Hi everyone, I know it have been a while. I have thought about writing on so many occasions and have just never gotten around to it. Things are going great for the family and me, here in the Midwest. We got our car paid off in October. Now we are trying to save to replace the second one. We know we don't want another car payment. The kids and I are keeping busy with home schooling. Ian is 5 now

As you read this post, keep in my mind my reasons for starting this blog. In really life I am a quiet person until I get to know you. I have lived in Iowa just over a year now and still don't feel any really bonds with the woman around me. I use this blog as an outlet. Sometimes, I will type things like nobody is watching.  In response to today's 31 days to love post, I do feel like I am I kind

I remember the day that I met my husband like it was yesterday. We worked together. I had the job before he did, so I remember him walking in the building with his tie and brief case. In the beginning, I didn't even talk to him all the much. I did introduce myself to him and we discussed work stuff. That was about it. Several months later, his friends started hanging out with my friends. We had

I crocheted this for my android tablet. I wanted something different. I didn't want to just go buy a leather case. this one is way more fun. I even bought a blinged out button to close it. You can't see it very well in the picture, but it is prettier than it looks. I haven't had time to do a lot of projects lately. I have a hat that I was planning on getting done this week and I haven't

Yup, I stole my title from the movie. Last post was a song, now a movie. I will be original one day, but not today. I am going to tie Tuesday's challenge in with today's. That one was about captivating my husband. I need to be able to do this before I can pursue him. I have been working on a few things that I think will help. One of the main ones is to get dressed, fully, before he gets home

Does anyone remember that song from the early 90s by R. Kelly? I used to love that song. That is how I feel about my husband. He is my everything. We have been together for almost 15 years and married for almost 13 of them. We have always been friends first. We share everything with each other. This is probably not believable, but we have never gotten into a fight. We have disagreed on certain

It doesn't sound like it would be a difficult challenge at all. There are days that I go through, especially being a mom, where it's not so easy. I am joining this challenge to improve my love towards others, especially during those trying times. It is being hosted by Time-Warp Wife. In today's challenge, we were instructed to read 1 Corinthians 13. It is the chapter on love. Love is a lot of

I have learned a lot this week. I need to take better care of myself and to take life or people for granted. I was officially diagnosed with asthma this week. I am on two different medicines. One is for everyday use and the other is for emergencies. I've know that I had issues for a while, but it was always something that I could deal with on my own. Now, that I am getting older things aren't so

It looks like the dog days of summer are over. I air in the house has been off for a couple of days and the windows are open. at some points during the day, I have to put a blanket over my legs. I have one on right now. I am happy that the weather is cooler, but it is just a sign that winter is around the corner. I am not looking forward to the snow. Oh well, that is what we signed up for when

I have been working on making some more hats for the family. When the wind blows, it is pretty cold. I made another beanie for John and he said that wasn't warm enough. I found another pattern that I want to do for him that has a closer stitch. It should be a lot warmer. I just finished this one for Jonaya last night. I think she likes it. She can stay fashionable and warm at the same time.

I have been neglecting my poor blog. It has been a long time since I have been in here. My family and I have gone through a lot of changes. All for the good, I am happy to say. We are no longer living in that wonderful home in Georgia. We decided to go on this great adventure and seek out a new opportunity in the Midwest. We have been here for two and a half months and love it! It is a lot

Last week, I had the best salad of my life and there wasn't even that much in it. Jonaya and I picked some of the leaf lettuce that we have been growing. We picked a few radishes to stick in there, but that was for John. He is the only one in the family who likes radishes. We also picked some parsley to add some more flavor since the other vegetables aren't even close to being ready. As you

I am so excited. I am officially an Avon Representative. I can sell locally and online. I really like the convenience of the online part with my busy life. When I originally wanted to do this, I just wanted a side business or "hobby." Now I want to build a solid business and have a wide customer base. This means that I want you, your momma, your grandmother, cousins, nieces, etc. I am committed

Continuing from where I left, we are still in the back yard. This is where we are going to put the carrots and onions. We filled most of it with compost. Now we are just waiting to buy some top soil. A friend gave us this raised bed, so we wanted to put it to good use. Here is the left side of the garden. The first row are some seed potatoes that we planted. It is already starting to grow

Last year I discovered my new love for gardening. I never thought that it would be something that I would enjoy. I figured that maybe I would set a flower pot out here and there and that would be the extent of it.Since the weather has finally warmed up, we have been busy trying to get the soil ready for planting. One of my long term goals is to feed my family from the garden 90% of the time.

