I got this sourdough kit for Mother’s Day and I finally have the time to try it out. Please give me all your tips, as I am not the best baker. I will have to use whole wheat flour for health reasons. Any advice is greatly appreciated! #emergingcreator #homesteading #sourdough #countrylife

The rooster was all decked out is his lights for Christmas but the mean ole grinch is trying to steal them. #lemon8diarychallenge #christmasdecor #grinch #christmasvibes #christmas

Our rooster got a new costume today. The spiders have attacked. I can’t believe how hard it was to find Halloween stuff this year. Not my favorite look we have done but the kiddos like it. #lemon8diarychallenge #chickens #halloween #rooster #boymom

God’s masterpiece is so awesome!!! #lemon8diarychallenge #nightsky #night #godisgood #masterpiece

It is nights like tonight that I look up at the sky and seeing the beautiful moon, fluffy clouds and stars and it reminds me that Life is busy, grief is hard but there are better days ahead! Remember the world is a better place with you in it, so don’t give up and Stay Another Day! ***In loving mem

When paw-paw isn’t feeling well and your sweet son wants to make him feel better. Paw-Paw is picky about his hair but today little man can do whatever he wants. #lemon8diarychallenge #pawpaw #grandson #boymom #sweetboy #love #family

I’ve visited 15 states in the United States! And my favorite states are Tennessee, Florida and Arizona so far. My bucket list includes Hawaii, Alaska, California and New York. #statesivebeento #lemon8dairychallenge

When your son’s birthday is on Monday but he begs for his present since it got delivered today. Now, we have a shark boy in our house. He is obsessed with sharks and loves this hooded onesie blanket and shark slides we found on Amazon! He said they are the best presents ever!!!! #summerdiary

Oh no I’ve been spotted!!! This is the look Poppy gets when Winnie (our pug puppy) finds her hiding spot for the night. Poppy plays with Winnie but only when she wants to, otherwise she stays out of reach. #Petlover #russianblue #cat #catsoflemon8 #petsoflemon8 #summerdiary #lemon8

Winnie was really quit. We went to see what she was doing and this is what we found. We would not let her in the tub with our son so once he got out, she got in. She even knocked her shampoo off the side of the tub. Needless to say, Winnie got her bath. I’ve never had a dog that begged for a bath.

I am sitting here reading and look over to see this. These boys sure love their dad. It is amazing how much adopting these two has changed our lives for the better. It makes my heart smile watching my husband be the best dad. These boys went through more than we will ever know before coming into ou

Most of you see a blurry picture with a boy being completely “silly.” I see memories. I see a boy who is so happy with who he is that he is not scared to be goofy in a selfie that he took in a full restaurant. I see someone that just wants to make me smile because he knows mom has a lot of bad days

Winnie looks like the sweetest little pug angle and some times she is but right after this we chased her for 15 minutes to keep her out of the woods and off of the road. So much for potty time off the leash. #summerdiary #lemon8contest #lemon8diarychallenge #pug #perlover #puppy #d

Mom, I just can’t do the steps today. It’s hot out here and I’m little. Go down the steps to get her and she takes off running. As you said sweet pea, it’s to hot and this mom is not chasing you today! Thank you to whoever made treats so I did not have to chase her today!!! #summerdiary #lemo

I am so excited for my new gift from my husband. A She Shed just for me. Finally, I have a place to store things and work in my crafts without having it all over my room. #summerdiary #lemon8contest #sheshed #craftymom #shed #newprojects
