911 & Rolling Pins

It's another Works For Me Wednesday over at We Are That Family and I'm joining in.

Let's start of with 911. I'm truly blessed we have this service in our community! Here's the scoop. Around 10:30 this morning we arrived home from swim team. The family has all been under the weather so Superman was with us. Just down the street from our home he says (rather loudly and very controlled), "What is going on at our house?"

Huh? I'm looking all around trying to figure out what he is talking about. Then as we get closer I see 4 police cars then a couple of undercover vehicles.... We pull up just in front of our home and an Officer says,"Sir stay in your vehicle and back it down the street".

Superman responds by letting him know one of our Chickadees was in the home. He said that he knew.


6 Officers, GUNS DRAWN start up our front steps to the entry. While other Officers were behind the house ready and waiting. I cannot describe what was going through my mind and heart at that moment. I just keep calling on the Lord. The girls were all crying.

We pull back to our neighbors house. My neighbor runs out to let me know our Chickadee is safe in her home. Praise the Lord. I'm still freaked out and teary eyed!

A few minutes later the police come out of our home. They, then take Superman and Urban Girl in for a walk through. The other Officers come out from behind our home. (Still Freaking- me not the Officers).

Seems Urban girl heard some rather unusual noises and tried contacting me. When she couldn't reach me she called 911. I'm very proud of her!!! She kept a level head and did what was best. Of course now she's second guessing herself, but she will bounce back. She made a smart move and it could have saved her life! Praise the Lord!
Superman said I need to get better with keeping the camera on me at all times. He said I could have had some pictures of the gun drawn officers...funny...




On to Rolling Pins! Actually, the Officer asked Superman about my rolling pin fetish. He noticed it next to my side of the bed and thought it was out of place (can I just tell you I'm glad the house was pretty clean:).

I keep rolling pins next to my bed for extra security. No, not really. With the dreams I have I'm surprised Superman lets me keep them there!
I have Plantar Facitis. I use a big leather belt for stretching my foot and the pins are for massaging the heel. Do they work! I do this a couple of times a day and it has made a world of difference. I'm still not able to get out and walk with my walking partners, but I can at least walk around pretty much as normal . I couldn't do that a month ago.

I have 2 sizes. The child sizes works the best and the Foley is an antique I pick up for a dollar. I didn't know it was an antique until after it became a foot massager. I promise not to use it for Holiday Baking!

So those are my WFMW!

Have you ever come home to the Police?


blessings,

I'm so thankful that Urban girl handled that so well and everyone was safe. Tell her I'm proud of her. I can only imagine how you were feeling when you drove up upon that scene.

Nestor's Party- My Craft Room!

Well I wanted to get these up because Nestor is having a 10 minute to a beautiful room party . This has definitely taken more than 10 minutes. But in my brain it was only suppose to take a day! It's far from finished, but that's what a craft room is for. Right? Here's a couple of before pics during the Children's Christmas play. Basically every surface was covered and I had to move stuff just to work. Five of us craft, sew, scrapbook etc in this room. So space and good storage is an issue. The room is apx.10x11. I really want my daughter's to grow up being Keeper's of their Homes. Home Decorating and Crafting Frugally is a must! You can have a beautiful home on a very tight budget. I also want them to be creative and have a place to show and explore their abilities. ( alrighty let me jump down from my horse; ) Here's some after photos. The paint was from the $5 bin and too yellow. So I added alot of white that we had from another project! Th...

Zeee Transformation!

It's Frugal Friday again! I really enjoy everyone's offerings. Please share your comments and head over to Biblicalwomanhood.com for more great tips. I have it listed in Friends and Interest for your convienece. Have a great weekend and enjoy! I've been anxious to get these up here! This was one of Superman's and my summer projects. We finished just in time for our littlest chickadee's birthday and for use while I'm schooling the rest of the brood. Here's what I found at a local thrift store.... The stove had a sad laminate door on it that someone else had used to repair it. I sanded down both the fridge and stove. I also traced the stove top. Then Superman took over. He did more sanding, replaced the door with scrap wood and cut out a window. So that she can see what's baking. After that it was time to paint! I really wanted red because (for now) it's in my kitchen and it looks great with the other colors in there. Quite Spicy! And I found it in th...

Nitrate Free Pepperoni

I'm not sure if I should show you the picture or not. I tweaked a recipe from Tammy's Recipes and it is quite tasty. BUT (and it's kind of a big BUT) the color is just not right. So the pepperoni looks a little grey (gross) but again taste SUPER! So here goes nothing.... nitrate free pepperoni See how gray it looks? That's because I used Real Salt (sea salt) instead of curring salts which have all the nitrates and fake pink color (they do this so people won't mistake it for table salt). That pink dye also gives sausages of all types that nice color we are all so used too. All the flavor was still in there and I figured if I'm making this homemade I want it to be as healthy as possible for my family. So why would I add the nitrates? Because I didn't use the pink salt I can't just leave this out in my pantry like you could with some of the store bought stuff. If you do to try this recipe and decide to go "all natural" please make sure that you ...
