Five on Friday!!!

Good morning everyone, here I am back with another Five on Friday.

I'm trying to post every day or at least more than once a week, I am starting to feel like I may be losing my blogging mojo and that saddens me.  I could easily go a week or so without even thinking about my blog and the thought that I may actually stop blogging one day, just doesn't sit well with me.

This little blog of mine has been a huge part of my life since 2006, so many memories, happy moments, sad moments, pics of my children growing up etc., has been shared here and I would hate to see it all end.

But to be able to continue blogging I need to find something to blog about, get interested again, and I think daily features like this Five on Friday may just be what I need.

Anyway, I'm once again linking up with Amy over at Love Made my Home.  Go on over and say hi if you get a chance :)




1.  Missing my kids being little.  
It's been a huge issue for me this past week, I don't know, but I just have been missing them being toddlers.  Sometimes I see moms taking their little ones to the park to play and I miss those days.  I miss pushing them around in a stroller or watching a cutesy cartoon with them.  I actually wrote a blog post about it yesterday, you can check it out if you want.


2.  Devouring documentaries
I tend to go through these phases where latch onto something and for a few weeks or months, that is all that I want to do.  Movies, books, documentaries, historical events etc.  Lately I've been devouring documentaries of any and all kind.   Some of my latest watches have been Alcatraz, Hard Time, Escape from a Nazi Death Camp and Witch Hunt:  A Century of Murder which is brilliant.  You can watch the first part below:



3.  Fall is in full force around here
The trees are changing, the leaves are falling and I have such a fun time finding evidence of this season all over the place.




4.  Homeschooling
The kids are both struggling a bit with the amount of work they have on their plates.  My daughter is in 11th Grade and my son in 7th and it really is quite a big work load.  I know they get frustrated at times, but I keep reminding them both that when college comes around it will be even worse so it's good to get some good experience now.


5.  Adorable Candle Warmers
My husband bought me this candle warmer last weekend, he knows how much I love country looking things and chickens and barns.  How absolutely perfect is this?

Five on Friday!!!

Good morning friends, and a very Happy Friday!!!

I decided to do something a little different today and join in with Amy over at Love made my home, with her Five on Friday.

It's my first time joining in and I'm not quite sure how it really works, but, I'll get right on with it and share 5 things that made me smiles this past week.

If you want to join in, please go and say hi to Amy, grab her button, write your post up and then go back and link with her and all the other Five on Friday participants. :)


1.  My grandmother has been so poorly the past two weeks, but she's making wonderful progress and is getting back to her old usual self.  We've learned so much the past few days, mostly about the Lord's power to perform miracles.  This wonderful lady was at death's door, we said our goodbyes, and then a day later she woke up and was back to normal.  Unbelievable!!!!


2.  The most beautiful of Fall weather has crept up on us here in North Texas.  I've smiled just watching the season take hold, the leaves changing, the beautiful sunrises and the seasonal flowers bloom.

3.  Food, food and more comfort food.  I love cooking and I love baking and I truly believe that one of the best ways to take care of my family and to show them how much I love them, is through the meals I serve them. 


Beef and Chicken baked with Yogurt


4.  Catching up on some favorite TV shows and finding new ones.  I've watched quite a few this past week, here are a few that I'm really enjoying.






5. Corners of my house.  Those little nooks and crannies that bring a smile to my face every single day.  It's those little spaces that I've added a special little touch, or just something to make it feel homey and cozy.  I like nothing more than pottering around my house and when I walk by an area and see a simple touch of homeliness, it makes the monotonous chores not so bad.
