7 Quick Takes: November 5, 2010 (Vol. 59)

~ 1 ~ In the continuing saga of my Jesse Tree ornaments (for the ornament swap that I’m in), I’m done with the ornaments now, but still need to write the verse name/number on the back, as well as make holes and attach something to hang them by.  It’s the story of my life to [...]

7 Quick Takes: October 1, 2010 (Vol. 55)

~ 1 ~ Apparently this is the year of the U-Pick Farms in our house.  We had never taken the kids to any U-Pick farms prior to this year.  However, in the early summer, we went to the strawberry patch (where they kids were less than helpful).  Then, this week, we went an apple orchard [...]

7 Quick Takes: September 24, 2010 (Vol. 54)

~ 1 ~ Molly’s sixth birthday is coming up, and God bless that girl, even when offered a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party (just to be fair, since the boys had a shared one), she requested to have a party at home. So – anyone have any fabulous party ideas for girls who are five [...]

10 Ways to Combat Dry Skin

Last summer, I visited the dermatologist about a facial rash that I couldn’t get rid of, which I was afraid was rosacea.  The dermatologist said that while it didn’t look like rosacea, it did look like dry skin and gave me some tips on how to try to help the skin.  (He also decided to [...]

7 Quick Takes: September 3, 2010 (Vol. 51)

~ 1 ~ With any luck, I think I’m going to try to drink my last soda tomorrow. (You know, barring being somewhere where that is absolutely all that is available to drink.)  Who knows if it will actually work out, as I have been drinking way too much soda for way too many years.  [...]

Ten Things I Want to Do This Summer

I am excited to participate in Oh Amanda’s Top Ten Tuesday again this week.  Apparently once I talked about what I needed to talk about, I just can’t stop talking now. We finished out last day of school on Friday, and I’m looking toward what I plan to get done this summer. 1. Come up [...]

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 [...]

7 Quick Takes: March 19, 2010 (Vol. 34)

~ 1 ~ I decided on Sunday that I was going to go to reconciliation (confession) on Wednesday evening.  I then spent a ton of time during those days dreading going to confession.  I dreaded it more than I have since the first time I went (on Palm Sunday in 2007). When I went though, [...]

Mixing Flours as a Healthier Choice

  I promise to post later this week about my Blissdom Conference experiences, but for right now, I wanted to share a quick kitchen tip that has definitely been working for us. I had been wanting to switch to whole wheat flour, instead of the unbleached white that I usually use.  But, I was afraid [...]

7 Quick Takes: January 23, 2010 (Vol. 27)

~ 1 ~ It is, of course, after Friday, which is when Jen from Conversion Diary posts 7 Quick Takes.  I, however, was sad that I hadn’t posted a weekly wrap up in a few weeks.  So, I’m just doing it late. ~ 2 ~ Last night was the last Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.  [...]
