Teaching myself to sew
Be the first to comment
I bought a sewing machine a month ago in hopes that I would teach myself to sew. When I first bought it I cut up a few old shirts and made cloth baby wipes. Quite simple but for someone who has NEVER touched a sewing machine it was a starting point. I tucked it away shortly after and hadn't touched it since. That is until last night.
I'm determined to teach myself to sew and I will never learn if it just sits there. So I grabbed my bag of old t-shirts, sewing box, and of course the sewing machine and got to work. I followed a tutorial online and tore up one of my...

Pregnancy and plans (some information for those who may be uninsured) *UPDATE IN BLUE*
Comments (1) First of all we are THRILLED and so thankful that God has blessed us with this little baby. We pray that everything will go smoothly and healthy. I tend to enjoy every moment of this pregnancy. I am sure there will be moments of the "ugh" but having a husband and family members who are just so excited is such a blessing and makes me feel special.
I have noticed here on cafemom that there are a lot of moms who are pregnant without insurance and they are lost as to what they need to do. I am one of those moms that has health insurance, but it's a private policy without a maternity...

Aloha from Hawaii
Comments (1) It's Friday morning here; 4:30 to be exact. Our bodies are still used to the Tennessee time zone where it is 9:30. We arrived in beautiful Maui at 3:30 Hawaiian time. Maui's day was still in full swing when our bodies are usually getting ready to shut down for the night.
We met up with Brian's brother and his kids, who instantly all clung to me and began calling me "auntie". I look forward to spoiling them rotten. Precious kids! I plan on taking plenty of pictures and posting them here as soon as we get a chance. Right now I just wanted to let everyone know we survived the 10...

Boys and growth spurts
Comments (2) My son is 7. At this particular moment he is going through a growth spurt. How do I know this? 1: his jeans are starting to get a little snug and short. 2: he is eating me out of house and home.
Growing up, I always heard that phrase "eating me out of house and home" and I never believed it, until now. I'm big on whole, organic and natural foods in our house and I know the food I am feeding this boy is well-rounded, healthy and filling. So it's not like I am feeding him processed garbage that makes you crave more and more.....even when you are not hungry. He...

I've learned something....
Comments (4)I've learned that I hate being corrected. I am sure most people do, but I get absolutely defensive when I am being corrected. UGH!
My boss fussed at me today for not answering all calls by the second ring. I guess politness needs to go out the window in order for me to do this.
*SIGH*

Parents, learn to discipline your child(ren)
Comments (2)Quit being a lazy parent!
My blood is boiling just thinking about how disrespectful children have become today. These kids didn't just wake up one day and decide to go against every law-abiding rule. These kids learned it somewhere and that somewhere is in his/her own home. When you allow your child to show such disrespect to you, the parent, how do you expect them to grow up and become productive citizens in society?
My child is FAR from perfect. He is a very, very strong-willed child, but I will never tolerate him to show such disrespect to me or to any other person. Especially adults....

Jesus is Enough!
Comments (1)Isn't Jesus Enough?, by Phil Ware Why isn't Jesus enough for us? Oh, in our religious speak we say thatJesus is enough, but you scratch beneath our surface, you look at ourculture in churchland, you see that many of us don't really mean it --or at least most of us haven't been brave enough to try it. Aren't you being a little tough on us, Phil? Maybe, but I don't thinkso. And remember, if I'm pointing a finger at "us," then I've also gotthree fingers pointing back at me! So let's be honest with ourselves.If Jesus were enough for us then why do we ... * Crave and spend to get what's new?Why...

Feelings, emotions....whatever you want to call it
Comments (1)Last night, after a surprise bridal shower from our home fellowship group, I had this heaviness inside that made me realize just how unworthy I am of all that God has blessed me with. I have such wonderful friends that have helped in so many ways with this wedding and most importantly with my walk with Christ. There are words that I am unable to utter to tell these wonderful friends how great they are. How they have helped in ways that have made my heart sing and cry in complete thankfulness.
This past week at church was our Mission's week. While we didn't get to...
