Jillian has RSV again…the bronchoiltis (viral bronchitis). Once she got it as an infant (which for some infants can be deadly) we were told she’d battle it all the time…and possibly until she’s 5 or 6. Well, she had it in December…and now again.
We’re just making her comfortable…taking breathing treatments…cough syrup and [...]

Jillian just came up to me and said, “Mama, I have an idea…”
She showed me a polished river rock and said, “I have this rock….and I’ll keep it in my pocket to keep it from getting cold….OK?”
I paused a minute and she said, “Mama, TALK TO ME!!!”
So I said, “What Jillian? What is your idea?” [...]

Super-fresh, Crunchy Mommy Cook… What the heck?This entry came from RealcookN.tv

I have made the decision that 2008 will be a much better year for my family as far as eating is concerned. Not only will we eat better, but we’ll be more mindful of what we’re eating and how often.
I can’t tell [...]

Well, we decided after a week of the girls not going to sleep before 11 p.m. that it was time for them to go back to their separate rooms. I think this will be a much better workable situation for EVERYONE.
So…here are pictures of Jillian’s SEMI-FINISHED room. I am going to paint [...]

Tonight the girls wanted me to tell the story of Moses. So…I did. I told about the burning bush all the way to the receiving of the 10 Commandments.
After I was done, Jillian looked into my eyes (I was holding her and rocking her) and said, “Uh…Mom…you have the story all wrong. [...]

Today we went and pre-registered Jayna for Kindergarten at a Christian School. What a HUGE peace we felt as we went!! We’ve been praying about where to put Jayna for Kindergarten and we felt the Spirit leading us away from Public School since the schools in G.P. aren’t very good. We’ve heard [...]

It’s been hard for Jillian to adjust to her big girl bed. Not so much as having a hard time sleeping, but just staying in her bed at first is a challenge because she knows she can get in and out by herself.
We have a stool to help her in and out of [...]

Today is Day 3 in teaching Jillian the Pledge of Alligiance. I’ve been saying phrases and having her repeat me. She’s doing so well even with the big words.
After I videoed her repeating me, she decided to go teach her Sister how to say the pledge. While Jayna told her she already knew how, Jillian [...]

Last night, Dave and I were gathering up the bills that need to be paid, we had a $100 bill on the counter to use towards one of those bills. We noticed that the $100 was gone…and I searched until almost midnight looking for that money. No luck.
This morning as Dave was gathering [...]

My days are usually hectic and filled with activity…whether at home or away. Most of the time, I have many errands I have to do during the week (parties, bill paying, shopping, etc.) and since I work two days a week, my life can be crazy.
During the Christmas holiday, we were at Gramma’s for [...]
