Remember when I used to blog every day? Way back to last summer? Let’s just pick up there and keep on going! Remember 10 Things Tuesday?? I KNOW you do! It is my series of blog posts were I organize my To Do list for the week. The organizing of my week has always...Keep Reading Here »
Here is another 10 Things Tuesday blog hop that is too late to be a blog hop. This of course means that I have failed at at least 2 of my 10 things to do from last week. I suppose since I am late to bed, I need to get this ball rolling and...Keep Reading Here »
I know how completely ineffective it is to try to host a blog hop and not get it posted until the end of the day. That doesn’t usually stop me from trying though. I just got off the phone with some great Mended Little Hearts leaders for Virgina and SW Pennsylvania. I love conference...Keep Reading Here »
It wasn’t until yesterday, Valentines Day that I realized that I still have my Christmas tree up. Kinda hard to believe that I forgot that it was still standing there in the corner of the dinning room, but it is. It is especially hard to believe because I made of point of declaring that...Keep Reading Here »
The New Year is in full swing, my parents are gone and our house is quiet…well as quiet as a house full of kids can be. We are reluctantly getting back into our daily routine. Trying to get back into our routine anyways, after dinner tonight the kid tiptoed in to the living room,...Keep Reading Here »
If you haven’t noticed yet, I have a new page up in my menu bar called I’m Not Cheap, I’m Frugal. I used to have another blog with that title that was based on freebies, coupons, samples, penny pinching advice, great deals found and shared, simple ways I stretch a small budget for my...Keep Reading Here »
This has been one long week already! After yesterdays debacle I woke up today with every intention of shaking the bad energy from yesterday. I think I did a pretty good job at it. I definitely didn’t have a great day, but was able to move forward and get things done. Homeschool was slow...Keep Reading Here »
I had a bit of a set back for a few days with the weirdest bug I think I have ever had. Mr Wall Nut, myself and the little Nuts got a bug of sorts that drained us of all energy and coherent thought, without a fever or anything else. We all spent 2-3...Keep Reading Here »
Have you ever had one of those weeks where no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to get anything done? A good portion of the past week has been like that for me. I think some one might have spiked my kids milk with an extra bit of Crazy the other day...Keep Reading Here »
Tuesday is here again and it is time for me to look around my house and see what projects I need to finish up and which ones are due to be started. I have been feeling accomplished the past couple of weeks while we all settling into 3 kids that are homeschooling while still...Keep Reading Here »
Tuesday is here again and I am planning my projects for the week. It is a little known fact that Monday is actually the third and final day of the weekend. Many believe that Monday is the start of the new week, but they are wrong. Monday is a just a test run for...Keep Reading Here »
Things are moving along quickly at The Nut House! I am starting to feel like my old self again. And by old, I don’t mean that I am starting to feel like my old tired 40 year old body, I mean I am starting to feel like the young old self where I run...Keep Reading Here »
Since we moved the kids into our addition over the summer, The Nut House has been in a constant state of organization and reorganization. It felt a lot like we were moving to another home. Everything in 1 bedroom got divided up into 3 new bedrooms and many things from around the house got...Keep Reading Here »
10 Things Tuesdays has become my way of organizing my projects for the week, while keeping realistic goals of accomplishing 10 important things around the house and in my life…and be held accountable for them! As I am putting them out there for the world to see, I would feel like a super slacker...Keep Reading Here »
Since we started moving the Nuts into their new bedrooms in the addition, I have been doing some serious cleaning around The Nut House. We have so much space now! The addition we have been building for over 2 years almost doubles the size of the original house be bought just over 7 years...Keep Reading Here »
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
