Houston, we have a problem.

We are in the process of deciding if this kitty is the solution.




We live in a 70+ year old farm house and that means mice move in when the weather turns cold.
Brian put traps around the house and basement but if that doesn't work we might have to get a cat. The kids would be thrilled and surprisingly I think this little kitty would be too. He showed up on our porch last week and I couldn't help but put a dish of dogfood out for him. I figured it wouldn't hurt anything to give a stray some food. "What did you expect?" Brian said when the cat returned every day since for more handouts.

When he tried to get in the house a couple days ago I realized he wasn't just a stray. He's been around humans and is very friendly. Could he be the solution to our mouse problem?
We're going to give the traps a few more days and if they don't pan out we might be giving Houston (Huey for short) a tour of our home....

    Our last house was 80 years old, and we also found out we had mice. But, our lame-o cat only caught them and played with them, which was even worse... She'd drag them into the bedrooms and chase them around.. Hope this cat is a killer :)

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able.

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean...

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses !
