Brian had the past 2 days off so we enjoyed spending time with him. Today feels more like a Monday to me than a Saturday, consequently I’m posting my meal plan today. (I started this on Saturday, but it’s taken me until now to post)

Saturday- Basic Savory Beans- Thanks Emily (I’ve already tasted these […]

We decided to leave the door open on Hunter’s bed so that he could have the freedom to leave his bed whenever he wanted and so that he could learn how to obey even when mom and dad aren’t around. Our parenting style is one where we try to foster independence in our children […]

I haven’t participated in Slow Cooker Thursday in a while because I am running our of slow-cooker recipes that we have tried.  However, I found this pot roast recipe in Woman’s Day magazine and it is well liked by our family.  There is so much flavor in this roast.  Check out Diary of a […]

My daughter loves flowers, but I don’t know very much about them. While at Barnes and Noble we found the perfect board book for us both. Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert has pictures and names of several types of flowers. Autumn loves it and now we can identify […]
