  • Stirring the Soup (I Mean Sauce)

    Stirring the Soup (I Mean Sauce)

    I’ve talked many times about my Youngest Person Rule. It basically says that the youngest person capable of doing a job does it. The corollary is that when you’ve taught one of your younger siblings how to do your job, they can take it over and you can get a new job. One of the…

  • What A Charmer

    What A Charmer

    We’ve spent the weekend selling soap at the Stewart Christmas Show here in Louisville.  The children all take shifts working at the booth selling soap.  If you’ve never seen my children in action, I have to admit that they are natural born salesmen. People tell us all the time that we’ve done a great job…

  • The Importance of Free Wi-Fi

    The Importance of Free Wi-Fi

    We love living in the country. There is only one problem – the lack of high speed internet. Right now we have satellite internet, which is better than dial-up. Most of the time. The biggest problem is when we have several days of stormy weather, like we’ve had. So what’s an entrepreneurial family with a thriving business  that requires…

    Now I Understand!

    Warning: Santa spoiler alert! Not for all young eyes!! Not only is it the holiday season, which is our busiest time of year. But we recently got news that we are going to be in the January edition of Oprah magazine. So we’re trying not to get too low on any of our inventory. But…

    Dayton Television Interview

    My brother, Adam, is in the Air Force. A few years ago we were so excited when he finally got stationed in the midwest, about four hours from us. We took the opportunity to start spending Thanksgiving together. Two years ago, it was at his house. Last year it was at my house. Which meant…

    Our First 5K

    Our home church decided to run a “Race for Grace” 5K to help support a new local Christian school. It was the Jonas family’s first ever 5K. I’d like to say that we trained, but… We didn’t. But we weren’t too unprepared. The boys all run and Jim and I walk together a lot. The three…

    Flag Football

    My camera keeps disappearing. And then I find all sorts of photos on the disk that I did not take. Recently I discovered this group of flag football photos. Brett is actually taking some really good photos. Unfortunately she takes hundreds of them to get those good shots. And guess who gets to sort through…

    Hiking

    The day after Thanksgiving, we had a choice to make – go shopping for Black Friday sales  or… Go hiking in Sugar Creek Metro Park in Dayton, Ohio with my brother and his family. It was a very easy decision. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day spent with family.  It was a day that…

    Picking Apples

    If you have been reading this blog for a while, you probably know that every year we go apple picking! We have gone every year that I can remember. We always have a lot of fun, as you can see in this post from 2010, and this post from 2007.  I could not find blog…

    Second Choice

    A couple of weeks ago, the family went apple picking. When we got there, I took the little girls to the bathroom and Jim sent Colter to find out what kinds of apples were available for picking (fuji apples are our favorite ones to pick). Colter returned with the news that there were no more…

  • Eight of Them

    The three girls were snuggling in bed with us this morning. Indigo was with me and Brett and Jade snuggled with Jim. Jade: “Dad, you have one child.” Dad: “What about Brett?” Jade: “ok, you have two kids, but that’s all.” Dad: “Their names are Brettcoleemeryfletcher and Greyhewittindigojade.” Jade: “No! Just Jade and Brett.” Indigo:…

    Who Taught You That?

    We were snuggling in bed this morning and Indigo was wearing these pajamas: She sat up, looked at Jim, and pointed at her backside. Indigo: “Dad, what is the fancy name for this?” Jim (perplexed): “A frog?” Indigo (shaking her head): “No, the fancy name for this?” (more pointing) Jim: “What’s the fancy name for…

    Watermelon Football

    We have a great garden in Indiana. One of the things that grow very well for us each year is watermelon. As much as we love our watermelons, I admit I was a little surprised when Jim decided to bring one of our homegrown watermelons with us on vacation to North Carolina. But I didn’t…
