I had to undo stitching several times, and the binding on top is all wonky with wrinkles and the [...]

I’m back, I survived. But here’s how day 1 of TV free week went down. Everytime I walked past the computer I had to pace and downtalk myself from turning it on. Finally realized that the obvious way to cope was to open up the box of Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls and start shoveling [...]

I think the week of April 20th is National TV free week, so our household will be participating going through withdrawal in that. We try to have a tv/media free week once or twice a year – just to prove to the kids that they can survive without it. In the spirit of TV free week at the [...]

About
Jackie
I'm a human being, sometimes fumbling through life, but more often amazed by the great glorious adventure that it is. If you want labels - I'm a stay at home mom, a tree hugger, a tightwad, a wife, a nerd, a jogger, a bookworm, a creative soul, a pretty good cook, a beloved child of God, an avid hobby photographer, a person who likes to dip her toes into all that life has to offer. In fact you might find that we have a lot in common, and that labels don't really explain the complexity of human beings.
Thanks for visiting me, I always love to hear from you! You can also email me at b(dot)jackie79(at)yahoo(dot)com-
