Etsy Sale thru Sunday at NeededInTheHome

Hello Friend, Well, we went from 58 degrees F here in Wisconsin to 20s with inches of snow within 24 hours. We were busy doing homeschool today when we heard very loud thunder. The younger kids are calling it "thunder snow." Household Changes My two adult sons are talking about moving out together with another roomate, so that will be interesting. I think it's easier on a Mama to have one move out at a time, but my big boys think I can handle it! Nope, but God will help me and then I will be...

happy girl with birthday cake and lit candles

Hello Friend, This week we celebrated my youngest's (of eight children) 6th birthday. When I was pregnant with her, the nurses kept commenting that I was their "oldest pregnant patient" as I was 45! God is so good and blessed us with Megan just four days after we moved into this home. To celebrate her birthday, I am offering 26% off items in my Etsy shop. Physical items now only ship within the US due to tariffs (I just don't have the time to figure all that legal stuff out, and Etsy's legal...

etsy coupon with code wonder10

Hello Friend, Let's answer the big question first - did I stay out of the JoAnn Fabric store? I mentioned it in this previous email. No, I did not! I went last night with my husband's blessing and he gave me a budget and I stayed in it. I did try to talk him and myself out of it though. I have enough fabric and yarn, I don't really need more. I spent too much at the grocery store this week. I didn't earn enough money this month to deserve this trip. Yet, he still blessed me with it - so I...

two young men on a trip in san juan

Hello Friend, If you know that I have eight kids with my youngest being only age 5, you might be surprised at my email subject line. But I am truly feelin' it this week! I woke up earlier than normal on Sunday - with literally no reason. I took my shower the night before, the house was pretty much clean for a change, I didn't have much laundry to fold - yet I felt a nudging to get up. I am a Christian and thought there must be something I need to read in my Bible today. So I did get up. Not...

cotton facial rounds with glass mason jars

Hello Friend, One way to save money is to look around your house and see what you can replace with reusable or handmade. Something that we use in our large family is cotton rounds to clean our face, remove makeup or apply toner or moisturizer. We don't have to throw money away anymore. We can use handmade cotton flannel facial rounds instead. You can easily make your own (out of cotton flannel fabric, or old flannel clothing, or an old cotton flannel receiving blanket) and sew them with a...

Hello Friend, Are you having a great day so far? It's so cold here in Wisconsin, I woke up to a raw temp of -14 F with a "feels like -26 degrees with windchill" in addition to the snow we received over the weekend. Today, there are lots of vehicles not starting in our area. I am concerned and praying for the people of Kentucky and surrounding areas this morning with all the crazy flooding and I heard there is cold weather heading that way too. For exercise in our homeschool today, I am using...

brother and sister at a bowling alley

Hello Friend, Happy Valentine's Day! We are having a really fun week here in Wisconsin. My four youngest children attended a Homeschool Valentines Bowling Party! I mentioned a little about it here in this post... Valentine’s Day Sugar Cookie Recipe The Party It was at a bowling alley that is in a town not far from us. My two youngest children were bowling on the same lane and really had a great time and enjoyed the pizza and soda pop that was offered at the event. Mitchell and Megan at the...
