I Can Only Imagine

Sarah inspired me to post a worship song today.  I love this song by Mercy Me.  He is imagining what it will be like the day Jesus returns and we are together at long last.  It’s mind-boggling at the very least, is it not?  But how fun to imagine. I Can Only Imagine – Mercy [...]

The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake EVER

Last week I accidentally hit the “Stumble” button on my Stumbleupon toolbar. Before I had time to hit the back button, this page came up on my computer screen.  Now, I have heard of Pioneer Woman.  (Who hasn’t?)  And I’ve heard that she has THE BEST recipes.  So when I saw the title of the [...]

I’m a Katharine

I’m a sucker for these silly quizzes. And this one pretty much hit the nail on the head, with only two questions.  I thought it was good Saturday posting material. Are You a Jackie or a Marilyn? Or Someone Else? You Are a Katharine! You are a Katharine — “I am happy and open to [...]

There’s A New Carnival In Town!

If you aren’t already inundated with weekly carnivals, I hope you will consider playing along THIS TUESDAY, January 27th, when I host my first ever What I Learned This Week carnival! Here’s the deal.  My goal is for this to be fun and easy.  Just write a post about what you’ve been learning over the [...]

It’s A Balancing Act

It’s generally assumed that moms give, give, give until we lose our sense of self.  Everywhere you look you see moms advised to take time out for ourselves and encouraged to maintain a balance between our families’ needs and our own.  I wouldn’t be entirely genuine if I didn’t confess that making time for myself [...]

Ranting and Raving

I’ve mentioned my car problems before.  Last fall, when I stalled coming out onto a busy street and almost got killed, we finally decided we could avoid it no more and shelled out the $500 to have the starter problem fixed.  [...]

Tagged! Show Us Your Handbag(s)

Teresa over at Elebelly wants me to show my handbag.  Well you KNOW I need no more prompting than that.  I can always talk handbags. Here are the rules, as instituted by this meme-originator and my friend Beth at Total Mom Haircut. 1) Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. [...]

Reader Survey

*UPDATED* I’ve added a formal poll at the end.  Even if you’ve already read or commented, please cast your vote!  It will only take a sec. I’ve seen Steph at Metropolitan Mama poll her readers from time to time, and I always think it’s interesting to read the responses she gets.  I’ve also seen her [...]

Being the Fun Parent is Overrated

On Sunday I mentioned that, among other things I learned while my husband was gone, I am not a fun parent.  So I was all over it when I got a Tweet from Kim yesterday morning saying, “Hey — Shan and I are taking the kids bowling this afternoon. Want to join us? You can [...]
