Why this blog...

I am the mother of the three most talented, intelligent and beautiful children ever to live on this earth. I am also privileged to be married to the most wonderful man! He has added three additional talented, intelligent and beautiful children to our family! I have a job that I mostly love, a wonderful education, a beautiful home, marvelous family, and I have the privilege of belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have been greatly blessed in my life, but I sometimes forget that. So, I decided to create this blog as a way to remind myself of all the many blessings and miracles that surround me. (I'm also terrible at keeping a journal- so this will be something for my kids to enjoy as well.)

I hope you enjoy what you read. I would love to hear what you think!

A "Typical" Saturday...

Luke said I should do a post about my very long day yesterday...

Started my day with a relaxing bubble bath! (from 4:30- 5 AM- yes, my day starts early now that I have spent so long with Luke and his CFS- his early bed time = me waking crazy early most mornings.)

Then started on the grapes- had to pick them, de-stem them, wash them, then juice them!


A few years ago, I only got 8 quarts from these grapevines. Now I have 27 quarts! Wow! Yes, this took many hours...

And I canned a few jars of tomatoes while I was waiting for the juicer.

Also 2 loads of laundry, 2 loads of dishes, vacuuming, mowing the front and back lawn. Attached the slide to the swing set, pick a few strawberries and more tomatoes. Pulled the weeds in the driveway, completed over an hour of paperwork, cut some fabric to prep for Christmas projects. and did some crocheting.

Oh, also went shopping, picked up clothes for the granddaughters, got gas for the car, printed notes for school.

And prepped meals for Luke.

Then ended the day watching the football game! First entire game Luke and I have watched together- very enjoyable day!
