Momma Told Me: Tasty Tuesday- Cranberry Naturals Review and Giveaway! Another wonderful giveaway posted at Momma told me. It is hard to keep our refrigerator full of cranberry juice with my youngest son around! As a mom, though, I'd much rather see him reaching for the juice versus soda pop for sure.

It will be well worth it in the end, I don't think I have stopped smiling since I got the news about my office job!

Wish list improvement project for this summer

  I have been wishing for a chicken coop for about two years now. I am hoping this is the summer that it happens! We are currently going through over 3 dozen eggs a week and buying chicken 3X a week from the grocery. We own 7 1/4 acres - what a better way to be self-sufficient on the need for these products than by building our own chicken coop? Plus it would be great for my daughter, who just recently joined 4-H.
  I recently came across this giveaway http://www.homeconstructionimprovement.com/paslode-holiday-giveaway/  and I am sincerely hoping that this will give my hubby the incentive to get this project going! A cordless framing nailer would be great in the fact that we would not have to do all the labor manually - my husband would greatly appreciate this giveaway! This giveaway ends December 18 at 11:59PM Eastern time so head over now for your entry! Good Luck!

Marshall, our new addition to the family



  A Labradoodle! This is my son's Christmas present - all he could say was, "It's a dog." Basically, he was speechless! We found Marshall, our pup, through petfinder.com. It is a wonderful program, and best of all it was easy to set up a meet and greet with our pup before actually saying this is the one.

Wow, so I have started a blog!

This will be a trip, definitely a learning experience! The wonderful world of the internet, lol! Now I just have to learn how to navigate, hehe.
