Living with Chaos: {DIY} Padded Crutches Tutorial
http://livingwithchaos.blogspot.com/2012/01/diy-padded-crutches-tutorial.html
Friday, January 6, 2012. DIY} Padded Crutches Tutorial. Emily had surgery on her foot a week ago and has made her way around on crutches quite well so far. But, after two days of using the crutches full time at school her arms were very sore, so I knew I needed to come up with a fix, quickly. Lay the crutch on a piece of paper and trace around the top of it. Cut out your pattern. Now to make these covers stay on your crutches. Using a small width elastic, place it an equal distance from bottom edge&#...

Living with Chaos: Weird obsession
http://livingwithchaos.blogspot.com/2011/08/weird-obsession.html
Tuesday, August 30, 2011. My kids have this weird obsession with cemeteries; they would walk around cemeteries for hours if we let them. I suppose maybe. I created this obsession several years ago. If I would have known how excited they get when I say something like "I was looking on google maps and found a cemetery right in the middle of a neighborhood" I may not have encouraged the stop over. Dad, this guy was a general in the confederate army! Mom, this one is from the 1800's! One photo, every day.

Living with Chaos: Happy Birthday, Matthew!
http://livingwithchaos.blogspot.com/2012/04/happy-birthday-matthew.html
Monday, April 23, 2012. Happy Birthday, Matthew! My handsome young son turns 10 today. How can that be true? It seems like just yesterday he was this small baby,. With his barely-there hair and eyes so blue. Matthew is our most sensitive child, by far. His heart is one of pure gold. And although he's now ten years old,. He still reaches for this mama's hand to hold. Matthew has the cutest dimples,. The one on the right is is somewhat deeper. I love when he flashes his small, sly smile. I started this blo...

Living with Chaos: Sentences of stuff
http://livingwithchaos.blogspot.com/2011/10/sentences-of-stuff.html
Thursday, October 20, 2011. I think about blogging almost every day, but the day to day grind is what fills my time and when I think about blogging, I put it off; and obviously, put it off for quite a long time. It quickly entered that weird "it's been so long since that know I don't exactly know how get it back. Such as the distance between friends or family that you know is there but can't seem to figure out the best way to call them up. Yea, that is me and this blog. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Living with Chaos: Happy Birthday, Emily
http://livingwithchaos.blogspot.com/2012/02/happy-birthday-emily.html
Friday, February 24, 2012. Happy Birthday, Emily. It just seems impossible that she is 12. My memory is still quite vivid of willing this stubborn child out of my womb at a week overdue. How can it be that it was already 12 years ago? Emily is a fighter. Emily is an overachiever. Emily is a perfectionist. Emily will not take "no" as an answer. Emily is a cheerful giver. Emily loves the Lord. Today is for Emily and celebrating her. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). One photo, every day. I have a wonderf...

Living with Chaos: Halloween 2011
http://livingwithchaos.blogspot.com/2011/10/halloween-2011.html
Monday, October 31, 2011. The finishing touches were put on the gladiator boots today and the pattern pieces were finally folded and tucked back into their proper envelopes; another costume sewing season has come to a close. And, I am thrilled. This year's costumes were fairly time consuming and I decided to take a 2 week break in October to take the kids to Virginia so I really felt under the gun to get the last costume finished on time. And then, after all that, the most commented costume of the night?

Living with Chaos: Make your own: Instant Oatmeal Packets
http://livingwithchaos.blogspot.com/2011/09/make-your-own-instant-oatmeal-packets.html
Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Make your own: Instant Oatmeal Packets. I read that it was possible to make your own instant oatmeal packets several years ago. I filed that away in my bookmarks for the day that I decided spending $2.50 on a box of conveniently packaged oatmeal was far too hard for me to accomplish. OK, so maybe I had inclinations of being frugal and healthy way back then but let me tell you, with 3 kids under 5 years of age I was far. So this is right up my alley. 2 Tbsp. oat powder.

http://livingwithchaos.blogspot.com/2012/04/four-kids-is.html
Monday, April 30, 2012. Ever want to peer in on a family with a lot of children to see what it's like? In a completely shocked manner. I suspect it wasn't much of a compliment. Whatever. I should have told her we're expecting four more just for kicks. 2 parents (one who will consume a salad bar daily if it's in the fridge). 1 who eats like a bird and. 2 who are boys = a trip for fresh produce about twice a week. 1 head of iceberg lettuce. 1 head of romaine lettuce. 4 artisan lettuce heads. And since rais...

Living with Chaos: Gems from Jacob
http://livingwithchaos.blogspot.com/2011/11/gems-from-jacob.html
Tuesday, November 29, 2011. While cleaning out the car recently I found this; a drawing Jacob drew during church a few weeks ago. The pastor was explaining during Jesus' days they would annoint a guest's head with oil to welcome them into their home, and how we would think someone is bizzare if they met us at the front door with a bottle of olive oil.
