“Are YOU on Pinterest?” If I had a nickle for every person who I ask or who asks me if I’m on Pinterest, I could pay for my children’s college.

I’ve been on Pinterest for 2 years now.

Yes, I know. I’m a late bloomer.

The truth is, I was too proud to ask for an invite so I requested one from Pinterest myself.

And I waited…patiently…and waited.

If only I had know, there's an app for that!…

Worked on this church nursery project late last night turned out really cute...more pics of this project at…

I really find it very soothing and refreshing to post my weekly positives through my Thankful Thursday posts.

This week is about the little things, my garden, my beloved furballs, my neighbour.

I've been surrounded by sadness for a few weeks now and have been desperately been trying to stay 'up' for myself and those who are going through all of this and these posts really do help with that.

Rookie Homeschooling a first year Preschooler

Three Lessons learned by a rookie homeschool teacher! It took a full school year to figure out what works best for me & my daughter.

Thank God for summer! Little does my daughter know but I have put her on a summer break from planned homeschooling. I need time to regroup and apply the lessons I learned to a more productive and smooth second year preschool. (Of course yesterday she eagerly set everything up then came to…

I decided to blog about my past baby weight loss since Baby A is due any day now and I am thinking of what lies ahead in the coming months to get my pre-baby body back. :) Funny stories of how I and what I went through before.  Clearly this morning eating donuts it was not on my mind to much :)

Today Matthew is having his "Moving Up" ceremony (from kindergarten), so to celebrate I'm giving one of YOU a $5 Amazon gift card!

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!



Psalm 31:24



So at this moment I am being asked by the Lord to be strong and courageous because I waited on the Lord and he answered.  Just not in the way or time I expected.  And because I was not prepared for the way or time he delivered, I am now being called upon to be strong and courageous when I really am a weak coward.



"Be strong . . ."



I have found that things you think will…

Out of the game.

Sidelined by a work related injury.  Yes, that's right a work related injury.…

Today I am 23 weeks pregnant. And I am overwhelmed.

Right now there are a million and two things going on in my life – which, to be honest, isn’t all that unusual. I like to be busy so I tend to take a lot on, which generally doesn’t bother me. I do well under pressure. But today, I hit the 23 week marker and at the same time got hit in the face with a little bit of shock: we have a total of 17 weeks until the bean is here...Continue reading at …

Having a small business is what almost every Filipino, maybe every person, wants to attain in order to gain financial stability and freedom. A business for many means having a reliable source of income while also, having enough time for other important things in his life.

This sounds so ideal but is not an impossible thing as many others have already proven and continue to prove.

But before making that BIG step into being an entrepreneur and being…

I accidentally bought a violin. Laugh all you like but it’s true. There I was sitting on my pc looking at an auction site at auctions that were just about to close and there it was .. a VIOLIN. Ooooh that’s cool I thought and before I knew it, I had clicked the “place your bid” button, the auction closed and then oooops, oh oh – looks like I just bought a violin. So that is how you accidentally buy a violin!

Today was the last full day that it'll be just the little's and I. Tomorrow is the last of school for the big's and it's a half day! The little's and I decided to party it up one last time, before we'll have to include the big's in on our fun. We went to the park.......

I see you!…

Rather grandly, I think, I promised y’all that this blog would concern itself with our nomadic life, and so far it really hasn’t.  I’m starting to feel like a sailor who has lived among the land-lubbers too long, frankly.  We moved overseas in 2002 for the first time, and did three posts of three years each in different countries.  Well, the kiddos and I only did a year and a half in the last one: Matamoros, Mexico.  When drug violence got bad there, Honey selflessly sent us to Austin,…
