This week should be fun. Jonathan is doing really well with potty training and we are all so excited about that. He should have it down pat within the next week. So my meals this week are pretty easy/no fuss. If you came to my house right now you could witness the [...]

This steve pavlina dude is unbelievable. I mentioned a while back about self discipline and how I’m working it in to my life (or not). I also mentioned steve and his website in that same post. Since I found his site- I have found myself frequenting it more and more. He [...]

While I was nursing Lachlan tonight, Jonathan was in the bathroom washing his hands. He was taking forever and being really quiet. I asked him what was going on and he said he was washing his hands. I imagined that he was pumping the hand soap dispenser repeatedly, since he had been [...]

This morning I was able to attend the birthday celebration for the womens organization in our church. They served us a decent breakfast of hash browns, eggs, oranges and crescent rolls. We then were privileged to hear some beautiful musical numbers and listen to some speakers talk to us about nourishing our bodies, [...]
