Christopher sat down at the table with the younger ones (Thomas and Marie) to eat lunch while I continued to homeschool the older kids in the other room. He shouted out, “But Mommy, we didn’t pray for the food!” “Christopher, why don’t you pray for the table, and then you can start eating.” And so … [Read more…]
Why am I still up at 1:00 AM? Simple. This is the first time of the day that I have been ALONE. I needed a “Mommy break,” so I’m up checking out some of my favorite blogs… and my goodness, there’s a lot of good stuff out there! Questions from bad soap operas to cremation, … [Read more…]
It seems like everyone is sick… or caring for someone who is sick… or just in need of some a little uplift, so I offer you these few videos: One of my favorite P&W songs (and seems to come on the radio just when I need it!) is Chris Tomlin’s How Great is Our God. … [Read more…]
And thanks to all for your prayers, and your homemade remedy advice! Unfortunately, he was too far gone to go that route (although we did give it the old “college try”!) Christopher is not a complainer… which is good… but that also means that he usually doesn’t tell us something is wrong until it’s REALLY … [Read more…]
And if you could pray for him (and Grace) I sure would appreciate it. He is not normally a complainer when it comes to illness (you should have seen him sail through chicken pox! Unbelievable!), so when he’s holding his ear, crying his little heart out, and saying, “mommy, why did Adam and Eve have … [Read more…]
She thinks I’m still lying next to her in bed. Poor thing. She’s not feeling well, so it’s been “all about Mommy” for the past several days. She’s being even more clingy than usual, which means blogging time has been… well… non-existent. Bless her heart. It’s hard to be upset about it (well, not when … [Read more…]
The Internet Monk has a wonderful post on Lent. I am especially intrigued by one of the resources he mentioned: The Church Fathers Lenten Reading Plan. I better get my printer ready — that is just way to fantastic to pass up!
Jen over at Et-Tu? tagged me for the book meme. Book Meme Rules:1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).2. Open the book to page 123.3. Find the fifth sentence.4. Post the next three sentences.5. Tag five people. The book closest to me at this moment (of that size) is The Way … [Read more…]
This is Samson.I know, I know, you wouldn’t have been able to tell if I hadn’t told you, but now that I have, you can *kinda* see where he was going with this… the jeans for the long hair… the sweatshirt (with sleeves flapping by his side) for a robe, etc… I gotta hand it … [Read more…]
Since I enjoyed reading Hungry Planet so much, I had to follow it up with Peter Menzel’s earlier book Material World from my library. Another two thumbs up. As is fairly obvious from the title, the author photographed families outside their homes with the entire contents of their households around them. For some, that required … [Read more…]
