Our itty bitty town doesn’t have many businesses, but today we had the opportunity to tour one of them. Goodman Meat Processing is one of the longest running business in our town. It was built in the 1940’s and had few upgrades until the new owners took over, about 3 years ago. They had a differentkeep reading…
10 Years of Wedded Bliss (and some days of not so much bliss…)
By the time you are reading this post, I will be sitting on a beach, sipping some fruity drink, from a fancy glass. (Okay, I’m more likely to be sippin’ a can of Dr. Pepper, but that doesn’t sound nearly as fun.) That’s right, folks. I am enjoying some time away from the real world,keep reading…

Happy Miracle Day!
April 15th. It’s just another day to most people but it is known as “Miracle Day” at our house. Why? Well, because on that day my entire family was granted a miracle. Let me backtrack a little bit. This is my brother, Freddie. He is a globe-trotting, life-experiencing kinda guy. You know the kind. He workskeep reading…
Backyard Chickens
-Backyard Chickens- The average American eats 248 eggs a year! That’s a lot of eggs and a whole lot of hard working chickens. I’ve wanted to get some backyard chickens for a while now.

Up, Up and Away!!!
Last week, we took an awesome field trip to the Joplin Regional Airport. That evening, I posted about it on my blog and shared a few photos on my personal Facebook page. My cousin and her husband own their own plane. After seeing our pictures, they got the “itch” to get up in the air.keep reading…
Joplin Regional Airport
This week, we had the chance to go on a field trip with our local Homeschool Network (HSN) to the Joplin Regional Airport. Let me just start by saying, it was the best field trip we’ve ever taken. There were several volunteers, set up in “stations,” who were full of information for us.keep reading…
Why I Don’t Want a DVD Player in the Car
Why I Don’t Want a DVD Player in the Car I see it everyday. Kids quietly sitting in the backseat of the minivan, eyes glued to Tangled on the screen in front of them, while mom chats away on her cell phone. I can’t help but wonder if this is what our future holds. Kidskeep reading…
My Drug of Choice
-MY DRUG OF CHOICE- I have lived a pretty sheltered life. I’ve never done drugs or been a drinker. I’ve smoked a cigarette, which was more like dying from coughing because I had no idea what I was doing. Not to mention, I’m allergic to smoke, so that didn’t help. Ha! Sometimes I wonder how teenagers evenkeep reading…
