Whew. The girls are done making and selling pumpkin rolls to raise Christmas money. The company year-end party is past. Another turkey dinner has come and gone. 6 trash bags full of wrapping paper have come and gone, and most of the gifts are put away. A 7 foot tall evergreen has come and gone. [...]

This is the perfect time to say this…..
Merry Christmas
and a
Happy New year!!
Christmas is not about presents. It’s celebrating Jesus being born. It’s celebrating the gift GOD has given to us. Matthew 2…
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to [...]

My girls planned a little plot that made me glow, and I have to tell y’all about it.
This year they had far more money than usual for Christmas shopping so their gifts to each other were not the usual Dollar Tree (where everything’s a dollar!) variety. About 2 weeks before Christmas, 3 of the older [...]

Thank you for the laughs, both in the comments on this post and in my inbox! I wish we could give a prize to everyone who entered. Making the choice non-random made it so much harder.
But we have to choose somebody, and so we’re going with Mongolia Melanie. She’s going to need all the help [...]

Though I’ve meant to do this for quite a while, Cindy beat me to it. Now I’m doing it.
The following is small selection of quotes that are frequently heard around our house. Most are from movies; often from movies that left our collection long ago but their influence lives on in [...]

Are you a Vision Forum affiliate yet? Too bad. They are letting each affiliate give away their choice of 2 great products, and there are more special affiliate promotions coming in the future. Is that a great idea or what? Really, do you like it? Can you see me blushing [...]

We faced two great mysteries this weekend. Hubby came up with a solution for one, and I devloped a plausible explanation for the other. Could you have solved them?
Mystery #1
I needed to call my uncle Dave, who lives just a little bit down the road. He has a cell phone and I [...]

Maybe you’ve assumed from my silence since Monday that I threw up so much I slipped into a coma this week.
Not so. I’ve been living! On Monday and Tuesday, I hesitantly thought I might be feeling better. I still fasted and threw up 5-10 times in the mornings but only vomited once or twice later [...]

My agreement with my stomach has provided plenty of time for introspection. I am basically fasting each morning and into the afternoon, and the way I see it, I am doing it for the Lord. I am also throwing up for Him each afternoon and evening [smile]. Our children are blessings directly from God’s hand, [...]

I know it’s not Mother’s day but
I just couldn’t help making up
a poem about Mom. Here it is:
Mother Dear Mother Dear
My complaints you always
hear .
When I’m scared you’re always there.
When you’re close I never fear.
And no one but you can do that,
O Mother Dear, and for that I thank you.

update: the girls would like you to know that they have 4 more Like-New dolls available for sale. One is a Fidelia, and the other 3 are Evangeline. Take a look under the Buy Our Stuff tab.
If your girls enjoy the Elsie audio books (I won’t even suggest that they might appeal to boys) [...]

I’m hoping you already knew this, but we run a little business on the side. We sell original, authentic 400 year old pages from old Geneva Bibles (if you’re horrified, read this). We offer them framed, matted, or sleeved. Damaged pages are available as inexpensive bookmarks. Incidentally, we provide the framed Bible pages that are [...]

If you’ve been living with your head in the toilet like me, you might not be aware that voting has started on the 2007 Homeschool Blog Awards!
Although we’ve been nominated in two categories (thanks, y’all!) I can hardly bring myself to troll for votes since each category also contains some of my very favorite blogs.
In [...]

If you use Bloglines or another feedreader or if you get our updates by email, and you just received [...]

Yesterday I went to my first prenatal checkup. I was 15 minutes late, mainly because I couldn’t get into the car until I stopped throwing up.
She gave me good news and bad news. Based upon several clues, she agreed that I was probably 2-3 weeks behind what the calendar said. I already strongly [...]
