Christmas

A girl and her piggie . . .

Ho ho ho---yes we're THOSE people. We have Christmas hats (and stockings) for our pets :)

We decorated on Sunday. I love our tree. There isn't a single ornament more than 3 feet from the ground. We have snowman lights, candy cane lights and santa and his reindeer lights on the tree too. It is a tree the kids did themselves and they love it. I love Christmas.

I am a mom and a wife and a follower of Jesus. I am the primary author of this blog. I strive to love my life and be content every day but occasionally use this a forum to vent or seek advice. Most of the posts are about our life and our kids--I use the blog to help me go back and relive the funny things that happen and our struggles and trials. I am very interested in green living (cloth diapering, making my own cleaners and detergents etc.), organic gardening and cooking and in saving money. I strive to be the best wife and mother I can.

Elijah is our wonderful four year old son. He loves crafting, playing outside, getting filthy, swimming, dinosaurs and superheros! He loves to read, especially my old books on tape and his TAG. He is a wonderful big brother and tries to include his sister in his imaginative play. He is absolutely head over heels in love with his baby sister and dotes on her and tries to make her laugh. When he grows up he wants to be a superhero with a rocket pack to fly and you'll find him most afternoons practicing his flying on the swingset. He loves to hear songs and snuggle before bed. He's the perfect mix of rough and tumble and sweet snuggle.
