About Me

I'm Stacy - a disciple of Christ, an Army wife, and a homeschooling mom to our 7 year old daughter. I spend my days doing fun science projects, going on field trips, cooking gluten-free meals, taking photos, reading, blogging & managing the home. I'm constantly behind on scrapbooking and want to learn how to crochet more than scarves, but there are only so many hours in the day.

I believe that shoes should always be optional, life is better at the beach, and chocolate is a necessary food group! More details about me & my family

New York City & the Statue of Liberty

Almost a month ago, Hubby had his 2 week block leave period after returning from deployment.  We tossed around a few ideas of what to do with our vacation time trying to find a balance between having a lot of fun & not spending a lot of money.

One idea we kept coming back to was . . . → Read More: New York City & the Statue of Liberty

Our 10th Wedding Anniversary!

Today Hubby and I celebrate 10 years of wedded bliss! An entire decade! Just 4 more decades to go till our Golden Anniversary! As I look back over the years, I am truly amazed at God’s glory.  We have been through some TOUGH times in our 10 years together, some really tough times.  Yet as I . . . → Read More: Our 10th Wedding Anniversary!

Lovebug was published!

Several months ago, Lovebug came to me with a joke she had written and wanted to submit to Highlights, a magazine for children.

 

We mailed it off and then today, almost 10 months later, we received this in the mail:

 

Sure enough, on page 38, her joke was published!  Look at #7!

So proud of my girl!

Ketchup or you’ll be late!

One of Lovebug’s favorite knock-knock jokes goes like this:

Knock-Knock

Who’s there?

Ketchup

Ketchup who?

Ketchup or you’ll be late! 

 

I am so behind on my writing and I definitely need to “ketchup”! I have so many posts just waiting to be written and posted, and I do apologize for the delay.  Hopefully all of my readers have not gone . . . → Read More: Ketchup or you’ll be late!

Give me a break!

Why is it so much easier to give others a break, to cut them some slack, to extend grace to them – but it’s so hard to do it for yourself?

I have been fighting a chest cold for the past week and it is wearing me out.  I absolutely despise coughing! It hurts, it’s annoying, and . . . → Read More: Give me a break!

A very different kind of Thanksgiving

Growing up, Thanksgiving was always a time to get together with lots of friends and family.  Big crowds, lots of food, lots of talking and a few people falling asleep on the sofa after too much turkey and pie – good times, although often exhausting!! 

Now that Rob and I are on our own away from . . . → Read More: A very different kind of Thanksgiving

3 family-friendly movies with cute dogs

It is so hard to find truly kid-friendly, family fun movies! I have no problem finding things for Lovebug to watch and enjoy by herself – she still loves Barney, Diego, Veggie Tales, and Clifford, and I am so thankful for that!   But what about when we want to enjoy a movie together as a family?  . . . → Read More: 3 family-friendly movies with cute dogs

Soldier Salute

Just a couple days before Veteran’s Day, my awesome Hubby was featured on a local news channel in their “Soldier Salute” program.  I submitted his information and some photos and was super thrilled when they notified me that it would be showing.  Thank goodness for DVRs, because they gave me a 2.5 hour window and it . . . → Read More: Soldier Salute

Bye-bye busy, time for productive

I’ve been so busy lately that I feel like I’ve been living in a fog.  Of course part of that may just be because my allergies are wrecking havoc on my sinuses so my nose has been bouncing back and forth from being completely open to sealed tighter than a drum.  The weather has shifted to . . . → Read More: Bye-bye busy, time for productive

Halloween 2011

October was a busy month for us! We participated in several Fall & Halloween activities and had so much fun! I can’t possibly share all of the pictures I took, but here are some of my favorite highlights!

 

While my parents were visiting, we went to a local pumpkin patch
