Wiphan Cookbooks {& a funny story}

The Wiphan Cookbooks were a HIT last year…soooo…THEY’RE BACK! And JUST in time for Christmas!!! One review we hear OVER and OVER and OVER from those who have purchased it is that THIS cookbook is their “go to cookbook” for just about everything! It’s chalked full of delish recipes as well as stories of orphans […]

I loved the story! I am a speech therapist and I am constantly thinking about how words are spelled and how they sound. I also homeschooled my daughter last year and taught her how to read and I agree with you that we should spell words how they sound! Thanks for sharing your embarrassing story…it made me smile. 🙂

For the record, I like phonics too :-). And trust me, you don’t scare me. I mean, I can barely handle Madeline’s second grade math… Somehow they’ll turn out ok. 🙂

I once spent at least 20 minutes looking for “moroccan” beans, which i could not find anywhere when i finally realized that my recipe said “one more can of beans”. haha! so i know the feeling:)

How Does She??? {& Bama Fans?!}

Have you ever visiting that “How Does She” site? Well, it’s full of incredible ideas–that I surely couldn’t dream up–followed by step-by-step instructions on how to do it all. My best friend Kelly is a frequenter of that site–and every time she whips up something fantabulous–I ask her where she got the idea…without fail she […]

andrea! yeah! I’m so excited to get the opportunity to come to created for care! can’t wait to meet you – I’ve heard wonderful things. following your blog now 🙂

Once again, thank you for your honesty, Andrea. So many times the pictures on the blogs can paint an unrealistic picture of women and how we can do it all perfectly. I know this isn’t intentional but it happens. It’s good to pause and thank all those people that are part of “our village” every once in a while. God Bless!!

Way to keep it real, sweet friend. I have reached my limit many times lately and sometimes feel like all I do is clean up one mess after another and what about actually enjoying these little people while I have them?? I definitely could use some help!

The video was the BEST way to open my day!! I just might have to watch that again!! =) And yes, I’ve wondered where you find the Superwoman strength to do all that you do – but more important than that, what stands out for me about you, is that you are a Do’er. You don’t make excuses, you just DO. You are so fantastic and such a great example.

Frank’s got moves!!! watch out ladies.

Alison - November 29, 2011 - 4:51 pm

Good to know there is another mom out there who can’t do it all too! I finally had to let go of my unrealistic expectations on myself, and (like you said) just do the most important things! And I’ve had to learn to say no (and then not let myself feel guilty about it!)! 🙂

Dawn Wright - November 29, 2011 - 9:11 pm

You are sooo FUN!!! It’s true- no one can do it all, but PRAISE GOD HE allows us to do what we can and takes over the rest!

LOVE YOUR KIDS!!!! 🙂

Gretchen - November 30, 2011 - 12:21 am

Those moves of Frank’s are too funny! My 4 year old has some good ones but I haven’t captured them on video. He gets reserved if the camera comes out or if anyone is “watching” him! Loved it!

Thank you for sharing, Andrea! I will be the first to admit, I have always thought,”How in the world does she do it all?”..it really helps those of us who can’t do it all feel a bit better knowing that you also need help to juggle all the MANY tasks of being a Mommy! We all “wear so many hats” that it can be way overwhelming if we don’t ask for help. Love your honesty as always! (:

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
