Ta da—I finally got the photos edited. There are a ton. I couldn’t get one good photo of the whole room so I just went around taking shots of everything. For those of you who have had the privilege of using my old ugly bathroom, you wouldn’t recognize the place. I don’t have any good [...]
Well, lots of reasons. I read her blogs before she started Money Saving Mom so I just followed her. She’s been a behind the scenes encourager to me for a long time and I just appreciate how sweet she is. I totally love all the deals and coupons she posts and here’s the purpose of [...]
I saw this on The Common Room’s blog and thought I’d give it a try. 1. What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before? I learned to make soap. I enjoy it and I love the homemade soap. I don’t think it’s going to be the craft that takes over my life. [...]
I mentioned yesterday that we enjoyed our quiet Christmas. We definitely did. Thursday, Lee and I spent some time together. Friday it was just James and I.

Lee’s job has been going well. At first his boss favored him and treated him nicer than the other guys. That quickly wore off. Lee said his boss’ moods swing wildly. He’s all smiles, then he’s yelling and furious and then back to Mr. Nice Guy. Lee pretty much ignores his moods and goes about [...]
I went to visit Lee on Christmas Eve. The visiting room was decorated. A tree stood in the corner its lights twinkling brightly. A toy train chugged around the base,happily unaware of its location. The air was full of the sounds of people in a festive mood. Lots of loud talking, laughter, and smiles. There [...]
Robin at Pensieve shared her thoughts after ministering at a prison during Christmas. I wanted to point you to her posts again. I appreciated her thoughts. Reality Check part 1 part 2 part 3
I made them a little bigger than I probably should have. Next time I’ll follow the pattern better! Aren’t they so cute? The color is a bit off because I took them at night but you can get the idea. I am so proud of my new sock knitting skill! I did decide that it’s [...]
