Not Too Late — Review
Norah Jones’ cd Not Too Late was provided to me by Special Ops Media for the purpose of review.
I have to say right up front that I have loved Norah Jones’ music since the first time I heard her — I think it might have been on an awards show, the Grammies probably — and […]Menu Plan Monday
So, what’s for dinner? I am so NOT a hyper-organized person, but I do get inspiration every now and then from those who are. I’m an Organizing Junkie usually makes me feel inadequate and a huge slob, but then again — in this area I am! I get great ideas over there, […]
Movie Review
(Click image for a preview of the movie)
The girls have been waiting with held breath for our review copy of Cinderella III, A Twist in Time from Special Ops Media. Me, not so much. I’m not a huge animated Disney fan — what IS the dude’s problem with nuclear, two-parent families? […]It’s a
blockblog party!5 Minutes for Mom is hosting The Ultimate Blog Party! It sounds like a lot of fun, a lot like a block party where you roam around the block chit-chatting with neighbors you haven’t really gotten to know and finding a new best friend in the process. I’ve never visited 5MfM before, but […]
Another Apron Contest
Since I didn’t win the last one, I thought I’d try it again. You see, Smockity Frocks, the winner of Barbara’s contest didn’t wait for the giveaway — she decided to make some. So, she’s giving away her prize. If you would like to try too, head on over! If you just want to buy […]Servant Heart
We recently went to a marriage seminar that really hit home with me. They made a particular point over and over — that until we can truly have a servant’s heart toward our spouse, it is hard to make a marriage work. So, on that note, a recent scene from my family room.
Set notes:
Both […]He’s Here!
My sister’s baby wasn’t due for 5 more weeks or so, but he decided he couldn’t wait! Actually, the doctors decided. S was having some bleeding and they thought she might be losing amniotic fluid. Then yesterday they decided maybe the placenta was attached too low, so they decided to do a c-section. […]
I think I’ll get calling cards printed . . .

Apron Power voting began on Friday, and somehow I missed it!!! Anyway, go on over and vote (I’m #5 - hint, hint)!
Spirit and Truth
I grew up in a very conservative church tradition. So conservative, we call ourselves a tradition rather than denomination — denominations are evil, God only created one true Church and it was ours. Our leadership (local, of course, the New Testament says nothing about a hierarchy of leadership) and the leadership of most […]
Not your grandmother’s apron - or is it?
Barbara Curtis of Mommy Life is having an apron picture contest. There are still a few days to enter, so find a picture of you with your apron on and head on over. I’ve never thought about my apron much, but as a former staunch feminist, Barbara has a lot […]
Reason #(what number are we on now?) to homeschool . . .
I was just watching WDIV news here in Detroit, covering the viewing of President Gerald Ford here in Michigan. People came expecting to wait 3-4 hours in line, but some ended up having to wait up to 8 hours! They interviewed a guy, who was asked “Did you wait that long?” He answered “No. The […]
This time, last year
I thought it would be fun to post some pictures of Christmas Eve last year. You see, last December after working a couple of months on the basement — tearing out moldy drywall, painting with sealing paint, installing styrofoam insulation, and putting in drywall around the fireplace, Squid decided that since it was non-functional, […]
