let me know if it works.

So I'm interested to know how this experiment worked. And do you think it will work on younger kids like my three year old stubborn child?

Blogiversary

By
Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

By
(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
