7 Quick Takes: November 4, 2011 (Vol. 102)

~ 1 ~ This weekend, I’ll be headed to my first craft show as a vendor in about two years.  I’m really excited, as I always enjoy getting a chance to talk to people and check out what other people are working on as well. Now, mind you, but “really excited,” this does not mean [...]

What Does God Want You To Be?

The other night, we were talking with some friends and one of our priests.  I had shared that we have told the kids before that we don’t always want to correct them when they’re doing things that we feel are wrong, but that God gave us the job of raising them to be the kind [...]

7 Quick Takes: September 9, 2011 (Vol. 96)

~ 1 ~ Eric and I have decided that we should just have a personal chef come in and make us dinner everyday.  They would also have to plan the meals and shop for them too, of course.  We continued on with this line of talk for a while. Finally, Molly said, “Back up!  Back [...]

Finding Time for Creative Endeavors

*Do you have a post about scheduling?  Make sure to share a link to it in the link up below!* I’m sure that your schedule is a lot like my schedule — there never seems to be quite enough time. When I’m pressed for time, as I often am, one of the first things to [...]

Jack Gives Mad Props to C.S. Lewis

I mentioned briefly that we’ve been listening to The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis.  This has been a really wonderful experience for us (for a couple different reasons), as I’ll share more about later. But, one of the things that cracked me up about the whole thing happened when we were in the van the [...]

7 Quick Takes: June 24, 2011 (Vol. 85)

~ 1 ~ Molly got a new Littlest Pet Shop Blythe doll this week.  She loved this one and declared that she looked very “country.”  But, then the poor doll had a problem, we later learned.  How did we find this out, you might ask? Molly began performing a song (she loves making up songs) [...]

Finding Joy :: Week 1

Last week, at long last, I introduced Finding Joy (check it out to read more about my motivation and what it’s all about).  The Twitter-ized version is that I am going to try to work on various areas of my life that I think will bring more joy into my life and help me to [...]

Our Food Pantry Donation

  During Lent, as you may remember, we limited the types of things that we could buy from the grocery store.  We didn’t actually end up saving much money (at all), but we ate a lot healthier (given what we were allowed to buy).  Still, I wanted to report back that we did hold up [...]
