I was just telling Chubbug the other night in the car how amazing the bean fields looked last night as the sun was going down. They were a orange/pink color or a "peachy mural color as Chubbug put it" and I've never noticed that before. I guess it's because I've lived in Illinois all my life and beans and corn in the fields is normal for me to see everyday, but the other night the colors caught

Chubbug has been enjoying spending some much needed time outside in the snow. He's been playing in the drifts that we received from the last winter storm and even made a snowman with his dad! Here are a bunch of photos of the play dates outside!!!!

Well last week was a fun week at the Hertz household, Chubbug was off school Tuesday through Friday and I was off work most of Tuesday through Thursday!!! Recently in school, Chubbug did a test to see how many letters in the alphabet he knew and there are a few that he needs to work on. So, I broke out some homeschooling information I've located on a couple of different homeschooling website and

It's been a really long time since I've blogged but thought this would be a great time to start back up! We've been enjoying the 4th of July weekend at Shady Lakes Campground. My sister and I were here about 18 years ago and I am amazed at how this campground has grown. We arrived Friday night at about 6:45 p.m. and set up the campsite. Grandma would be so happy because we put lights on the

I was reading "Jesus Calling" this morning that I received as a gift from Christmas and in today's devotion there were a few statements that really caught my eye and meant something to me, so I thought I would share:"As long as you focus on Me, you are safe. If you gaze to long at the myriad problems around you, you will sink under the weight of your burdens. Simply call out " Help Me Jesus!" and

On Monday, March 16th, Dalton and I stayed home and hung out with Jeff, since he was leaving for Kansas City on Tuesday. We worked outside in the backyard and cleaned up the garage. Dalton took a nap and during that time Jeff finished cleaning the garage. When Dalton woke up and then went outside to the garage he looked at Jeff and said "daddy how did you do that....the garage was a mess...

Dalton had a blast this winter going down Nana and Papa Hertz's hills! One Friday night, Nana picked him up from the sitters unexpectantly, so he had no snow pants or boots because he wore his tennis shoes that day. But that evening after dinner he begged Papa to take him down the sledding hills. So Papa and Nana rolled him up in a blanket, coat and mittens and then loaded the sled with towels

Well I've been meaning to send this blog out to everyone since February, when I first started working on this site, but I hadn't gotten that far as you can see!!! I'm trying to find a way that we can all stay connected and this is probably the easiest way for me to put out pics of the family and so on! So even though the site is still a work in progress, I hope that you will check back often.
