A great place to share ideas on homemaking. We can share secrets like recipes, fixes, cleaners, and more. A great place to park and read or share some of your thoughts. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/homemakingtutor/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Thu, 2 Aug 2007 11:32:00 -0500 Thu, 2 Aug 2007 11:32:00 -0500 Well, I have never been tagged before, so this is new to me! But it sounds fun! So here are the rules I have to post before I get started: 1) The player starts with 8 random facts about herself. 2)The person who is tagged must post on her own blog her answers and she must post the rules first. 3) Then the player must pick 8 people and tag them. Then leave them a note so that they will know that they have been tagged. Eight things about me! 1. I have had the honor of being married to my very 1st boyfriend (from 4th grade!) He is the only one I have ever shared a kiss with. I have known him since 1st grade. 2. Even as a young girl, I always just wanted to grow up and get married and have children! I didn't want to go to college or find a career. 3. I also feel compelled every year to have a garden and I don't even like vegetables!! 4. I enjoy sewing, but have a hard time doing it, knowing that I HAVE to! 5. I  am the mom of twins, who are 3 yrs old. I wish I was a writer b/c I would have some funny stories to tell! My husband says....everyone should have to have a set!! 6. I love to read the Elsie Dinsmore books put out by Vision Forum. They keep me captivated! 7. I am always eager to buy exercise videos, but after doing them 1 or 2 times they usually sit on a shelf! :( 8. I have a weakness for baby animals. I hate to see one in need, I am always compelled to try and take care of it. So, there is a little bit about me.  I don't even know 8 people to tag, so  I will do as many as I can!  I am tagging lazycreek, JulieClark, MIW, and loving2bhome.  http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/homemakingtutor/366870/ Thu, 2 Aug 2007 11:32:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/homemakingtutor/366870/ Well, it has been a while since I have even looked at my own blog. But I think things are getting better now. It didn't take long to let my hubby know that we were expecting again. By now he knows what to look for!! My morning sickness has been different with this one though. I feel like God has blessed me greatly for it. I would feel pretty good (just really tired!!!!) during the day, and then in the evening I would feel eally yukky. But this is good for me, because by the time I would feel bad it was just about bedtime for my youngest children. So I would put them to bed and be free to be sick! I have to say though, that I don't think I could have gotten through the last 2 months without my 2 oldest boys(ages 11 and 13). They would fix breakfast for everyone in the mornings so I could rest, they have been doing all house work and the oldest has fixed supper MANY times also. They have truly been a blessing to this Momma!! Now that I'm starting to feel better, I'm starting to think about school and what we want to do for this coming year, what would be best for each child and how to work things around another new baby. It is getting more difficult for me b/c I have as many not in school as I do in school. If there is anyone out there that may have suggestions I am open to ideas! I hope all that read this are doing well and have a blessed day in the Lord!

I am still the same as I was on day 8. I haven't lost anymore since then. That is discouraging to me. It always makes me want to quit when I get to a stand still like that. I had a set of twins born almost 3 years ago by c-section, and they say that it is so hard to lose after one of those. I am finding that to be right. But I am determined that I can do it. My over-all health has been better. I am very thankful for that!!! Ok, so I'm going to keep on trying and with God's help I can overcome this stand still!! Lisa http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/homemakingtutor/330938/ Sat, 19 May 2007 20:55:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/homemakingtutor/330938/    Well I am at day 4 and another 2 lbs lost. Yippeeee!!!! I'm so excited. I have been feeling much better and I am not having alot of cravings yet. That is good for me. That is the biggest thing I struggle with when trying to lose weight. We will see how tomorrow goes.

It is free!!!!! It's not often that you can find anything free anymore. But this book will help us moms (and dads) to know what we are getting into and what not to get into. This book offers free training once you download it. The information is free and very helpful! You will not get any sales calls about products or anything like that. If we had not found this we would have ended up in a bad deal. We were just getting ready to go with a certain company, until we found this book. We would have been in a mess, but the information we found was very helpful!  We are so thankful that we found it and that it is free, so we can share it with lots of other people  that may be struggling with the right thing to do.  www.freesuccessmanual.com  I encourage you to take a look at it if you are at all thinking about a home business.   Lisa http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/homemakingtutor/324494/ Sat, 5 May 2007 21:08:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/homemakingtutor/324494/
