Here it is! I have some tweaking to do – painting the rocking chairs and sewing up some seat cushions for them, maybe a rug for the winter months, finishing the chalkboard paint on the stairs, repainting the old dressers that I’ll be using for storage, finding a cheap bookcase for all of my books [...]

At least from my personal point of view. I could make this post all polite and say that these are some of my favorite things at the moment. But I’ve pledged to be authentic, and these are things I WANT!! I’m making out MY Christmas list, throwing all caution and crappy economy to the wind. You know you want to do [...]

I figured something out this week. Are you ready? Because it’s pretty amazing, and probably applies to you as well! The past week or two I’ve discussed composting and making my own detergent. When I saw the recipes for detergent I could not get over how excited I was. I started thinking I must be [...]

At least it feels as though I’ve fallen off the face of the interwebs. Actually I’ve been substitute teaching. And sitting behind the teacher’s desk, and in the van, and on the bleachers, and in meetings, and blah, blah, blah. Here is what three days of substitue teaching look like. Well, first off this is a [...]
Looking for any reason to throw a party!

We live in a crazy world! So let’s have a party…. It’s a crazy world because someone like me can have a public forum like this, and cause my family such eye rolling hysterics, and make it an entire year without the establishment pulling the plug. That’s right. An. entire. year. of more or less [...]
Gratitude #12….A good book or two or three

There’s nothing in the house for lunch (okay, that’s an exaggeration) so I made a batch of popcorn and a cup of tea and cracked open the latest book I’ve fallen in love with. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is one of those books that I can’t put down, but yet I [...]
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-
