7 Quick Takes: February 3, 2012 (Vol. 111)

~ 1 ~ How has Our Food Revolution project been going now that we’ve gotten into February? Umm…huh. Well, we had a really good week and a half, and then it all went horribly, horribly wrong.  My usual attitude would be to just ditch it, but I’m going to try to get back on track [...]

7 Quick Takes: January 28, 2012 (Vol. 110)

~ 1 ~ I’ve been sick all week, and this has been pretty miserable.  It’s mostly just stuffed up sinuses, along with a headache (because my sinuses are stuffed up) and tiredness (because I’m not sleeping well because, well you know). I have a sneaky suspicion that having the weather go between warmish to really [...]

Middle of the Night Epiphanies

Last night, I felt like I had several epiphanies that kept waking me up… 1. Pinterest is destroying my blog because it’s taking links away from it and putting them in a whole line of waffle irons set up on the counter. 2. I need to sell my house, but I’m afraid that people may [...]

7 Quick Takes: January 21, 2012 (Vol. 109)

~ 1 ~ This week, Molly said, “Let’s push up the ceiling!” I had to ask, “Is that like ‘Let’s raise the roof?’” These kids crack me up! ~ 2 ~ After a lot of thought and trying a couple of languages in our homeschooling, we’ve finally decided to go with the homeschooling cliche and [...]

7 Quick Takes: January 13, 2012 (Vol. 108)

~ 1 ~ News flash: I’m short. I never like to think of myself as short, but it’s becoming more and more obvious to me.  You see, once upon a time, I was tall.  For several years in elementary school, I was the tallest person in my class.  I still kind of think of myself [...]

7 Quick Takes: October 28, 2011 (Vol. 101)

~ 1 ~ I’ve noticed that I have been spending less time on Facebook and Twitter lately.  (Not so much on the Pinterest front though.  Still lovin’ me some Pinterest.)  In fact, my Klout score even kind of tanked.  I was glad that when I saw that, I didn’t even flinch.  I figure that meant [...]

7 Quick Takes: July 29, 2011 (Vol. 90)

~ 1 ~ I looked around, but couldn’t find where I had shared information about our latest trip to the cardiologist with Jack.  So, I’m guessing that means that I haven’t shared it. Anyway, after our last couple of appointments have not gone well, we were thrilled to hear things like that the doctor was [...]

10 Things I’ve Been Doing Instead of Posting

My regularity in posting lately has been a little off.  I’ve been keeping quite busy though, even if some of it has still left me working away at the computer.  So, just for fun, I thought I would list ten things that I’ve been doing instead of posting here at Many Little Blessings. 1. Registering [...]

7 Quick Takes: May 20, 2011 (Vol. 81)

~ 1 ~ This is the beginning of our second summer with a grape arbor. I’ll love it when we actually have grapes.  But, for right now, check this out: ~ 2 ~ We have one day of school left for this school year!  Yes — just one! Yes, of course, we will be learning [...]

7 Quick Takes: March 25, 2011 (Vol. 75)

~ 1 ~ Organizing the Spring Spruce Up and writing up my posts for it (plus doing the craft room makeover) definitely took a lot of my time over the last week!  So much so that I didn’t even write a 7 Quick Takes last week.  I also didn’t write about what happened at our [...]
