See What I’ve Been Up To!

I know my posts are scarce lately.  I’m so busy designing, I hardly have time to breathe.  Go take a look at everything I’ve been working on! And if you want a holiday look, I’m offering a discount on holiday designs.  Go check it out!

Release or Endurance

I asked a question from our sermon on Sunday — When times are tough, do you pray for release or endurance?  I guess I pray for both.  It’s certainly not wrong to pray for release, but God does not promise release from all circumstances.  He does, however, promise to give us endurance to bear the [...]

Traveling With Kids

We’re off to South Carolina on Wednesday.  My kids are beyond excited.  We’re flying out at 0-dark-hundred, and we will have to take two flights to get there.  I’ve traveled with kids before, but it’s been a couple of years.  Any suggestions for ways to occupy them during the flight?  My 8-year-old son is easy.  [...]

When In Doubt, Inquire About the Dress Code

I’ve always said that spring is the one season I miss most about living north of the Mason Dixon Line.  I grew up in southern Virginia where spring came early and was the most glorious season.  Here in Philly, spring is almost nonexistent.  The winter gloom seems to linger FOR-EV-ER.  We might have a few [...]

Food For Thought has Zero Calories

From this morning’s sermon… When the going gets rough, do you pray for release or endurance?

Links and Shout Outs

High Fructose Corn Syrup: The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing – Five Minutes for Going Green.  If you read this article, be sure to read the accompanying comments.  I’m intrigued because I’ve been working hard at ridding our house of HFCS for the past year.  The links to obesity and heart disease are disturbing.  I’ve always [...]

[...]

Eat At Your Own Risk

You never know what you might find in your food at my house.  Usually it’s a harmless hair.  But yesterday I got the following email from my husband: There is a tooth in the baggy with my sandwich!!!!!!!! You see, the day before, my son lost a tooth one afternoon and promptly placed it in [...]

Because What Our Kids Really Need is More Self-Esteem

This post by Big Mama yesterday reminded me of a funny story I’ve been meaning to tell on my own Caroline.  She hates it when I talk about her, incidentally.  The second she overhears her name come up in onversation, this horrid scowl takes over her face and daggers shoot out of her eyes.  It’s [...]

Fashion Question

Next week we’re going to South Carolina for my brother’s wedding.  Of course that means we have a series of events for which I have to plan outfits.  And not just outfits for me, but also for the three kids.  AND did I mention that we’re flying, which means spending extra money to check bags [...]