Back in the fall I had decided to grow my hair back natural. I have been chemically straightening it since I was a kid, so that is all I knew.Well, the last time that I straightened it was back in November. Since then I have been braiding it and wearing hair pieces. I started getting tired of the hair pieces and yesterday, I was going to go out and buy a new one. Then I decided, why spend the

My husband had gotten some free tables off of Craigslist. It is pretty heavy wood and still usable. The only problem was the had a Pit Bull puppy that had chewed the side of the coffee table. It did look terrible and I wish I remembered to take a before picture. Well, let's not focus on where we came from. Let's just focus on where we ae going.When I originally got the tables I figured there had

This is actually a Christmas present from my daughter. Sorry, it's not the greatest picture. As you can see, I didn't drink my coffee before I took the picture.Jonaya is seven and never once has she given me anything that has said mom on it. So, this is the first thing that I own. Not only did I get the cup, it was filled with coffee flavored candy.I had another favorite cup until this one. Now

I am starting to pick up my needles, again. I used to love to crochet and still do. I haven't really had the heart to work on anything for the past year. One person got a crocheted gift over the holidays and that is not like me.What burnt me was I was working on two long cardigan sweaters with a hood for two sisters. I got the first one finished and the second one is almost done. I didn't get all

I started school with Jonaya yesterday. The first two days have gone quite well. It has come together a lot easier than I thought it would. I get her up early (7 am) and once she is fed and dressed, we get started. We are done with everything thing at noon. Which I love. Ok, well I am done at noon. If she fools around and doesn't get something done, she has to finish it up on her own time before

We haven't been doing much in the garden during these super summer hot days. I'm already looking forward to the cooler months.I have lots of good and bad news from what has been happening in the last couple of weeks.I was so excited because we had lots of cantaloupe growing.

Yeah, yeah...I know it's been a month since I have blogged. We went on vacation and when we go back there was so much on my mind that I didn't know what to write about. Does that make sense?I guess I just needed a break from everything. As of Monday, I start homeschooling and all of the other activities will be starting up, so I just wanted to enjoy the month of July. Focus on getting my house

I have always thought that I was the only one not going to the big homeschool conventions and buying the most expensive curriculum for my kids.I

I had fun, but I'm glad it's over.I'm a day late on How does your garden grow, but I just didn't have the energy.First of all, I don't know what I was thinking wanting to start a container garden. It is so hard to keep that stuff watered in this Georgia weather. The bamboo is dead. It didn't look too hot from last

I am so excited! I have lots of great new plants to share. I did a little shopping this weekend. Here is my front porch. This is just a shot of the left side, I also have pots on the right. It’s all the same, though. The blue pot is delphinium. It has these pretty lilac blooms. All of the small pots around it is wildflowers. I had gotten a Mother’s Day card, last year, that you can plant.

Last night was the kick off for our 6-week long Chillville at church. It’s where the woman get together for fellowship, fun, and to hear a great lesson. It was an eye-opener. We talked about what is in a name. There meanings and even nicknames.  We were asked several questions, like if we liked our names. How they make us feel? If we could change our name what would we change it to and why?

At this point, I will be ecstatic to get anything out of the garden after the way it looking a week ago.This is the cucumbers!Here is the zucchini.Since I live in the south, there is still time to replant the beans and peas. We plan on doing that on Sunday. John has has a crazy week at work, but that is

What motivates a person? What keeps them motivated? When working on ongoing projects, how do you stay consistent when you are not motivated?I don't know what is wrong with me. I have my good days and my bad. I actually started off pretty good today. I did my little Flylady routine and got the dishes caught up. I even started working on laundry. Since then, dinner dishes are still in the sink.

