Chaos Tip for Bathrooms

So does your chaos ever stem from having only one bathroom? We have a large family and lots of overnight company, sometimes as many as 3 or 4 extra at a time. (Friends who know me in real life are wondering right now "Where does she put them?!")

So sometimes it is a constant in and out of the bathroom when everyone is getting ready. At other times it means ducking in while someone is in the shower and hollering at them "It's me, just need to brush my teeth"...get the hairbrush...whatever the case may be! Although, mind you, we don't do that to company! We don't put on airs around here and we do like to make folks feel at home, but that would be a little too much of the family treatment!

But have you noticed how the mirror is all fogged up when you go in the bathroom after they get out of the shower? Now you could smear it up with a towel, stand there with a blow dryer and risk electrocution in the steam, purchase those anti-fog wipe things, or....clean your mirror with shaving cream! Try it! I'm no chemist so I can't tell why it works but it does. It's also great if your hubby likes to shave in the shower and he doesn't have one of those anti-fog mirrors.

Oh, and just for the record. A rainy day idea for the kiddos. Let them play in shaving cream in the tub, at the countertop, wherever. It cleans and shines it up, it smells great and they have a great time! :0)

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking,

Need Prayers

Yesterday I went to my regular doctor's appt. They could not find the baby's heartbeat. Ultrasound showed that for reasons that are simply unknown right now, the baby has died. If I do not deliver on my own by Monday, then I will be induced. We know that God has a purpose in every life, no matter how short. Right now, there are a jumble of feelings. I'm sure the coming days will be no different. We went to my son and told him in person. He came on home as he wants to be here for all of us, particularly FlowerChild, as she leans on him so much. We haven't told the girls yet as we just aren't sure how to handle that at this point. Today in the South the snow is falling and they feel like it is Christmas. I would rather let them have that and watch their delight as they play. It's not important when they find out so much as it is that I find the right way to tell them. I will probably come at it from the direction of a premature birth or that the baby is sick. Th

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!
