FMD, an Update!
I had been doing so well at posting every day! But I did two the day before, and two today, so that makes up for missing posting yesterday, ya? Ya. I don’t care what you say, it does. So NYAH! So Family Morning Devotions. (Du duh duh…) We’re still doing them! A whole week! Woohoo! Go us. Ok, Go God, …

This is probably one of those “you had to be there” moments…
I’m going to try to relate something that happened this evening. I want to share it, because I don’t think I have EVER laughed so hard – I’m just not positive I have the ability to relay the events in a manner that will translate the humor. Here goes. Earlier this evening, we all sat around the table having dinner. …

Possibly the most frugal fun we’ve had.
Hubs and I ran in to Walgreens earlier to pick up a prescription, and noticed they had these collapsible thermal lunch bags for 2.99/each. We’ve been looking for ways to save money, and have heard our children complaining frequently about how much they hate school lunch. 2 birds, 1 stone. So we bought 3 bags, since we only have three …

FMD, Day 4. Who isn’t getting it?
I woke up this morning feeling really and truly awful. I’ve had a cold for a few days now, and I have so much pain in my sinuses, it makes my teeth hurt. When my alarm went off at 5:50 this morning, I hit snooze, knowing I could “afford” at least one snooze, but really wanting to turn the alarm …

FMD (Family Morning Devotions), Day 3
Today was much more sucessful than yesterday! Despite the fact that today was the official real start of school for the three older kids, and despite the fact that I had to leave for an all day meeting shortly after 8 AM, we got it done! I planned a little better last night, and had the devotion for today printed …

Family Morning Devotions, Day 2
Today was FAILdAY! School officially started today, and while we DID end up doing our devotions before the kids went to school, it wasn’t the way I had intended. Hubs fixed something on my phone last night, and somehow it messed up my alarm, so rather than getting up at 5:50, I got up at 7:05 when the baby woke …

Family Morning Devotions: Day 1
I’ve felt for awhile that along with the change that homeschool would bring, I wanted to create a more structured “morning routine” for our family that included a specific time for a morning devotion and prayer time before everybody went off to their days. With school about to start, this morning was our trial run. We got to bed later …