I was so proud of what we had accomplished just a week ago. Now, I'm afraid that we may not get much of anything this year. We have gotten so much rain that the soil couldn't keep up. When you walk out there you are ankle deep in mud. My husband, John tried to dig trenches. It looked like things were drying up and then it rained again. We are supposed to get more rain today. So far, we have lost

This was our garden a few weeks ago (about 1 month) when we first had it tilled. We were so excited because the soil was so rich and it has the perfect combination of dirt and sand. We rushed out and bought seeds, so we could get them in the ground. We did already have some tomatoes, cabbage, and peppers growing in one of those plastic green houses that you buy at Wal-mart. I had planned on the

Do you ever feel like that lost puzzle piece or the extra screws that come with furniture and serve no purpose? A lot of times that is the way I fell about my life. I'm 33, yeah...I know, and I have no clue what I have been put on this earth for. I don't really have any talents and I don't feel like I fit in anywhere. I try to find people with common interests and that is all it ends up being, a

My poor little girl had her heart broken yesterday. I felt so bad for her. I knew exactly how she felt because I was so used to rejection when I was a kid. She, on the other hand, is not used to it.What happened was, Jonaya made a new friend down the street from our house on Friday. They didn't get to play much because both families had busy weekends. She came by yesterday to see if Jonaya can

I've been following this program for about a year now and I still want to lose another 50 pounds or so. I've been fooling around and making excuses on why I couldn't do it. This has been going on since before the holidays. Enough is enough, right? I have done great so far, I have lost 30 pounds and kept it off. I just need to focus on that final lap. You can see it in my face. This was me before.

I have been doing this challenge for a few weeks, now and it's really fun. Basically, all you have to do is see how much you can get without spending more than $5 out of pocket.

Here is one of my favorite pictures of John and Jonaya. This was back in 2003. It was Jonaya's first trip to the beach. I will never forget that day. Most husbands don't cook or clean. I'm a stay at home mom and mine does both. He just takes the bull by the horns and does what needs to be done. Back in December, before Christmas, John went shopping on his own. He bought all of the gifts for the

Becoming a mother is one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me. Even though it is a tough job, I enjoy what I do. Jonaya, my 6 year old, is becoming a little lady. It's so cute when we are sitting at the dinner table and I can see her from the corner of my eye trying to imitate me. That is such a big job. I have a lot to live up to. I can't believe the lord trusted me with such a

I thinks it's just a natural born instinct for us to judge and compare with those around us. From when we are children we make sure we get everything that our sibling is getting. It has to be the same amount. No more no less. If this doesn't happen we make sure that or objections are heard. Sometimes we get our way and other times we are not so lucky. As we grow up and become teenagers we have to

In the eyes of the world, it is not our relationship with Jesus Christ that counts; it is our resemblance to him!When you read the quote above, especially the last part of the quote, do you agree with the author or disagree? Why did you answer the way you did?Well, when I initially read that. I totally agreed. Now, I have a mixed opinion.I'm sure you have heard the saying, "you can't please

I was able to reorganize my notebook. Once I sat down and looked it over, I could have been doing a lot of the activities that were in there. The simple things like shining my sink and emptying the dishwasher every morning. I had no excuse. So, now everything is done aside from adding in my emergency information. I hope to get that information put in in the next week or so. I just wanted to get

Ok, I have gotten a few reader comments about home organization. I've been putting if off and putting it off. I figured, now it's time to get back on track and hold myself accountable. My first step will be to organize my Flylady control journal. You can print out your own at http://flylady.net/pages/cjmain.asp She goes through it step by step to get your own going.

Yesterday was a good day. I went shopping for myself! Whoa, that was just so weird. I didn't know what to buy. I had a gift certificate since Mother's Day from my grandmother. It was for Dress Barn. So, I had to use it on myself. She knows me too well. I knew that I'd better use it since Mother's Day is coming up again and she will be here next month. They had such pretty dresses in there, but

No, not really. It just seems that way because I'm still not used to having so many rooms. I love my new house, though. We are slowly finding out that it's going to be a lot more work than we thought it would be. I'm impatient and I like instant gratification. We moved into an older house and it needs some cosmetic fixing up. We have already been here for 2 months and I thought I would have seen

I'm sorry, that I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. I really did want to, but spent the whole day in the backyard getting it ready for a garden. I mentioned in my previous post that I had a bad day on Monday (4/13). I would like to go back and express some of my feelings. I was feeling a lot of pressure from not being able to meet all of my responsibilities. It's amazing how the lord works

You are probably thinking, "graceful feet, what?" Well, I want this blog to cover all aspects of my life. My goal is to be able to walk through all things with grace and dignity. Hence the name, "Graceful feet." I was also a dance major in college and left that life to become a mom and wife.The reason that I decided to start this blog is because I had a really bad day yesterday and I need
