I did it. I’ve finished reading the first book in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. And I really enjoyed it; I think I can officially call myself a Harry Potter fan! The book was very fast-moving, and because it’s kind of a kids’ fantasy book (but don’t get the wrong […]

THANKS – to the one who got us the 300 piece puzzle for Christmas. Granted, 300 pieces are not too many for a puzzle. But normal puzzles usually have the person putting together a broken portrait, like a picture of a landscape or a scene. But the puzzle given to my 10-year-old back in December

I am glad to be home. I’ve got a nice warm cup of coffee next to me as I sit at my computer… but don’t let my facade of relaxation fool you. I’ve already changed 3 dirty diapers and broken up 4 squabbles in the past hour since I’ve been home, with more of both

But about a week ago, I made what was a conscious decision to pull myself up from

I haven’t really felt up to blogging lately (one of those major life change things – NOT one of the good ones and NOT something I’m going to discuss on a blog right now), but I couldn’t let the holidays go by without sending good wishes to everyone (anyone?) who still reads my on-hiatus blog.
Last night’s youth group was… interesting, to say the least. It was the last session before a 2-week holiday break, and the kids were as hyper as they could be! We had decided to throw the kids in my husband’s group and my group a pizza party, but last week, my husband had another teacher’s

Came across this funny rendition of the Queen song Bohemian Rhapsody the other day. I don’t know about you, but the Muppets always make me smile! Lisa
