Holy Week (and it's not over yet)

What a wonderful week we have had...and it's not over yet. This is the first year that we have really taken the time to be in the Word as a family and really reflect on what this week is all about. Thanks to the wealth of ideas posted by Monica and ideas in Homespun Memories for the Heart it has been an exciting week in which we have learned so much! So here is our week so far...


"Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!"
John 12:13


Webb cut palm branches and we read from our Read and Learn Bible. Then we laid our jackets and blankets down on the floor and waved our palm branches shouting "HOSANNA!" The girls had a lot of fun with it. We talked about how excited we would be if Jesus had walked in and walked across the path that we made for him.



"Then He poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples feet
and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded."
John 13:5
"If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet,
you also ought to wash one another's feet.
For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you"
John 13:14-15



Day 2: We washed each others feet! I actually enjoyed it and know that Cat and Sam had fun (Becca wasn't feeling well, but did want her feet washed). Webb even let me use my "smelly" sugar scrub on his feet! They had way too much fun with my feet...very ticklish feet and they all know it.

I will try to post the rest tomorrow, but still need to finish my Easter dress, so we will see. But, will get it up. How are you spending your week?

Tuckered Toddler

Webb and I got home one night from a night out alone (few and far between these days) and little Sam had fallen asleep on Cat's bed. Just too cute not to snap a photo.

I want to be a loser

I hate to admit how complacent I have gotten with being healthy.  I know what I need to do which makes it much worse than just being ignorant.  I know how to count calories (or points).  It's a simple equation more output than input.  Add in chaos and the need of convenience and it no longer seems quite as simple.  In addition to the chaos I have a huge weakness for sugar!  Preferably the chocolate variety.  But really any sort of 'sweet' will do.   My hubby and I came to a so called agreement right after Christmas.  I will give up sweets and he will give up soda (his weakness).  "Give up" is so very harsh.  Neither of us has been perfect with it.  He of course has done much better than I.  Unfortunately for him I am weak and when I have given into my sweet tooth I have tended to bring him a Coke.  Oh only upon typing that out did I realize how horrible I have been.  Did it take anyone else back to Genesis?...

The Scoop

Why I ventured into homemade laundry detergent, I am still not so sure. I think that my ultimate goal, as it is with most things, is to save money. I try to be a "savvy shopper" and for me that is not just about shopping. It is also about finding ways to save on things that we use every day. Maybe I should say I try to be a "savvy saver". Either way I had been hearing about laundry detergent from other moms at park day and read where a friend had made some. I figured what have I got to lose and my stockpile of detergent was dwindling. I purchased the ingredients and made it. Here is what I used. This recipe is supposed to last for approximately 4-6 months. I figured we would be around 3-4 months as we seem to have many, many loads of laundry each week. I prefer powder over liquid detergent so this fit. PROS: The clothes came out clean. I didn't have to put in anything extra. I did still use bleach for my whites. Not sure if it was needed or not...
