And We're....Moving!

...across town anyways... :)

Yes, we have sold our house (well, waiting on the appraisal to be finished)...and so far, everything is going through nicely.

We put our house on the market (officially) the first of April, and after 2 showings got a good offer.  Unofficially, we will be closing May 30...SOON! 

We are in the works of starting to build a house.  Right now we are working on financing and blueprints.  Hopefully things will get rolling soon. 

In the mean time, we are going to be apartment dwellers...yay...(just a little *sarcasm*)   Eh, it will be ok.  We're going to make the best of it.  Neither Paul Michael nor I have ever lived in an apartment, so we'll just take this as a new adventure! 

Now on to the really important things, or one, I should say - Mr. Luke!  He is 15 months old today!  WOW!  Hard to believe.  I had a wonderful Mother's Day just with my boys yesterday.  I am so thankful for them.

11 Months & Lots of "Making"

So far, January has been a great month - no sickness!  It seems like we spent most of December with croup, the sniffles, or a rash!  The last rash, we have decided, was an allergic reaction to eggs!!!  We will talk more about this with our pediatrician the end of February. 

Luke has been busy being a little boy - getting into EVERYTHING! 

Mommy has been busy making all kinds of things. 

A while back I started making wipe solution - I make paper towel wipes but more often use cloth wipes!  It's so easy and saves money :)

I also started making my own toothpaste, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, shampoo, and anything else I can think of!  It's so fun trying new recipes (I don't know that Paul Michael would agree with that statement). 

My biggest project is SOAP!  I am making our soap now...from scratch...mixing the sodium hydroxide & water with oils.  Maybe I did learn something in all those chemistry classes :)
I'm also selling soap & lotion if you are interested.
