Fallen off the wagon!

February got to be a crazy month and I fell off the photo a day wagon.  I'm going to try and pick back up from here but I will include a few of the pics that I did get taken during the last month.


The end of January brought about our first speech/debate tournament of the season up in SC.  3 of my girls participated in it.  My 2nd oldest won a debate speaker award for the first time!

The week after returning we received some additions to our feathered flock.  We had ordered 15 pullets but 2 arrived dead and we lost 2 more by the end of the next day.  The other 11 are doing well.

My sweet youngest daughter is just like her older sisters with a book in her hand.  I have to say they get it honestly as I was the same way as a child.

The middle of the month we celebrated 2 15th birthdays.  I can't believe they are getting so big!!!

That same week was a wild one as I hosted 7 ladies from around the country and Canada.  I made 7 trips to the airport which is an hour away that week.  We stayed in cabins at an old Girl Scout camp near my house.  I actually stayed there a few times as a girl scout.  Problem was we had some of the coldest weather of the winter that weekend which wasn't really what the northern ladies were looking for during a visit to Florida.  It was a great weekend though!!

This is my pic from today.  It is the gift that the afore mentioned ladies sent me for hostessing.  I can't wait to use them and remember my sweet friends!!

Day 29 Photo Challenge

I have a habit of looking outside as soon as I get up in the mornings. This morning it was very foggy, which isn't unusual where we live.  This was the full moon making its way through the fog.

Day 28 Photo Challenge

My girls gave me a new jewelry holder for Christmas.  I love being able to see all my earrings at one glance and not having to dig through boxes anymore.  Being able to color coordinate is a bonus.

Day 26 Photo Challenge

Mmmm, one of the best burgers around.  Five Guys cheeseburger with grilled onions (McDonald's - this is how a grilled onion cheeseburger should look!!)

Day 25 Photo Challenge


 I love to see my girls getting along together and this picture of my oldest and youngest playing a game together makes my heart sing.  I pray they continue their sweet relationship well into their adult lives!

Day 24 Photo Challenge




My youngest is part of a science co-op. My role for the last few months is to teach the younger siblings. Today we learned about frogs and this is the craft we made. Very adorable!

Day 23 Photo Challenge

Tonight's dinner was thrown together soup because I wasn't feeling well this morning so I didn't get anything out of the freezer.  It actually turned out very good and was filling when eaten with a baked potato.  All I did was put some chicken broth with some canned chicken and added cut up carrots, fresh tomatoes and some half & half along with seasoning.
