Photoshoot.

Today I did a little photo shoot with the girls. I got quite a few shots. So I picked out my favorites to share with you all. Their grandma bought the dress. Sooo cute! Enjoy!

Coupons!

Dear Family and Friends, I need your coupons!
Yes I am becoming one of those crazy coupon people. Hehe It should be interesting. But I need your help. If you just happen to pickup a weekend newspaper of any kind, save those coupons for me! You can mail them to me or just give them to me when we see each other next. I would really really appreciate it.


On another note. Tonight it is going to freeze so I had to cover up my plants. I still havent been able to plant anymore. The dirt remains in the back of the truck. Maybe while Liv is sleeping tomorrow I can get out there and get busy. Its hard to work outside with 3 little girls. Ah well it will get done eventually. I hope the dogs dont decide that my garden is their bed tonight. *sigh*

God provides

God is so good. Of course, I have always known this. But sometimes its clearer then other times. Just this week we were short on "extra money". We had enough but not the extra we needed to finish my garden. So we were going to wait until we had the "extra". The Lord knows all of your needs though!

So yesterday we went to my moms house and to pickup a load of dirt at the nearby excavating place. They have dirt there that is only $15.00 a load. Alot better then paying $40 some odd dollars for top soil at Wally World. So we get there and hubby goes to get the dirt while I stay at my moms. Well come to find out my mom has stuff there for my compost and for my tomatoes to grow on! Thanks Mom and Mary!!! We were just going to have our compost on the ground but now it will have a nice chicken wire surround. Woohoo! So we load everything up and head home. When we get here we find a bunch of wood that the previous owner left from the fence. So hubby built me 2 more raised gardens! I was sooo excited. I though we were just going to have to till the hard ground. But this will be soooo much better. So this week I will get to plant the rest of my seeds and will be on my way to fresh fruits and veggies. The Lord knows all of our needs and we just need to be patient and pray. He has always provided for this family and we are just so blessed to have him in our lives.
More pictures will be posted sometime this week after I plant my other gardens.

Mmm Broccoli

So Livster had her first broccoli this evening. I steamed it and then cut the tops of to make pea sized trees. They were very tender. I thought maybe she would play with them, smash them, but never did I think she would eat much. Well she proved me wrong! She started picking them up right away and shoving them into her mouth! She kinda gagged on them a bit. But just kept shoving more in. She loved them! She is growing up way too fast.... *sniff*

Hmm what will it be next time??

Here she is loving her broccoli..

1st time

Gardening...

This will be my first ever garden. So far I have planted my strawberries, Watermelon and Tomatoes. DH was funny and bought me 2 containers of tomato plants instead of 2 plants lol. But I went ahead and planted them all with the hopes of canning some. I also hope to freeze some berries for the winter months. I still have to plant zucchini, cantelope, bell peppers, cucumbers, and corn. Seems like there are more but I can't remember them at the moment.
But before I can plant more my DH has to make me another raised bed. Actually I am going to have him make me 2 more. I want to add sweet potatoes too.

The birds have already been trying to get into my strawberries. So I must find something that will keep them away. Obviously the dogs don't care.

Later this summer I hope to get a compost pile going and next year when we get gutters I hope to get a rainwater barrel. We have had sooo much rain this year that I am sure it would have filled 3 times already.

Hannah tried helping me plant my seeds but didn't want to get her hands dirty. Its kind hard to be a gardener and not get your hands dirty. Guess that is something she is just going to have to learn.

Here it is!

After reading so many blogs I have finally decided to make my own. This will help my memory, it is getting awful! I have thought about starting one for a long time and just never did.

This blog will probably be filled with a little bit of everything. But mostly about my kids and my daily life. I am a SAHM and am often wanting to share what I have been doing and such. This will be a great outlet for me. Though I hope you enjoy it more then I do. To friends and family it will give you a little insight to what the girls are doing as well as pictures that I am sure to share.

So enjoy this little piece of my life and leave a comment or 2 every once in a while. :)

Living,
Sara
