Tonight was our church’s ladies’ ministry meeting.  We only meet a few times per year, but I always love going because of the good fellowship with the older ladies there.
Our church is pretty small, averaging about 40 people in attendence on Sunday mornings.  I began attending shortly after the church was founded in 1987, so [...]

Ok.  There seems to be a rash of “realness” coming out in many mommy bloggers.  You see, there are a few (and one especially well known) home making blogs where the authors present themselves to be the perfect wife, mom, teacher, homemaker, etc.  In a turning of the tide movement, mommies every where seem to [...]

Ahhh…Nicknames.  Those loveable monikers our family and friends give us are (usually!) a warm fuzzy feeling of belonging.  They signify acceptance, being “in” with someone, friendship, and unity.  Even if one claims to hate a particular family given nickname, you must admit that it’s usually feels better to have one than to not have one.   It [...]

It’s 3 am right now.  This whole weekend has been a bit off kilter for us.  For one, I have been dreadfully tired since Friday, due in part, I believe, to the toll breastfeeding is taking on my body now that Jack-Evan is almost 5 months old.  Nothing I do seems to revive my energy, [...]

With all of the media coverage of the Republican and Democratic conventions the past few weeks, I’ve felt highly patriotic.
Ok, well, we aren’t exactly Romans though.
But..I have had Romans on my mind. And Greeks for that matter - ancient greeks. In the course of my homeschool method studies earlier this year, I realized that I [...]

…Because if you do, you’ll be suckered in to poking fun at yourself in the most inhuman way.
Why oh why do we find humor in the subtlest things?  What possesses us to throw down our household duties and take up the most mindless activities online?
Right now I’m going to blame it on a bad back.  [...]

I was over at one of my favorite message boards - www.SavingAdvice.com - when I noticed a discussion going on about saving money on dog food.  The first post was basically a brief mention about how we shouldn’t buy cheap dog food because if we really knew what was put into it, we’d feel really [...]
