Hello all in blog land. I am so excited that I now have a "cute" page. I found 'that' person who "gets" the technical stuff and she was able to walk me through the steps to make it happen. And bless her heart...she didn't feel good, but she did it anyway. Thanks so much April!! I LOVE IT! :0)
Now I know how to change my background, (hopefully) and will utilize all the darling backgrounds I've found on "The Cutest Blog On The Block". Those gals are so talented. Thanks for the 'cute' free backgrounds!! I'm addicted. I just need a "birdie" to add to my page and I'll be set. You know, from birdies nest, it needs a bird, and maybe a nest. Oh how I wish I knew how to do this kind of stuff. In my trusty notebook, I drew a picture of a cute tree with a nest and a family of 3 birds. If I could just get it on this page/blog!
Anyway, I still want to start from "the beginning" of our story, but that will require some time and thought, how I want to actually write it for all to see. So many ideas swirling around in my head...or are those my marbels?
It is getting late and I have to work tomorrow. I'm supposed to, if my birdie would just get better and stay well. She has had croup, and now...possibly pink eye. I'll know for sure in the morning. I just hate having to wake a sleeping child, to find out what they will be like. Should they stay home, go to school? 'Cause you know good and well they won't go back to sleep if they are to stay home. That's when the day begins...a sick kid awake that should still be asleep, that I woke up. It is a vicious cycle.
It's a MOMs job, right ladies?
Well, off to bed, don't know what tomorrow holds, but God already does. So why should I fret? He's got me covered!
Night all!

Post 3
I am trying to make my page all cutesy, and I need alot more technical help. But for now...here is another post.
I have been super busy being a single mom while hubs was on travel for 11 days. WOW! I have a whole new appreciation for single parents. Those 11 days were espacially hard for several reasons: 1) The weather was extremely cold and he usually manages the pellet stove. Filling it and cleaning it, but I did all that plus putting blankets in front of drafty doors. 2) A very dear friend of mine passed away, very unexpectedly. Hard dealing with the emotions and having a child in tow that does not understand my emotions; plus helping with the arrangements for the memorial service at our church. This too my hubby usually handles, the behind the scenes in the "big scary kitchen". Have I mentioned what a great guy he is? He does alot for and with our family. Like all the cooking...he is much better at it plus he really enjoys cooking, and I hate it. I am the dishwasher, though. So, while he was gone I had plenty of TV dinners and quick microwave meals. We (daughter & I) are glad he's home, to handle the tough stuff, plus we are ready for a good home-cooked meal. BTW, I did cook a casserole one night and we then had left overs, but that was the extent of my cooking. I always say, "I would cook more if we had a better functioning kitchen", but I kinda doubt it, but it would be alot prettier. He wants a functional/usable kitchen while I want a pretty and decorative kitchen. One of these days...years!
I still want to start from the beginning of "our story". Just need that technical help to get it going in the right direction. Thanks for the prayers and support. I want this to be a huge success, for people out the who need encouragment and to share my faith and how the Lord has helped us all these years.
Thanks for stopping by.

Here comes Post #2...
Hi there,
I am excited to get this blog up and running. So far there have only been a few oopsies. I usually have alot of them. So I think that is pretty good for me.
I have been researching and checking out different blogs under lots of subjects to get a feel for what is right/wrong, good/bad, helpful/waste of time.
I want my blog to be right, good and helpful, with tips and encouraging words. Bible verses will be added for a godly tip of the day, along with various topics and sharing of the goofiness of my life. Believe me, it is "goofy".
These are just practice pages, I think I need some help from someone who 'gets' all this technical stuff. I have a couple of people in mind, just have to ask for their help and get our schedules to match. That part will be the hardest.
D (hubs-the blog lingo for husband) just left on travel to TX. So birdie and I (and Tori, the pup) have the house to ourselves. Girls only!! Hhmmm, what shall we do? Well, for starters, birdie has Jazz at 10:45 so I get some alone/quiet time. Then we have to go to Walmart for our bi-monthly shopping trip. 2 carts full. How can three people go through so much stuff? But since D is gone, he is my cook, we will probably have lots of TV dinners. So easy, no dishes to do and no cooking. Gotta love it! Then it will be home and put all the loot away then RELAX. Maybe a movie... Hey, I said we were homebodies. We love our nest!
Well, that is all for now, cause birdie woke up. Now the day can begin.

Testin' out the new blog...
Hello out there, I am new to this blogging stuff and I hope I do it right and can share something helpful, useful and most important, encourage others in a positive way.
So here goes!
This has been a desire of mine for a long time, I just didn't know exactly what "it" was I really wanted to do. But hopefully sharing my story will help or encourage someone else facing the same situation.
"From Birdies Nest" has been a name I have wanted to use for many years, for some type of home business. My husband and I have called our little girl "birdie" since she was born. She was born 16 days late and was tiny and did not make any noise except for a little 'chirpping' sound and ate like a bird. As she grew older she loved watching birds with her grandma, and liked to feed them. So, the nickname stuck. And since we are all homebodies, the info I share from our home can be translated 'from our nest', hence the clever (at least I think its clever) title "From Birdies Nest".
In another post, I will give alot more detail and share more of her story as well as our story as a family. Trust me, its unique!
This being my first 'post', I don't want to scare anyone away. Just testin' the waters...
I'll be back later. Hope you like what I have so far.
I plan on adding pictures and various tabs about our life and my likes and passions. My daughter is definitely one of my favorites! (It has been said that I have a shrine of her on my bookshelf. P.S. I love pictures and cute picture frames, therefore I have them displayed on my bookshelf.) Makes sense to me.
Anyway, be back later...
