Gettin back in the groove

Well I do not blog often except when I have lots going on and something exciteing to share or have a huge inspiration from the Lord to do so. God has been taking me thru the Fire and Trials of life to make me the person I have been praying him to make me. I have a Great desire to overcome any sin, anger or spirit that stands in my way of becoming the woman Christ wants me to be. When you really have the desire and pray for God to strengthen you and help you it will not be easy cause he will and can purge you of all things that are not bearing good fruit in your life and that is when the fight with Satan begins. We must put on the full armour of God new each day ready to battle so we can win the fight and overcome our strongholds. Well that is a bit of what im learning and pushing thru right now. I pray that all Woman will have the desire to fulfill there God given roles in life and will suceed.

Homemade Garden fresh

Well our garden has been busting out the cucumbers, squash and tomatoes like crazy been giving most of it away and freezing and making homemade tomato sauce and sweet and sour pickles. I LOVE IT! I have learned so much from this years gardening experience that will be good use for next year. I'm going to start prep early for next year that way I can plan better now that I know a few tips and tricks. Things are alot easier to do then alot of people make it sound you just have to get in there and try it for yourself to realize. Work can be hard at first but in the end it is truly rewarding.

Growing like a weed and new birth.

Well My Second daughters B-day is coming close. August 14Th she will be a year old. I have loved her company and she has been such a blessing. She is learning quickly and very smart like her older sister. As for me i'm into my 19th week of pregnancy and feeling great. My due date is set for December 31St. I am so excited and ready to welcome our Third addition to the family. I love being a keeper of the home and a mother God has taught me so much and blessed me in so many ways beyond what I feel I deserve but I know that it's all because He loves me.

Well lots to do and no more to write .

Gardening and sewing

Well we started tilling our garden yesterday and got a good bit tilled and racked but we still have some grass to remove which we will work on today and tomorrow and hopefully I can get all my veg tables in the ground on Saturday. :) very exciting! I'm reading some things on canning tomato cause I plan on making my own diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Lots of work but will be well worth it when it's all said and done so I'm not looking at the now I'm looking at the future when I can say I'm glad i did this.

The pastors wife at the church I attend is teaching me to sew on Thursday nights. We started last week with first night and she taught me how to measure and cut out the patterns and tonight we will be working on sewing the dress. This is really fun and i think I might get good at it and go on a sewing frenzy! Oh the plans I have. I'm gonna make me some aprons first chance.

Well back to cleaning then im gonna try and get outside and rack the garden some more.

Things going on.........

Not much different each day except taking care of my home and children as I love.

Yard work has officially started hubby and I mowed and cleaned up the yard yesterday and we will begin tilling our garden this weekend.:) I'm really excited about that. Hopefully everything grows well and I can tend to it's needs...I will post pictures right after we have everything in ground. I did a garden last year which was my first and it went alright but i learned alot through my experience and from others so I'm hoping it will go alot better this time around. I am planting Cucumbers, Green Beans, Peas, Okra, Bell peppers, Jalapenos, Acorn squash, Tomatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, Tabasco peppers and basil.

Catching up, lovely weather and learning new things

Well I have not blogged in a llllllooooooonnnnnnnggg time! I have not been feeling like it and I also have been trying to spend as little time on the Internet as I can.

The weather here these past couple days has been so nice. I love to open the windows and let the fresh warm air in and the smell of the outdoors can be so wonderful unless the neighbor hood skunk comes by. This weather is also telling me to hurry up and get my garden plans in gear. I will be having a much larger garden than last year since I have a little more experience. I will be growing multiple kinds of patio flowers and I will be making a large veg table garden in back that will have cucumbers, green beans, tomatoes, bell peppers and jalapenos. I have already planted all my indoor starter seeds.

I have been on a mission to learn more things to make homemade such as laundry soap, buttermilk and perfecting my homemade yogurt. I'm gonna try out the butter milk and the laundry soap here in these next couple days. I have been making my daughters baby food homemade and that is super easy and so much cheaper than the store bought.

Well have to go put away groceries and do some cleaning but will blog again someday soon when I feel like taking the time to do so or feel inspired about something to write.

Oh yes the Duggars Jim-bob and Michelle are coming to Barnes and Noble this Saturday for there book signing and I'm excited:) I already bought my copy of the book.
