This ~ n ~ That


 



The Holidays are coming in full swing and maybe a tad early but I don’t mind! Our local radio station has already gone “Christmas” yep, Christmas music! Can you believe!?! The boys love to listen to it when we are in the Van and I checked our Digital cable and our Seasonal station has also gone Christmas!! We have a classic station that is mostly Christian music and the other that has the Santa songs on it

 

 

 

I'm not any better though, I bought our first pint of Eggnog, I couldn’t help it. The boys love the stuff warmed up with a bit of milk to thin it out. What a yummy treat when they come in from playing outside in the morning when it is still chilly outside! I also stopped at Tuesday morning and bought our paper napkins for Christmas Day (We use cloth for the dinner but paper for hors d'œuvres and snacks) I also bought Noah a My First Christmas stocking!! Its precious! I want to have some little things embroidered on it such as “Child of God, Blessed, Loved, Adored, Gift etc..”

 

 

 

 I have to say a big, huge, appreciative, heartfelt THANK YOU to Sallie  (Go check out her lovely blog) for the beautiful gift she sent me for the Homeschool Blog Awards sites first ever “Swap”.

Sallie sent me the most beautiful little dainty Tea Pot for one from “Twins Polish Pottery”, I have already used it and I plan on making it my afternoon reprieve with my Bible and Devotion basket in hand. Sallie I will think of you each time I sit down for a rest with my Teapot. Thank you sweet sister it has been fun having the privilege to get to know you better and to pray for you! Thank you for introducing me to this beautiful Boleslawiec Stoneware, I love it!

 

 

 

Guess what started yesterday the Homeschool Blog Award Nominations”!!! Yep its that time again, please be sure to go and nominate your favorite blogs, I will be nominating mine tonight! Many wonderful ladies take time to open their Hearts and Homes to share on their blogs and it is nice when we can give a little back to our favorites and let them know they are an encouragement, a friend, that they are thought of and appreciated, go check it out, nominate your favs and spread the word!!!!

 

Lastly I will be doing a series of posts, might be 2 might be 3 on “ME”   If there is one question I have heard repeated over and over again its “How does she do it?” Or “Where do you find the time, how do you keep up, why haven’t you lost your mind, then there are some that think I stay home and eat Bon Bons and watch soaps all day.

 

Oh and the blogging questions pertaining to my  mister Linky, where do I find the time to blog so much, ho do I find the time to play with templates etc…

 

 I will quote one lady on the net that asked ”Where does she find the time to blog and how does she have such a full and beautiful blog with 4 little boys?”

 

I will be answering these questions and many more in the days to come. My first post will be on Thursday titled “How does she do it” and I am going to share a snap shot from Monday so you can see exactly “How” I do it!

 

If there are any other questions that you might have from me, about me, for me now is your chance, ask away and I will answer in the coming posts starting Thursday!

 

Also if anyone would like to do the same and share exactly what their day looks like and how they do it all, school, home, children, blogging, meals etc. Please do share and leave a comment on Thursdays post to let us know you are playing along!

 

Wow that was a long-winded post! If you are still with me don’t forget about Wordless Wednesday!

 I hope to make my rounds and visit everyone tomorrow!

Hugs & Blessings,

Tiany

What a beautiful tea pot! How thoughtful.
I get a catalog with polish pottery in it and I love it.
I'm sure you'll enjoy that tea pot very much.
What a blessing thoughtfulness is.

Enjoy your week ~

I can't believe they are playing christmas music already! I have to admit we've been bitten by the bug to : ) I bought my special christmas stamps today at the post office with mary and the baby jesus on them. If you don't buy them when they first come out you miss out completely so I made sure I stocked up *grin* we've already perused the christmas aisles at the stores and I've got my christmas cards started : )
Blessings to you and your family,
Rosina

Oh I almost forgot... your teapot is beautiful! What a special swap from your new friend :)

Nov. 6, 2007 - I wonder too...

Posted by kympossible
how you do it all! I'll be waiting for those posts!

My family loves eggnog - the first time I see it in the store I buy some no matter the price and we celebrate the coming of Eggnog Season. LOL After that I'll only buy it when the price is acceptable. Looks like the prices are NOT going to be acceptable this year. 8~(

Blessings,
Kym

I love the teapot. Its beautiful. I have a question. Its about your cleaning schedule, I know you do your home blessing Monday. After that do you just do basic rountine and work on zone or do you do your weekly cleaning list, I'm a little confused how that works. I don't see how you have time to do zone cleaning and weekly cleaning plus school and all of that. I would love to hear an example of how you do what on each day. I hope this question isn't confusing, if it is email me. Thanks so much, I can't wait to learn so much from you-I have already learned quite alot!

Nov. 6, 2007 - How do I know I am ready for Christmas?

Posted by bubbebobbie
I buy my first half gallon of Peppermint Stick Ice Cream. How do I know I am not ready for it yet? I am still buying Pumpkin pie Ice cream!

Somethings just have to wait their turn.

Because of Jesus, Bobbei

Nov. 9, 2007 - Mmmm Eggnog

Posted by kancel
We always buy eggnog the moment it hits the shelves. It just says "Holidays" to us. We got our first container a little over a week ago and have already finished it.
