I’m not sure what the etiquette is regarding hmmmm…..bragging about Christmas gifts. But this is what appeared under our tree Christmas morning! Isn’t she beautiful? Her color is called mango – I love that! We have two canoes, but now we have this svelte little water craft. I’m not sure how we are going to [...]

Christmas may be over, but now we all have a chance to give a huge gift to makers of handmade toys, clothing and other items intended for children. The CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) was put in place to protect consumers from tainted goods, brought on by the contaminated products coming from China. The problem [...]

Decided to play with the camera today. The boys finally went to school today after three days off due to ice covered roads. Despite having three days off Nate’s head was hanging low this morning – poor lad. Having a fourth day off would have been a miracle equal to seeing the image of Christ [...]

Anna of Sew What tagged me for seven random facts, and I’m going to give it a Christmas twist.

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-
