First, let me say thank you to anyone who is still following my BLOG. I have been "Frazzled" for over a year now. So much has happened this past year. I won't go into the details but just know that through it all, God carried me through. I'm still in a "desert" but I know God is leading me through to the green pastures. I trust Him with my life and the lives of my family members. "If God is for

My last post was about my daughter and her two small children living here. She's been gone two days now (she's staying with a woman who use to be her neighbor and has threatened on numerous occasions to call Social Services on my daughter). She briefly contacted her dad (my husband) yesterday to say she wouldn't be home again last night. He's a truck driver and wasn't home. She texted him. Anyway

I had a tough day today. Life in general has been tough lately. In September, (I know that was only two months ago) one of my grown daughters moved back in with us bringing her two small children (ages 2 years and now 5 months). I love them. Everyday, she tells me how much her life "sucks". Her high school sweetheart (and first love) decided he didn't want to be a husband or father anymore. He

I've been gone for a while due to family issues. I am glad to be back. Look for new posts from me about my family and things we do!

I am still recovering from this past weekend. I have three grown daughters and they are all very stressed out right now so I came up with an insane idea; I should take the three of them away for a weekend where they can just relax and forget about their problems and reduce their stress. One weekend of total pampering (on a small budget). I filled gift bags, one for each daughter, with pampering

Did you know that 99% of all families have at least one TV in their home? Forty-five percent of these families have three or more TVs. At first this blew my mind, then I counted the TVs in my house and was floored! We have three that are currently in use and three more that will be in use this time next year (we are doing some renovating and still moving in so three of the rooms with TVs are not

I know Easter is done and the baskets are put away, but this is a fun project that you can do to add some "fancy" decor to your home anytime of the year. WHAT YOU'LL NEED: 1 Tablespoon of Food Coloring; 1 Tablespoon of Vinegar; 1 Tablespoon of Cooking Oil; Blown Eggs; Craft Glue That Dries Clear (I like Aileen's Tacky Glue); Clear Glitter Paint. Marbleized eggs don't have to be just for Easter.

Need something to make bath time more fun? Is it a fight to get the kid's in the tub for their baths? Well FRAZZLEDNANNY has an answer: Why not have fun, clean your tub and clean your child at the same time. You can now with this Bathtub Finger Paint. You will need: 1/3 cup of clear, mild liquid dish detergent (I like Dawn); 1 tablespoon of cornstarch; food coloring. Directions: Combine the

It's Monday, what are your going to do to make a difference in your week? Everyone has the power of greatness. Not for fame, but greatness. Because greatness is determined by service. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Have you ever made a list of what matters most to you? If you haven't, now is a great time to do so. If you read my BLOG over the weekend, you know I just turned 40 on Sunday. I decided

That's right, FRAZZLEDNANNY will be 40 years old on Sunday, April 5th. It feels strange to be turning 40. I thought I'd be emotional, but I'm not. I thought I'd be sad, but I'm not. In November 08, God revealed to me that I had been holding onto all of this pain and anger from some past hurts regarding our church. It would take too much time to go into all of the details so I'll just say that I

Summer is just around the corner. Before we know what has happened our children are grown and spending less time with us and more time working or being away from us. So take time now to celebrate your teens and preteens. Showcase their special talents with a "Talent Show". Invite your neighborhood kid's over to display their talent and have your kid's showcase their talent. Maybe they play an

Happy April Fools Day! I never really saw the big deal about April Fool's Day. Maybe because it falls so close to my birthday (my birthday being April 5th). Maybe because I'm not much on getting people with practical jokes. Now I have a husband, a daughter (our third one who is a college commuter) and a son-in-law who are all consumed with "getting" each other in a practical joke. I just don't

Springtime is the best time to have a Scavenger Hunt or Wild Goose Chase. Now you may be asking yourself "What's the difference between a Scavenger Hunt and a Wild Goose Chase?" They both take some planning and they both are so much fun. You need chaperons for both. They can be done in one place but it is more fun if you have to travel. The difference is a Wild Goose Chase takes you all over the

This has been a weekend that kept going and going. My daughter had her placement test on Friday (to see if she is ready for the third grade). Then we went shopping at Walmart for her birthday "goody bags" for her friends and decorations for her party. This is not easy when shopping with a seven (almost eight) year old who wants to give each friend a new bike and a large paper bag full of goodies

Another craft from FRAZZLED that is so quick and easy your children could make them and sell them to make some money. It's inexpensive enough that the original start-up cost is affordable. WHAT YOU WILL NEED: 1. A medium sized balloon 2. A half cup of sand or salt 3. A funnel DIRECTIONS: 1. Place the balloon over the small end of a funnel. 2. Pour a half of a cup of sand or salt into the funnel

FRAZZLED NANNY here with a new craft. Two of my daughters have made Tornadoes in a bottle and they loved them. I hope your children will enjoy them as well. WHAT YOU WILL NEED: 1. A clear, empty soda bottle with the lid (cap). Any size will work but these directions are for a 16 oz bottle so you may find some minor adjustments are needed for larger bottles. 2. 2 drops of clear dish liquid

Well, I made it to day two and I'm posting my second blog. I thought I should tell you more about myself. What better way for you to get to know me? You might even find out why I consider myself FRAZZLED... First, you should know that I have been married for 20 years (June 09). My husband is a wonderful man who has always been there for us. We were blessed with one biological daughter and triple
