Comment on Never Ending Chores (and a chore chart I’m loving) by Meredith

I love this chore chart! I have an older child and two in elementary school, and while the oldest knows her jobs, it’s always the younger boys who either don’t care or don’t realize they need to help. I love this idea, though! Thanks!

I show love by sacrifice. My husband and I are opposites when it comes to how we feel loved. Me? It’s attention through thoughtfulness or touch. Him? Chores. Yeah, chores. So, it is sacrifice for me to lay aside something that I may deem important (like entering giveaways ) and vacuum or de-clutter something. With my children, it’s face -to-face play time. Playing cars or trains with my little boy and playing peek-a-boo with the littlest. Sacrifice is love. Preferring another over yourself.

Comment on Creativity Captured: Chelle’s Creations by falwyn

falwyn — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 01:39:54 +0000

I think Chelle is the top of my “to collect” list. I love that her elements are simple and cute without being “too cute.” (Very subjective taste thing, I know!) I would use my gift certificate on her In Harmony and Zoo kits, to start with!

It’s true. I’ve been having a lot of these moments lately. I’ve decided – it’s not that it GOES so fast, it’s that it’s GONE so fast. Your quote on the blackboard above is good too.

I show love by giving my family hugs, telling them I love them and what is special about them and making sure we spend time together as a family whether it’s going out for dinner or hanging out at home watching a movie or playing games.

Another fab giveaway!! I show love in lots of ways, but one way that I do it is by slipping little notes in my kids’ backpacks and John’s bag for work. It brightens my day to know that it brightens their day!

I show love by caring – always being there for whoever needs me, whether it’s a my hubby, my kids, friends, strangers… Plus I smother my kids with smooches and hugs.

Comment on Breast is Best? by falwyn

falwyn — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 21:31:33 +0000

I’m glad you’ll be helping support others in this – it really is so important.

I breastfed both my two – the first for a year or so (I actually don’t remember exactly – eek! Will have to look it up) and the second for 18 months. The first time was VERY hard at first – latching problems, and a cracked nipple (but Lansinoh really helped with that!) – but I’m so glad we kept at it.

The one thing I’ll add to everyone else’s comments – is enjoy it while you can! I never thought that my second would be my last time (it’s not impossible there’ll be more, but it’s looking less and less likely after 7 years), and I know sometimes medical situations suddenly happen that require weaning. So savor this special time!

I can tell you with my oldest it was difficult to have his world separate from mine, but he never stopped hugging me or saying “Love you Mom” on the phone, not even when he’s with his girlfriend. He’s 19. But the “baby,” who’s now 15… OMG he used to have the cutest elfin ears and mile-wide grin and would say things like, “Mom, that’s my FRA-vrit!!” Now he’s tall and lanky and awkward, his voice is DEEEEEP and he corrects my grammar. I miss my baby!!!!!

I feel that way with all of them–still. A few days ago, when I first heard John’s voice on the phone, I had to fight back tears and a lump in my throat. Tonight, I miss Jared so much that this is blurry. I have a wonderful life, lots of things going, but sometimes I just miss my kids, all 8 of them, and the grandkids. If they were unhappy where they are, it would be unbearable for me.

I think there are moments where the “growing up” tugs on your heartstrings with each child. I actually think it’s harder with the last than the first.

Aunt Dana — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:35:31 +0000

It was just yesterday. Really. I was looking at the calendar and yesterday you were a little four year old girl and so cute and full of bright ideas and independent spirit and then I turned around and you were a petulant teenager and then I blinked and you were getting married to Jared and before my eyes opened you had Ryan and then he turned six. Can’t you at least feed him some coffee and cigarettes and slow things down a bit so I will recognize him next time I see him? Could you also ask him what they sit on in Canada? I wonder if he’ll remember. I miss you all so much. Please forgive me for stalking you on your craft page. I love you so much and would lurk outside your kitchen if I could.

I will gloat for only a second that my 6- and 7- year-olds still like to hold hands with me, haha. But in all honesty, I hear you on the “wasn’t that just a minute ago?” thing. In just a few short months Caleb will be getting baptized… BAPTIZED?!?!! I usually do okay and love living in the moment we are in now, but when I think of that I always cry. He will be a “real” boy when that happens. He will be accountable for his actions. Have I taught him what he needs to be ready? Will I myself be ready for that? Right now I’m afraid to answer those questions. So I will try to remember that he is mine for now, and not worry about what lies ahead.

I LOVE CHELLE! I can’t wait to meet her some day in person. Not only are her products FABULOUS, but I love her tutorials and I love learning a little about her life and family. I relate to her very much as we have similar families, similar interests, and a shared faith.

If I won the coupon I would put it towards Grandma’s Garden Bundle. I have Grandpa’s Garden Bundle and by the summer I want to have it’s complement.

THANKS so much, Pam, for having Chelle as your guest. And thanks to both of you for the coupon and the CHANCE to WIN!

Major time saver!
Put the hamburger in the slow cooker, add a cup of water, and cook on high 6-8 hours. I use my Pampered Chef Mix ‘n Chop to break up the meat every couple of hours as it cooks, but you could just do that step at the end too (if you’re cooking it overnight for example).Then drain the grease, let cool in fridge, and package!
