One Small Change: My January Change

Happy New Year All!!! About a week ago I found a post by the mom at Hip Mountain Mama. She is challenging any one who desires to make one small change each month from January to Earth Day in April. The changes can be big or small what ever you feel you can handle and see them through to completion.

I have had to put a lot of thought into this idea. With Josh not working still, money is ...well not really here. During this time we are being blessed by our friends and the community. This means food and household changes are almost impossible. We already use less fuel , check . We heat with a wood stove, check. Compost, check. Recycle, check. So along with a few other things we already do to conserve what ever we can , I asked my self what is left?

I thought I could, even with small and some times non existent budget, I could try eliminating boxed cereal from our kitchen and diet. At first I thought it would be hard to find good easy to make ( specifically cold cereal). Well last night I found this great sight Mr Breakfast. It had many great recipes and a good number of them were for COLD CEREAL Yahoo !!! I am hoping that at least one of them will be liked by my picky boy, the other 4 I think would eat dirt if you made it look good (haha). :)

So this is my small change for January. I will post the recipes and pictures as we try them.
Thanks for stopping by and check out

Much Love Melly

Joys of the season!...

I know they are not the best pictures... but I could not miss sharing this moment of baby joy with you! The older kids helped string the traditional popcorn and cranberries and Dag helped eat it!

I pray you all truly enjoy the little joys of this glorious season! Love Melly

THE SWEATER!!!!

Wow I can't believe I knit my first sweater! I am so pleased with how well it came out. The pattern was so great and simple to follow. With 5 little ones running around I need simple, or it doesn't get done. Sorry the pictures aren't so good (need a new camera). I was able to find some lovely buttons to go with it they are clay with sail boats on them. I was so glad to find them. While making the sweater I said to one of my sisters doesn't the color remind you of the sea! So the sail boats were a must. Isn't Dag so cute! The sweater makes him so iresistable to being held and held and held!

But then again he is 11 months so the holding only lasts so long ( they grow to fast).

It took me just a week, friday to friday. The rest of the kids want one. So here I go knit, knit, knit!!! I will share pictures as they happen.

Oh Where to start....

I guess our new front door is a good place to start!

So much has happened since I last had the chance to journal here. Just a few of the things in our crazy summer...my wonderful sister-in-law got married Yahoo. It was a great and beautiful and fun and very love filled day. I do have pictures to post from that blessed day, but with the earlier then expected move some things got misplaced (not surprising).
In short God has greatly blessed us in many more ways then we could ever have thought possible. But then again it our thoughts and minds are so limited compared to His.
For those who are wondering we know live in BEAUTIFUL Eliot Maine. I love it sheep next door sheep down the street......to be continued soon I hopE....

Home at last! Aaahhh. Fresh air. The comforts of home we have been home about an hour and we already have laundry going, baby in a cloth diaper, bread going in the bread maker. Oh how I love being home.
Will post pics later of our trip to and from Chicago for sis-in -law's wedding it was so lovely and full of Mennonite tradition. The dancing oh the dancing!.....
