House of Holes: March 2012

Tuesday, March 13, 2012. Doing projects and marking things off my list makes me happy! I would say 75% of the time I feel like a ping pong ball. Being bounced from kids to cooking to errands to getting glued to the mindless black hole of a computer or blah blah blah blah blah blah. Any mother knows exactly what I mean. But occasionally, I have those blissful days when I'm like an arrow. So here it is, our new and improved chore system. Chores to do. peg 2. Chores done. peg 3. Tickets earned. peg 4. I am ...

Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Favorite Things: Lists and Apps. I'm a fan of lists. I like making goals and checking off my progress. I also LOVE paper. I've had such a hard time switching to any sort of digital lists, I just don't feel the same sense of accomplishment, BUT paper is easy to lose and to forget. So I wanted to share with you one of my most-used Apps: WUNDERLIST. It's free and it's great. you can customize as many lists as you want and CHECK THEM OFF AS YOU GO! Thursday, April 24, 2014.

House of Holes: And just like that... summer's over!
http://houseofholes.blogspot.com/2014/08/my-stomach-hurts.html
Tuesday, August 12, 2014. And just like that. summer's over! May 22nd to Aug 6th was the extent of our summer, and since we were fortunate to have a job again, but unfortunate not to have vacation time or money, we spent the summer at home. BUT, we were super fortunate to have the Tracey Family and Nana come to visit in July! We took them to the Beach, Bowling, Army Aviation Museum and of course treated them to boiled peanuts :) It was a houseful of fun and noise. can't wait until we can do it again!

House of Holes: January 2012
http://houseofholes.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 20, 2012. Money, money, money by the pound :). So I'm nearly finished reading The Total Money Makeover and I'm kind of sad to be almost done. I found myself really enjoying the bits in the morning and evening that got my mind thinking and helped me feel so. Motivated to be better with our money. I've started to realize how I've been slowly rationalizing our way down to hell. And it WILL make a difference. So for once, I'm right on track. One of the questions the book poses is, is 5 years ...

Wednesday, June 4, 2014. Who's Turn is it to Pray? So, you know. we're supposed to pray morning, noon and night. And then a prayer in our hearts all the time in between. That is a LOT. Of prayers, and as in any good family (lol) that means a lot of fighting over who's turn is it. whether they are fighting about who wants. To pray or who doesn't. Here's how we figure out. Family Prayers Morning and Night:. For these prayers we go in age-order rotation. It just so happens that we have 7 kids for 7 days.

Thursday, May 8, 2014. Livin' It Up in Marital Bliss. We're approaching our 14th anniversary this summer and it's been 14 years of "marital bliss". Lol! Ben and I are a great TEAM. But being a great team means we are also very DIFFERENT. It's a whole concept that you can find on a website, MarriageBuilders. I want to give you a little summary of it and if it sounds interesting to you then check it out! First of all is the concept of a LOVE BANK. Now there's only 1 problem with that. you have to be ma...

House of Holes: August 2014
http://houseofholes.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 12, 2014. Let me tell you a little about our journey with food, and where we are now. Ever since Ben and I were first married it's been a struggle to figure out how to make his stomach happy. For my husband, we have done dairy free. For a long time. Next we added gluten-free. Digestive enzymes, which are a great life-saver for public and restaurant survival. Then after being GFCF for ages and still getting stomach attacks, he stumbled upon SCD diet. Eliminate almost all refined sugar.
