I am Not as Strong as I appear. I enjoy weakness from time to time. We are a homeschooling, special needs family of 7. My 4th son has a Congenital Heart defect, and my oldest has ADHD. We like to find old things and make them new, so we bought a house that was in desperate need of repair, then we doubled the sized of it. This project is well over 9 years long, with still plenty to do, and has pushed my fear of heights over the limit too many times. The best part is I am still alive to talk about it! Some of my passions are my children, and making Jewelry. When life gets stressful (often times stress induced by children!) opening up my bins of beads to create something beautiful that will soon bring joy to someone else is all I need. That and chocolate. I am just hanging on by the seat of my pants. Stick around & let's get to know each other.

Of course the biggest thing that happened this week is the Mayan Non-Apocalypse. Honestly, I have been wondering about December 21st, 2012 since I was a little girl. I remember reading about it and thinking it sounded like a million years away. The Mayan Apocalypse of 2012 came and went and we are all...

Last night, Mr Wall Nut made a passing comment about people complaining about the new line of Girl Legos. I had only recently heard that there was now a line of Legos just for girls, and I think it is pretty darn cool! I did a Google search about Legos for Girls and took...

Looking back at this past summer, I remember the both the fear of Owain’s upcoming surgery and the excitement of our pre-surgery vacation to Hershey Park. I could do without the fear, but I sure could use a vacation from life right now.

I just realized that today is Friday. That means that we are only 1 week a way from Owain’s surgery. Today though, we had a great time at the park, such a great time that I didn’t even think about what day it was once. I took hundreds of photos, way too many to...

There was so much to do today. Dishes, laundry, the floors, the bathrooms, pretty much the whole house needed to get cleaned before we go on vacation on Thursday. I started my day with coffee and every intention of avoiding all things involving cleaning. Instead I spent the day with the 2 younger kids...

In Owain's 4 short years, he has had 3 Open Heart Surgeries, and 1 surgery to place Pacemaker wires on both his upper and lower heart. He is looking at a lifetime of surgeries to replace the Pacemaker batteries. Hopefully that is all he will need, but we live our lives Praying for the Best while being Prepared for the Worst.
