… a day of labor! I woke up this morning disgusted with the cleanliness of my house. I am a very organized person and I HATE clutter. I simply have too many children to have too many things. So I spend the majority of my cleaning time organizing and putting things away. (And throwing out…

The other week we got 9 cases of plums from Mr. McCrary. (Yes, 9 cases). I didn’t have time to put them up, so I gave them all away… (happy sigh). But then, I got another 3 cases, and I figured God was trying to tell me something. So, even though it has been crazy…

We spent the day driving around selling soap. It was quite a successful day, too! 😀 At one of the stops we let the children out…

I’ve never been addicted to nail polish. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because when I was a kid I stole a bottle of nail polish. I didn’t get caught. But I felt SO GUILTY I went and confessed to my mom. She made me bring it back to the store and apologize to the…
