Beehive and Bird's Nest

I am a smart and sassy wife and mother with six lovely offspring (three boys, three girls). I dislike going places with them; it's such hard work. So we stay home most of the time and enjoy our chaos without an audience. Here I am, a Queen Bee with a house full of drones (if only . . .), a nest full of noisy fledglings. Honestly, I just like my little cocoon. I love doing homey things like baking and sewing and reading and decorating. This blog is about all of that.

Item of the Week--Lighters and matches

Have you ever had the power go out and you can find candles but you can't find anything to light them with? That always happens to me.

Unless you're really into starting fires with steel wool and batteries, I suggest you get a couple of extra lighters and a box of matches.

This should be one of the easiest weeks since you can get these things just about any place: Craft store, grocery store or even at the 7-11. Get at least two lighters and a big box of matches.

I learned from someone who had their power shut off for non-payment, that if you're going to live by candle light, you need TWICE AS MANY matches as you think. He looked at my supply and said "you need a lot more than THAT!"

A tip I hope we never have to use... :)
