Idle Hands are the Devil's Playground
Have you ever heard that before? Maybe that's why I like to be busy. Whether it's sewing, crocheting, scrapbooking, cooking, making soap, cleaning, reading, or any other activity, I'd rather be busy than just sitting.
I love that my children like to be busy as well. Abigail loves painting. Autumn loves stamping, or crocheting, or knitting. Collin loves to be playing outdoors. Mac almost always has a guitar in his hands.
I love to see my children creating. After all, aren't we created in out Maker's image?

Living out here makes for idle hands AND minds, one of the reasons I can't wait to get out of here.
People keep telling me that I'll be back to live here again; that I'm just having my "Dorothy Complex" and will return one day because there is "no place like home." I keep saying that I AM going home~to VA. Actually, every time someone tells me that I pray: "Oh, Lord, if I EVER think that I want to return here to live, please slap me upside the head and remind me why I left!"
Happy New Year Tracy!

This is one of the habits that I need to cultivate this year. I have been spending WAY to much time on the computer or just puttering around not getting anything done!
Wow, your girl is talented!
We spend a ton of time making things here too. Aubry loves to craft and the boys like to do Legos and paint with acrylics. Sometimes the mess drives me crazy, but I know it is better than being bored!
