Do you ever feel like this? On our hard and crazee nights, I feel like I belong in the funny farm. Thank God, He is always there with me. Don't lose hope on those crazee days. Remember we have His strength to pull from. We are not alone, ever!! God bless from the Crazee Farm Girl!!

 Merry Christmas y'all!! Well I know it has been some time, I have been fighting Lupus and it has not been a fun fight. For the last 3 months I have had bells palsy. For those of you that do not know what that is, it means I have partial paralysis of my face. Can we say, not much fun. Well, anyway lets get on with it.
 The Seely's are starting out the new year with a new adventure. We are moving back to Oregon. Our stay in Oklahoma has been great and meeting all of D's family  has been amazing. Our journey has taken yet another course. We are currently going through some hard times with the boys and with my illness, my family has offered to help. Cannot wait to get home and see my family, it has been almost 4 years. I am so excited to start this new adventure and so excited to start our simple life and homestead in Oregon.
 I will keep you up on our adventure, I pray you  all have a very Merry Christmas!!

Putting down the devices!!!

Time to put into action our priorities. What is so important that we neglect to take time for what really matters. God and family. We are so busy trying to keep up with "The Jones'" that we have let the real things that matter fall to the wayside. Then we sit, scratch our head, and say "what are we doing wrong". Believe me I am the biggest culprit. Well, you know, Facebook is soooo much more important than what happened at school. NOT!!! However, that's probably what my kids think as I sit and say, hold on, I am busy. REALLY!! Doing what, looking at how this friend is mad at this person or how so and so are seeing each other. We have fallen into such a trap and we do not even realize it. We think, that's how we keep in touch, that's how we advertise (me), that is the only way I know what is going on with everyone. Forgetting that 20 years ago, we got along just fine without all of this.

What are we showing our kids? We don't even talk to people, we just shoot'em a text. Heck, we don't even talk to each other at home. One is on the computer, Kindle, x-box, phone, what ever it may be. Well, for me and my home it stops here. I do not want my kids to not talk to me, because they do not know how to communicate without a device. How about you, are you willing to take a stand for your family and give it a break. I challenge you today, pick a time frame and say between this time and this time, there is no devices. We sit and talk about our days. Catch up on what is going on. See what happens!!! Well, that's it on my little rant. LOL!!! Hope ya'll have a blessed day and I look forward to hearing what happens when you put your devices down and communicate as a family. God Bless~Jen

Who doesn't like a warm soup and homemade rolls on a cold winter day. It has been cold here in Oklahoma today, so I thought how about try a new soup for the family. If you make this let me know what you think. Happy Eatings!
