And Even More Parenting Wisdom
When I posted my last link to Patrick Mead, I didn’t realize that article was actually Part 2 in a series. Part 1 is even better!!!! I am always reading parenting advice that falls into the two categories he describes: Open pot with no lid or pressure cooker with no valve. […]
Communion
I don’t do a lot of post about religion or theology — frankly, I don’t seem to have the time to flesh out the thoughts that race through my head and stream-of-consciousness rambling about God tends to get me into trouble, lol! But I was going through my RSS list today and Real Live […]
Decisions, Decisions
What is it about blogging that makes it easier to have discussions about things that you wouldn’t talk to most of your relatives or close friends about? Actually, I have talked to my closest IRL friend, but I have this need to “talk” with you all about it too.
After the roller coaster we’ve been […]I Knew Him When . . .
Many moons ago in a land far, far away, there was a girl who grew up knowing she was different than the farm kids around her. She didn’t fit into any of the pigeonholes she tried in school. Even though there was no drama program, she was a drama queen. She was […]
Parenting Wisdom, Continued
Patrick Mead preaches at a church about an hour and a half away from us. If we lived closer (and Hubby wasn’t on staff at our church, lol), we’d definitely be there every Sunday! I have his blog on RSS feed, and would recommend to everyone I know to subscribe as well. […]
Password Post Update
Support for the password feature isn’t getting back to Andrea — it’s not her fault! Since it’s still not working, I’m going to e-mail everyone who commented and wanted to see it. Once it’s working, though, I think I’ll try another password post — that was my most commented post in quite a […]
Parenting Wisdom
I’ve been in several parenting discussions, one in particular here, where behavior-oriented punitive parenting has been discussed and rehashed. As I’ve travelled the blogosphere, I’ve found many wise things to ponder. Molly Holly at Choosing Home Blog tells us some of the things she’s learned through parenting six children. Here’s a little excerpt:
There […]Blog Identity Crisis
Sorry about the constantly changing themes! I haven’t found one yet that suits me just so. The way this site is set up, you can’t use a completely original template because of the group use of WP. I don’t mind, I’m using WP for free, blogging for free, and have good friends […]
Oops, I almost forgot!
I joined a new blogring and promised to give them a shout-out! Blogging chicks has really, really strict membership guidelines. Ridiculous, really. Here goes:
1. You must blog
2. You must be a chick
If you think you can handle it, click on over to My Life Under the Sun and join up. We […]Easter Images
I haven’t uploaded pictures to this blog yet (any old ones are from Blogger), so here goes!
Anyone know how I can get these a little bigger?
Oops, now they’re huge. I guess I have some work to do!
OK, I think I’ve got it! I think they’re linked now, if you want to see […]In Case You Were Wondering . . .
Abschicken means send in German.
Still don’t have the password post fixed yet. Andrea and Ron (and their whole family) have been sick all week. I’d still take their spotty service (which is still incredible) over Blogger’s best service any day!!!Happy Easter!
I heard today on the radio that Willow Creek is estimating 35,000 people at their Easter services this weekend! Whatever you think of the emergent church, seeker-oriented services, or mega churches, you have to admit that 35,000 people hearing the message of Christ’s resurrection is a Very Good Thing. Sure, this message will […]
Unschooling - What is It?
Besides the awesome Carnival of Unschooling, there are so many resources out there for ideas and encouragement. I think I actually found Life Without School through a Carnival post, and have them on my must-read list now. Today Tammy talks about how no matter what you call it or how you define it, […]
Password Post Being Weird
When you put in the password, it takes you to the Homeschool Journal main blog page. I’ll check into it. Sorry about the suspense, lol! Andrea, I e-mailed you the password, maybe you can check into it if you’re feeling a little better (or if your curiosity can’t stand it!)
