Hey hey hey! I started the Weekly Ramble way back in 2010. It’s had many iterations over the last decade and a half, but it’s currently on the blog every Friday.
I’m a Christian, wife, mother, homemaker, (retired) homeschooler, open nester, and writer. Here’s what’s been on my mind:
Whew. That week flew by – it wasn’t the most fun, to be honest. I think I’ve been riding on the euphoria of summer and getting resettled into another year in this house. Now, this week we’ve not only got the roller coaster emotions of going back to school but also a renewed need to…
This week I ramble about clutter, the consumption of housekeeping, and home decor. Wow! It was a full week! Church on Sunday like normal. It was so nice to have a day of rest. I think we all needed it. (Here’s what I do for Sabbath Prep in case you missed it.) On Monday I…
Well, that week flew by. Wow. What did I even do? The calendar certainly had stuff on it, but some things got switched up so the week was chill and it just flew by. I guess that’s good. I was supposed to drive to Santa Clarita today to see my mom and sister, but I…
Hello, Hi, How are you? We’re rolling into the end of the month. That went fast, didn’t it? Since we’re all ladies here (Men, this is your warning to click away), I am taking the opp to suggest that there may be a lot about menopause and God’s design for The Change that people haven’t…
Is it Saturday already? The week just flew by! Isn’t that lovely? FishChick15 and I went to a baby shower this morning. My friend Emily is the most welcoming of hostesses, and dang, she makes it all beautiful, too! Isn’t that gorgeous?! She had a cutie theme thread throughout along with custom cookies, fresh local…
Hello! Hi! How are you? I shall start this ramble with a clean kitchen. Doesn’t that make you smile? It took me two hours to get it there yesterday. Even though I hadn’t cooked in over 24 hours. Kids had been cooking and baking and ran out of time to clean up after themselves before…
I had a very full kitchen today, basically trying to prep all the weekend meals in advance so that no one has to cook tomorrow. This is my third week doing this and it definitely makes for a full Saturday! We binged a few episodes of Sherlock which kept it entertaining. The girls never really…
Hello, hi, how are you? How did your week go? We are nearing a year of living in our current rental. It’s been interesting to see the differences across the seasons. The roses have gone absolutely wild. Remember this ginormous bouquet? Those are flowers from this bush pictured. Recently, I realized the power of deadheading….
Summer is officially here! Do you know how you’re going to spend it? Cue the theme song from Phineas and Ferb. Bryan and the kids worked their way through all of those episodes back when the kids were little and we had cable. To this day I cannot think of summer vacation without thinking of…
Oh me oh my! Are we really halfway through June? Being sick all of May really was a time warp for me. This week I’ve done what was unthinkable a few weeks ago: get up at 5 am every morning. I know. But, like this palm tree Bryan found at work growing through the asphalt,…
