7 Quick Takes: April 30, 2010 (Vol. 39)

~ 1 ~ I continue to feel like I am falling behind in just about everything.  I anxiously await some summer vacation to get caught back up, and hopefully to come up with a better plan for next year. In the midst of being behind and thinking that I could work on some of those [...]

That Bird Tweeted at Jack

While shopping at Menard’s, my boys suddenly had a “shock and awe” look about them.  They’re good boys (generally), so I didn’t think they were doing anything bad, but I finally had to ask what in the world was going on. “Jack freed a bird,” Noah proclaimed with wide eyes. My kids are not big [...]

Walking for a Cure

After over 1,000 posts on Many Little Blessings, it was apparently time for the very first guest post here.  I’m so happy to share this guest post today, and hope you might consider supporting my sister in her walk. ————————————————— First let me say how honored I am that Angie asked me to be a [...]

Buying Garden Plants Before Planting Season

I have been gardening for a few years now.  Each year, as our official planting day gets very near (or sometimes right on the official planting day), we head out to the locally owned greenhouse, as well as some of the larger chains, and we pick out our plants for that year’s garden. This usually [...]

7 Quick Takes: April 23, 2010 (Vol. 38)

~ 1 ~ Do you know which company is just about the coolest ever? It’s Catholic Child Catalog. I’ll post more another time about it, but it’s safe to say that I love them. ~ 2 ~ We finished our last day of our homeschool co-op this week.  Although I look forward to a summer [...]

It Pays to Listen to Your Children

It’s funny that as an adult, my natural inclination (and I suspect the natural inclination of a lot of us parents) is to assume that we know better than our kids do. How many times have you said to do (or not to do) something, and when your kids ask why, you tell them that [...]

There’s Nothing New Under the Sun

I guess that’s a cliche for a reason, and I was thinking about it this morning in relation to blogging. Very, very recently, I stumbled upon the fact that I had just published something that gave the same information as someone else did about a week prior to me publishing my post (I had written [...]

How to Move Google Friend Connect from Blogger to WordPress

This post has been removed by me because it was apparently of a similar nature to something that someone else posted.  If you need help with the directions though, drop me a note, and I’m happy to help.

Wow! That’s a Coincidence!

The other day, we were reading a book about saints during school time. ( Holy Friends: Thirty Saints and Blesseds of the Americas – This has been a perfect companion book to studying about early American history this year.) Just a little while after we were finished with school, Jack said, “You know, Mom, I’ve [...]

7 Quick Takes: April 16, 2010 (Vol. 37)

~ 1 ~ I have been working on an e-book.  I have this feeling that it will never be finished.  I thought I would be able to just whip right through it.  I have now realized that I’m clearly insane.  I think that if I can sit down and write a couple of sections each [...]
