Look for changes in the way our homepage is laid out. We are looking to add pages to advertise for and inform those interested in my home bookkeeping/accounting business.
I look forward to being able to work from home, help out with household expenses and still be able to be an involved parent. I know that being at home when our flocks gets here makes all the difference in the world, but I am also aware of the fact that we have plans for our future and we need to get a bigger nest egg.
Thanks to everyone,
Valerie & Brian

I have been looking forward to Christmas for months and months. I have shopped and wrapped and decorated for a solid month in preperation for one day. I am totally in love with my family. I have wanted nothing more than to see their eyes light up and the smiles on their little faces. I actually got to a point where I hated the thought of shopping.
This was the most amazing and beautiful Christmas EVER!! We had all of our family here for Christmas and that only made things here better. Having six children here was amazing. (Even though we already have five here)
Brian smiled so much his face stuck. He has such an amazing smile, so this is ok with me. I was also full of smiles, but smiling was a little overshadowed by the fact that my throat was so sore I was eating tylenol and advil like it was candy. Having everyone here also made us all realize how large our famly really is. Aaaahhhh…..isn’t life wonderful?
Now that Santa has left town we are swimming in boxes and packages and packaging from all of the wonderful things that Santa brought. I seem to recall telling Santa Clause that our kids already had so many things they didn’t have room for them, but Santa Clause wasn’t seemingly able to stop shopping.
So now here I sit. My kitchen has recovered from all the food that passed through it for so many days. We are still eating leftovers, but they are not of monster proportion anymore. I have taken down the ornaments and lights from the tree, by tomorrow I will have the lights off of the house. Because of the fact that our tree has been used for so many years, I will have to go tomorrow and buy a new rubbermaid container to put it away in. I will reclaim my living room and things will go back to normal.
The next holiday that I plan to be festive about is Valentine’s day. (You can’t be as in love as I am and NOT be festive on St. Valentine’s day!!)

Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker were having one of their little father and son chats, lightsabers drawn and sparks flying.
Vader pinned Luke against a bulkhead and glared into his face, “I know what you’re getting for Christmas, Luke,” he said, “Ohhh, yes! I know!”
Luke fought himself free and jumped to a higher platform just out of Vader’s reach, “How do you know!?” Luke yelled at him, “How do you know what I’m getting for Christmas!?”
Darth Vader shot Luke an icey glare, “I felt your presents.”

I was recently watching the news and saw a story on an amazing marketing idea that was about to begin in the San Francisco area. During the story, the reporter was already getting the opinion of the whiners and cryers. There is always SOMEONE who “speaks for the masses” that is going to whine and cry and rain on someone else’s parade. (The masses being the homeless who sleep in bus stop shelters)
Now, granted, I do not ride busses. I might never have had the opportunity to smell fresh chocolate chip cookies while waiting for a bus. However, there are millions of people that could have had that opportunity and now it has been taken away because of the bunny huggers of the world.

The holiday season is here. That was never more apparant than it was on this past Thursday. We cooked for two days to get ready for everyone to come to our house for dinner. After we filled our tummies we sat around and watched movies and almost all of us napped a little bit.
Our first movie choice was “Elf”, and everyone laughed and cut up while it was on. We then decided to put in a movie for the kids, and we all settled in and watched contently as we dozed off.
The entire day was filled with so much love that it was overwhelming. The kids went almost the entire day and didn’t bicker or fight. For most of the day, Brian was never out of reach. I never took ten steps without a hug or a kiss. **AAAAhhhhh** I was so relaxed at the end of the day I was sure that I would sleep like a baby.
As I looked around me on Thursday I realized that I have so much to be thankful for. I have the most beautiful family that loves and adores me as much as I love and adore them. I have a beautiful house that, though it might rarely be completely clean, is the perfect size for our not so little family. I have truly awesome and true friends that are there for the bad, just as much as the good. I am no longer wandering lost through this world alone, or feeling alone rather. I finally have my true partner. I have stability and peace of mind and nothing in this world could make me more thankful.
Santa Clause is coming a month from now and I am sure that this holiday season is going to be the most wonderful I have ever had, and I hope that I can make it just as special for my family. *Tomorrow, we DECORATE!!* YAY!
