~The realtor took pretty nice pictures considering how much we didn't get to before she came. She mercifully didn't get shots of the sewing corner(the only corner you won't see in the kitchen shots),the closet interiors or the packed shed. We've since put in a lot more work and still have more...

These are my newest homestead additions. We have our chickens still too, in fact we got two more chicken chicks this last week I forgot to photograph

Ok, so as many know I have put in a resume, and was contacted back about it. That was about a week ago. I am super excited about this job and would love to "land it" so to speak. I don't wanna say it out loud (or type) for fear of jinxing it. It's at home call center work. Which I have done...

We are putting a 24 foot camper in our yard for our 18 almost 19-year-old for a "home-away-from-home" for when he and dh are fighting or when ds is having "issues" and I'd like to decorate it as frugally as possible.

Why are people so mean and rude these days? I have been running my friends shop for a few months now. She is unable to do it. I have no choice but to bring my kids. If I can't bring the kids, the store has to close. I had the rudest woman today.. She was nasty to my kids and myself. They...

Did anyone see this guy on Tv this morning? I love his message and I love that he doesn't look like a banker that's out of touch. Plus he's been there and makes that part of the message. The crazy shirt and earring, hopefully makes him approachable. I think that's why Dave Ramsey is so popular...

So, I have not been able to pound it through my 13 year old sons thick skull for 3 weeks to get his freakin pigsty (also known as his room) cleaned!!
