Well... Hello There!

Hey all!  I know it's been forever since I've popped on here. I apologize.  Last year I had some sort of viral bug that wouldn't let me go.  Then in January, when I thought I was on the mend, we got pregnant!  With that came all day morning sickness.  Morning sickness mixed with the last of this viral thing meant I felt pretty cruddy 24/7. My family has been super helpful.  Between hubby running more than the usual errands and the kids cooking more and taking care of more things around the homestead I haven't had to do too much.  I've kept up with the shop with their help, but blogging kind of was put on the back burner.  It's kind of hard to want to write about food, recipes, and decorating when you feel mighty cruddy and exhausted. I'm still not 100%.  I get tired easily, it takes me a while to get going in the morning, and I can't walk too much because of pregnancy aches and pains, but when you're near 40 and pregnant with your ninth child I guess that's to be expected. We can't wait for the new little one to make their arrival mid/end of September! 


So. I'm back (to a minimal extent) and ready to share our lives and home and some yummy recipes with you all.  You won't see a post every day, or even every other day, but I'm here and hopefully there's someone here to read it. 

If you haven't visited the shop in a while go take a peek!  There are lots of new signs that have been added in the last month or so. This Family Rules one was just added yesterday!

I'll be back soon with a recipe and a giveaway from Gooseberry Patch!  A while back they asked me to review their new campfire and grilling cookbook and since we went camping a few weeks ago I jumped at the chance to try some new campfire recipes! 

Blessings!
Carmen
