[mygal=caleb_7] Today was Caleb’s official birthday. The day he needs to remember the number ’7′ and not ’6.’ I’ve found having our kids every other year has been great for remembering their ages – it’s either an even year or an odd year – this is the odd year. We celebrated Caleb’s birthday on Saturday [...]

Chris and I often comment that we are so grateful that our family tends to be fairly healthy. Whether it’s due to our vitamins (hurray for Melaleuca!), our way of life, or our great gene pool, we very rarely get sick. If we happen to get sick, it doesn’t last very long. So, I was [...]

I have loved reading sweet tributes to Pres. Hinckley on various blogs after his death Sunday night. [It was interesting to find out some blogs that I lurk on are by fellow members of the Church.] This is one of those moments in life that I feel I will remember exactly where I was when [...]

We try to go to the library once a week. As homeschoolers, this is a great place for added resources and as a family that can’t get enough of books, this is a great place to fill that quota as well. Our library day last week was a nightmare. We usually try to go in [...]

In a repeat of last year’s performance, Caleb’s second annual attempt at a Cub Scout Pinewood Derby title resulted in a very respectable 10th place. We believe this is an improvement over last year, as the playing field widened to 40 scouts and we are confident that more people were striving to knock us out [...]

It’s all in your perspective, right?! Tonight I finished Cami’s Christmas stocking. I feel such a sense of completion since it has been giving me a sense of guilt since I didn’t get it done for Christmas. Now that I finished it, I wonder why it took me so long. I guess the answer would [...]

When Chris and I got married, one of our ‘lifetime goals’ was to always get our kids’ pictures taken each year around their birthdays. So far, we’ve been pretty good about doing this. We were a little late getting Hannah’s birthday picture taken this year as hers was in December but we were early on [...]

We are officially back to reality as the holiday is over and Chris is back to his long hours in the city. Add on starting up school with the kids again and my week flew by but dragging along a tired mother in the process. I really forgot in one month off how wearing ‘life’ [...]

We are so grateful not to be in our upstairs apartment in Jersey City where we heard complaints every day about how loud our kids were. We are so grateful for the space to let our kids be kids and to not worry about who is asleep during which hours below us. But with the [...]
