Snow Day

We had a great snow day today! We have been playing lots of games together.
Here's a pic if our homemade pizza and our cookie pizzas.

We ended the night with a few family rounds of Bingo and Charades.

Behind on the Blogging...

It's been awhile! No new news on getting closer to owning our little Farm but I do have some more decorating ideas!! I'm subscribing to Better Homes and Gardens, Country Living, Country Sampler magazines and have noticed chalk board paint is. Common theme this year. I love some of the idea! I want to have a memo wall in our dream home with chalkboard paint on top and the cork squares under it. I'm also thinking of getting dry erase Calenders for each of the children's bedroom doors, that way they know when their own practices are, vacations, etc...
I love dreaming of the future. :)
Congrats to the Seattle Seahawks on their blow out Super bowl Win!!!!!(even though I was cheering for Denver)

Friends in the South

My heart goes out to the families in the Southern US who are trapped at home due to the weather and out of work due to it.r
I pray your warm weather returns soon so your lives have their normalcy back!!

Some of my Favorite Things Part 1

I wanted to share with you some of my favorite things around my home.
I LOVE antiques. I have 2 antique buffets in my kitchen that store my kitchen goods.
I love Pampered Chef cooking tools.
I collect reproduction tin pictures and cans.
I also collect cookbooks. I have many cookbooks that my family no longer wanted and have gifted to me. I have some cookbooks that were my great aunts. My grandfather has a couple of cookbooks that were my grandmother's. I have baskets and recipe boxes full if recipes that have been handed down to me or from recipe exchanges.
In Part 2 I will post some pictures of my treasures.

I encourage you.....

.....to read one another blogs....to  glean from others knowledge.....to know every phase of life you are not alone......to visit places you typically can not go to...to enjoy your few minutes of online time. :)

MLK day

I am enjoying my day having housework done already and thinking of what I will fix for supper. I've been taking notes in my farming notebook for whenever we find the perfect place for us. I found a beautiful home online For Sale By Owner with land and fencing already up. But I know we're not quite financially ready to take the plunge yet.
We're looking for a 4-5 BR 1.5+ BA house with some acreage. I really want a farm house and have found 3 contenders so far. Each home has 20+ acres of pasture and woods. Hubby has promised kiddos if we find a place with enough land we are going to clear an area big enough for a baseball field that won't get in the way of the animals we want. I'm also looking forward to gardening.
I'm also hoping by the time we're ready to purchase a home i'll be able to stay home and not be working part time.
