A Week in My Life Day 4
I couldn't stop thinking about the cradle cap on the 2yo's head last night. It isn't like any cradle cap I've ever seen before. It is making his hair fall out in clumps if I mess with it at all. I must tell you that I have prayed about it. It makes me sick to think of...
A Week in My Life Day 3
It wasn't a health food day for sure; it was much more utilitarian than that. I made a mad dash this morning to Wal-Mart to buy shoes for my oldest. Turns out his shoes will mark the gym floor and I've had a week to buy new and I haven't so there I was at Walmart...
A Week in My Life Day 2
Okay, so it is tough forcing myself to do this tonight at this late hour, but I was majorly distracted by the debate! Today wasn't so much about the kids, but about the dog. My poor little coney dog got spayed. She is really, really miserable with the cone on her...
A Week in My Life
I thought I could do this last week, but the effort it took to keep all the balls in the air left no time to take Ali's challenge as described in Aby Garvey's blog. I was honestly thinking of bagging the whole thing and then I listened to a superb talk...
Is Your Heart at Home?
I have twice had the pleasure of attending a Hearts at Home conference in Bloomington, Illinois. The opportunity to have time away from all the demands of motherhood to laugh and learn with other mothers from around the country was truly a blessing. I have taken home...
TGFI – Thank God for IPhone!
It all started when my then 11yo son asked me why I didn't have an IPod. I told him I would get an IPod when they made it a phone, too. He said, "They have that!" He proceeded to show me the Steve Jobs video unveiling the original IPhone. Anyone who...
Mac Attack
I have to admit to my craving. I wanted a Big Mac and I got one! I have spent so many hours hassling with PCs over the years that when my dh's computer died this week, I plunked down the money for a Big iMac--a 24" one to be exact. Everything is so much more...
A Dog With a Broken Heart
This is Miss Daisy--our delightful 3-month-old Coton de Tulear puppy. The breeder who sold her to us has experienced a lot of heartbreak. Her husband was killed in an accident, forcing her to have her adult dogs fixed as her husband was primarily responsible for...
Trade you a book?
I've told you about www.LibraryThing.com and www.shelfari.com. Now I want to introduce you to my new hobby, www.paperbackswap.com. I order a lot of used books from Amazon. I can get them very inexpensively, but have to pay $3.99 for shipping. Now, all I have to do is...
Hibernating Can Be Productive
Maybe you've wondered if I've been doing a lot of this. Nope! But superheroes DO need rest! Christmas, the flu, birthday parties, church functions, and homeschooling have kept me extra busy as have two very destructive preschoolers! But in my absence from blogging,...
Another Brushworks Class Assignment
Thanks to my friend Barbie for her help with this LO. I've really enjoyed doing this class and I highly recommend it for people who know basic digital scrapbooking using Photoshop Elements.
