There are many different ways to make these, I have seen 5 gallon buckets, gallon milk jugs, heavy duty plastic bags and all sorts of random things like...Keep Reading Here »

The Wet Engine vs Eat Pray Love
I haven’t vlogged in a while, and I don’t usually get so chatty, but I figured what the heck, it is Friday night so I will throw caution to the wind and ramble into my webcam. I am getting ready to give up reading Eat Pray Love until I am finished reading The Wet...Keep Reading Here »
Our Nightly Routine with CHD and Asthma
This is a vlog of what we do every night after we put the big kids and Honey Nut in bed…although since Honey Nut has been sick, she has been working her way into cuddle time. One thing that I forgot to mention about today’s visit is that we checked Owee’s O2 sats, and...Keep Reading Here »
Oops! I Think I Cut My Hair Too Short, AKA Bangs
I got a little distracted today cutting my hair. I totally blame my kids. And myself some. But mostly my kids. And I have to laugh at myself, I think I said I was done like 4 times and kept on talking. I do that ALL the time. Sorry for rambling. That’s how I...Keep Reading Here »
My Five Dollar Make-Over
Actually it was less than 5 bucks, the henna was four something, I don’t remember exactly. I have seen some Henna for much cheaper, but I am brand loyal to my Henna color. And I was ordering it online, and the last thing I wanted to do was try out a new brand and...Keep Reading Here »

Too Much Fun at The Nut House on a Friday Night
Anyone wanna guess what I am doing here? And no, I don’t have a prize, this is just for funKeep Reading Here »
Honey Nut
Honey Nut is the Latest and Last Addition to the Family. She is our 5th Little Nut and our 1st and only Little Girl. She spends her days pretty much running after her brothers and pretending she can talk. She has no trouble being heard around here and loves her big brothers as much as they love her. Right now it is pretty much her job to just hang out and be cute.
Wee Nut
Owain is my 3 year old, my Little Heart Kid & my Hero. He is Double Inlet, Single Ventricle with Pulmonary Atresia and Malpositioned Great Arteries. He has had 3 out of 3 Open Heart surgeries needed to “fix” his heart. The Heart is an amazing thing and I never know what to expect. He also has asthma and we are doing our best to manage that. He finally had his last surgery on June 24th 2011.
Wee Nut and Honey Nut have become a pair of serious partners in crime. The two of them together can cause more trouble than the older three. They keep me on my toes!
Owain is our Miracle Baby. You can read his Congenital Heart Defect Story from the very beginning if you click on his picture.
E Nut
E Nut is 8 and wicked crazy! He is my fearless child and spent much of his life thinking if he could just jump high enough he could fly. If I let him, he would play Wii all day long, that is IF I let him. He has no trouble waking up before 6am and made me a morning person when I never thought I would be. He recently lost his first tooth and FINALLY feels like a Big Kid. E Nut and Wing Nut are the Big Kids around here and while they fight like enemies, they love like brothers.
Thank you for praying!
After his Fontan on June 24th he went home after 6 days! Now we are back in the hospital waiting for fluid to stop draining from around his right lung.

Little Nut Nut
Little Nut Nut is my 5 year old boy genius and totally freaks me out with the things he can do. What type of child learns to read at 3 years old?!? He is his Big Brothers shadow and wants to do what ever they do. He doesn't have any trouble letting everyone around here know what he thinks, has no inner voice and talks non-stop all day long. If he thinks it, he says it. He says things like "I love life" and "I am made of Awesome" and always makes me smile, even when I don't want to.
Wing Nut
My Wing Nut, 10 years old, is my first born and is a Lego Fanatic. He talks in his sleep about "interesting number combinations" and insists that he is going to work for Lego when he grows up. From the moment he gets the current issue of Lego magazine in the mail, he anticipates the arrival of the next one. He has crazy mood swings, has recently been diagnosed with ADHD but I am not so sure that is correct. He is considered Failure to Thrive and I struggle everyday to get him to gain weight, he keeps getting taller, but not gaining any weight. I think if we can figure out why he his Failure to Thrive, his ADHD will go away.
