    Singing Sisters

    As many of you know, we’re taking a much anticipated (and much needed) vacation at the ocean in North Carolina.  All ten Jonases love the ocean.  We spend hours and hours in the water and on the sand. We do come into the house periodically to eat and sleep, but that’s about it. Due to Hurricane…

  • Bringing in the Hay

    Bringing in the Hay

    Many of you remember Farmer Frazier, our 80+ year old neighbor who supplies us with our hay from his hay field. Normally, he just brings us one or two bales at a time, but this year, he decided to bring them all down at once. This took quite a lot of time and required the…

  • The Kids Today

    The Kids Today

    When I was Jade’s age, there were no personal computers. There were no cell phones or iPods or iPads. There weren’t even any VCR’s, let alone Blu-Ray players. The children are all very adept with modern technology, but I guess I didn’t realize how much until this week on vacation. I brought my iPad with…

    Snuggle Time

    Early tomorrow morning we leave for a two week vacation.  We are all very excited. Really. Really. Excited! But I think Jade is just a little bit sad that Ginger won’t be coming with us. If you don’t know, Ginger is Jade’s cat that thinks she’s a dog.  She’s very patient and loving with Jade.…

  • Outside Exercise

    Outside Exercise

    The weather here has been gorgeous lately. (Nope, hurricane Irene didn’t reach us here in Indiana.) We’ve had hot days, cooler nights, and low humidity. We took advantage of the lovely weather to exercise outside. I thought you’d enjoy watching part of our “sprint 8” session. We basically sprint for 30 seconds then walk for…

  • Why Can’t I Go Outside?

    Why Can’t I Go Outside?

    Everybody on the Jonas homestead has a job to do, from the adults, to the children, to the animals. It’s pretty obvious what the goats are responsible for, but we also have cats that are responsible for mouse control. We have indoor cats and we have outdoor cats and they patrol their respective domains. The…

    A Swirling Masterpiece

    Indigo wanted me to show everybody the amazing job she did swirling the patchouli soap that her Daddy made: Doesn’t it look beautiful? I don’t have a photo of her swirling it, because she was finished and gone by the time I got the camera out to the soap room. But, she’s really getting very…

    Goat Care

    I was headed out to the soap room today, but when I spotted Jade, I had to run back inside and grab my camera. Apparently she was concerned about the goats being thirsty. They have an automatic waterer, but we keep this bucket for when it is extra hot.  Jade filled it up with fresh,…

  • Lake Fun

    Lake Fun

    The other day I got an email inviting the family to come swim at a local lake with some friends. The invite was last minute (the way I like them), so I told her we would try. I gathered the children together and made a big announcement that we could go swimming at the lake…

    Disobeying Daddy

    Indigo and Jade have been having difficulty keeping their room clean lately. It’s been causing Brett a lot of despair because she cleans it and they wreck it. So she cleans it. And then they wreck it. Yesterday, Jim told the girls they had to stay in their room and clean it. He was very…

  • To The Ship!

    To The Ship!

    On our recent trip to St. Louis, we had to stop at a rest stop. Whenever we stop, the children always run around and stretch their legs. If we’re in a parking lot, without a safe place to run, we just do 50 jumping jacks as a family. It’s usually quite a spectacle, and yes,…

    Sorry, You Can’t Come

    As you can imagine, packing up a family of ten for a trip is never an easy exercise. Remember when we had to pack to visit both sets of grandparents in Florida and New Hampshire?  That one was definitely the most difficult. Fortunately, packing for our recent St. Louis trip with our Fox2 Interview was…

  • Modern Technology

    Modern Technology

    I enjoy modern technology in moderation. Actually, I really enjoy modern technology for myself and the business, but I’m pretty picky about it when it comes to the children. As a general rule, they’re not allowed to watch television. Movies are ok, just not tv shows. Although as with everything, I always reserve the right…

    Swimming

    My children adore swimming, but for some reason, we haven’t had a chance to swim once this summer. So we packed the children up… … and we rectified that today!             Jade kept coming up to me every 2 minutes and giving me the little hopeful look and saying, “Mom…

    King of the Bath Bombs

    Many of you watched Indigo’s video about her promotion to printing the postage for internet orders. Hewitt wanted to know why I never posted the video about his job wrapping the bath bombs. I had taken this video not long before we decided to discontinue the bath bombs in favor of the bath fizzies, so…
