We took a family walk down to Walgreens last night, and about halfway there, I happened to look down and noticed that my husband was wearing his slippers. We proceeded to give each other a hard time, neither one understanding the other’s point of view. MINE: It’s embarrassing. I don’t really concern myself with what […]

My Daily Bread spoke to me today. Our Daily Bread is a little book that contains small daily devotions. I keep mine in my bathroom; that way I can flip through it while I’m bathing a kid, or, er, whatnot. Lately I’ve been struggling with being overwhelmed by back-logged home repair and organizational projects that
But some of us don’t have a choice where, or even if, we get to play all day. And it’s tax day, and shame on you if you haven’t done yours yet! I don’t know about you, but where we live, it’s oh-so-nice out – I’m talking 80° weather! But you might be stuck inside

After our fun Friday game night and awesome anniversary celebration on Saturday, Sunday after church we decided to take the kids to Chuck E. Cheese. We decided to bring along Sammie’s little 5-year-old friend (the one who is moving to Mexico – the new one, or New Mexico if you don’t speak 5-year-old), and that

This past Saturday, April 10, 2010, marked 11 years of marriage for my husband and I. Since it was a weekend, and we treasure that as family time, we didn’t think about calling the babysitter to get some alone time. A generous friend stepped up and offered to watch the little ones for a few
I recently came across this neat story in an article about volunteerism: There is a story about a man walking along a beach. He notices that the starfish have washed ashore and will soon die in the baking sun. Then the man sees a young child picking up the starfish, one at a time, and

I HATE shopping for shoes. For as long as I can remember, I’ve gotten a pair of shoes and replaced them with the same type of pair when they wore out or when I needed to change sizes – no need to see what went well with my outfits or anything like that for me.
Last night, I had the worst dream I’ve ever had in my life. I didn’t realize it was a dream while I was having it, but I remember waking myself up on purpose anyway – it’s difficult to explain, as many aspects of vivid dreams usually are. The gist of it was – a member

I came across a couple of instances of good citizenship lately, so I thought I’d share. I would write a letter to the local newspaper, but I don’t think they’d print it – they didn’t print the last one I wrote them about the wonderful person who found my lost wallet and turned it in

There is a kink I did not foresee in my housebreaking-the-new-puppy plan – snow. We are currently getting nailed by a snowstorm – about 4 inches on the ground and much more expected. The snow engulfs our poor little shivering puppy, and I’ve had to shovel first every time before I take him out. It’s
