  • I Love my Nook

    I Love my Nook

    I think Mom already told you I got a Nook for Christmas from Grandma.  I was SO excited (still am).  I had wanted one, but never thought that I would get one.  Mom kept it a big secret.  I did think I might be getting one when I saw that Mom and I had the…

  • Spaghetti Sauce?

    Spaghetti Sauce?

    Jim and I were working hard the other night and I was late for making dinner. My darling daughter came out and announced that dinner would be ready in 10 minutes. I was so proud of her that she knew I was running late and took the initiative to make dinner all on her own.…

  • Karaoke Jonas Style

    Karaoke Jonas Style

    My children love to sing. Actually, Jim and I love to sing too. We do quite a lot of it while we’re working in the soap room. I had the brilliant idea to get a karaoke machine for Christmas. It’s been a huge hit (much to Jim’s annoyance sometimes LOL). I thought I’d share some…

  • The Magic Word

    The Magic Word

    Yesterday, Hewitt came into the living room where Jim and I were. He went up to Jim and was clearly upset about something. He started to complain and yell about something that had happened. He said something like, “Somebody poked me in the eye, and it was Col…” But he was immediately cut off by Jim…

  • Read Alouds

    Read Alouds

    OK, I’m about to admit to a very juvenile action on my part. But what can I say? I’m human. LOL It was a couple of weeks before Christmas and my mom called. She told me what she had gotten for all the boys and the little girls. Then she said, “I haven’t gotten Brett…

  • I Think It Was…

    Mom got us the board game Clue for Christmas, and the boys have not stopped playing it since. They get up early and play it. They play it in the afternoon, and they play it in the evening. It is a lot of fun when the oldest five play.We have each picked the players that we…

  • Thoughts on our Hotel

    Thoughts on our Hotel

    We stayed at the Country Inn & Suites for almost a full week while we were in Pennsylvania selling soap at the PA Christmas show. We’ve stayed at lots of different hotels since we started doing shows and festivals. The children decided this was their favorite hotel. They loved the pool and hot tub (of…

  • Pizza Challenge

    Pizza Challenge

    Remember the pizza place my brother took us to that had the huge pizzas? Well, when we were there, the boys saw this sign: They talked about that pizza challenge for an entire year. So when we went back, Colter and Emery talked Uncle Adam into doing the pizza challenge with them. They took it…

  • Recording Audio

    Recording Audio

    We had a bit of difficulty with the audio recording of our Christmas video. We had three different recording sessions to try to get it right. I thought everyone would get a kick out of watching some of the bloopers Jim managed to record:  

  • Almost Christmas

    Almost Christmas

    We love the fact that our business is growing. But it has interfered with some of our Christmas traditions. At the very least, it has pushed many of them back from the first half of December to the second half of December. For example, we finally got our tree up this week. We could have…

  • A Momentous Occasion

    A Momentous Occasion

    It’s finally happened… The moment that every mother dreads hopes for… Colter is now taller than me! Jim decided you may not be able to tell for sure, so he took this picture: As I keep telling Colter, being taller than me, isn’t a very big accomplishment. LOL  But still it’s a milestone in a…

  • Indigo Has a Crush

    Indigo is in love… with her cousin Sage… and our friend, Samuel. It is pretty funny watching her with Samuel. She jumps on him, gives him hugs, begs him to carry her everywhere, and cries when he leaves. She is always asking me when he is coming again. Sam is very musical and plays the…
