Thursday Thirteen – X Words for $800. Alex.

July 22, 2009

I like the letter “X.” Really, I do. But dang this was a tough week. Many of you probably have no idea how we came up with the name Alex for our second son. While I was pregnant, I was sitting at my dining room table with my huge assortment of scrapbook supplies sprawled out in [...]

Out Of My League

July 22, 2009

This week’s You Capture challenge is black & white editing. I was unsure if I would be able to participate this week because, well, I’ve never “edited” a picture beyond red-eye reduction and cropping. But, for the sake of the team, I’ll give it a shot. I pulled a picture from my archives because none [...]

Blessings Every Day

July 22, 2009

A few weeks ago, my boys and I spent two weeks with McDaddy’s sister, Angie and her family in New Hampshire. We had a great time visiting with them. Each night before bed, their little family gathers in the bedroom for a short devotion and prayer time. They use thisbook and each child picks a devotion to [...]

A Little Bit of Randomness

July 21, 2009

What I learned this week…. Hmph…. I should probably call this post rambling all the way to nowhere. Because for one, it is random rambling and for two, well, I’ll be rambling randomly.  1. When left to my own devices with the iPhone, the laptop, the iTunes and my iPod, there is a pretty good chance that [...]

This Too Shall Pass!

July 20, 2009

If  by chance your child ever swallows a coin, there are a few things you should know. Hypothetically speaking, of course. Because it was definitely not my usually level headed four year old child who held his throat with fear in his eyes and admitted he had just swallowed a penny. Because if that had been [...]

A Dramatic Nutcase

July 16, 2009

I have dramatic tendencies.  I’ll give you a second to process that. Because of that I might be just a tad bit overprotective of my children. (ahem!) That whole overprotectiveness thing got much worse after we found out that Alex had food allergies just after his first birthday. While trying to keep our little fella quiet during [...]

Thursday Thirteen – Wild, Wonderful West Virginia

July 15, 2009

I couldn’t resist using Wild, Wonderful, West Virginia in this week’s Thursday Thirteen. It’s W’s turn so I thought I would take this chance to honor of my home state. WV is a wonderful place to live and I’m thankful for our little mountain-top home in the midst of the West Virginia Hills. Where to start? 1. [...]

Not A Creature Was Stirring Except For The Mouse

July 15, 2009

Before we left for our two-week vacation in New Hampshire, I thought it would be a good idea to wash my kitchen cabinets and counter tops off. I was armed with Clorox Kitchen cleaner, a magic eraser, and motivation. The latter always makes a job like that more thrilling. As I was wiping, swiping and [...]
