A bit ago I posted the first picture of The New Nut House when I started Fixing Up The Boys Room. Since then I have painted the ceiling, and trim. While Honey Nut was working on her floor, I painted the walls for the older boys room. Since we are renting, I am keeping...

Honey Nut came with me to the Farm House to get some work done today. She gets the small bedroom, her four brothers are sharing two other bedrooms, and a fourth bedroom upstairs will be the classroom. We are no longer homeschooling, but with our large family, I think it’s important to have a...

I am so excited to get started on fixing up the kitchen! I ended up wandering around Lowe’s the other day and ended up with the overhead cupboard, and narrow cabinet for next to the stove. With a little bit of tile & plywood I can make a cute countertop next to the stove,...

So this is one wall of our little kitchen. It looks like it needs a little work, and a few more cupboards. The rest of the kitchen needs just as much work. There is very little storage, not nearly enough for our dishes or food, and there is no place for a pantry. There...

I’ve never been a fan of the Brown Frown. Before we move into our new little Farm House, we need to give it a quick makeover. I’m starting with the bedrooms so my Tribe can claim their space and call it home. The shelves are coming down and primer is going up. Good-bye to the...

I have been working on filling our stockpile again, and after coming across some great Kroger deals combined with coupons, I found myself with a ton of canned soups and sauces with no where to put them. I started searching for storage for canned goods and found some outrageously overpriced stackable units, or entirely...

The last time we paid to have our taxes done, the guy charged us $160 and refused to give us the child tax credit or earned income credit, something like that. He said we didn’t need it or qualify for it or some such nonsense. I knew he was wrong, but also had a...

We have recovered from the routineless Holiday Season, almost, and are working on staying busy when homeschool is over and chores are done. My Wing Nut is insisting on learning to sew, mostly because he thinks he can sit down at the sewing machine and whip up a Ninja suit. And after watching me...

Normally, I like to use it to organize my week, but I am not feeling very motivated this week to get anything done. Sometime in the next 30 seconds I will have to come up with my own personal 10 Things list. You can list 10 Things about ANYTHING! 10 Things is different for...

A few months ago, E Nut pulled some already sprouted apple seeds from his apple and insisted that we plant them. It was something that I talked my way out of for years, but there was no way I could say no to him when they were already starting to sprout.

Since I got my sewing machine last month I haven’t really done much with it. Mostly repairing clothing and blankets and making cloth napkins. Nothing too exciting. Nothing to complicated. I needed a bit of time to get to know my new machine and get back into sewing on a machine again. I used...

This is the first freelance article I wrote about 5 years ago, back when the Yahoo! Contributor Network was Associated Content and before I started writing for eHow. This was also before I started blogging full time and only wrote a few posts a year randomly. Today is the last day that eHow will...

I had hopes and plans for this week. With 5 sick kids, none of it is getting done. As frustrating as it is, I am OK with it. The 3 big kids have had high fevers since last night and when I thought Owee’s had gone down, it came back. Honey Nut had the...
