7 Quick Takes: November 18, 2011 (Vol. 104)

~ 1 ~ It seems like the weather lately has been so crazy!  In just the last couple of weeks, we’ve had lovely weather with no need for even a jacket, several hours of snow, and then one day of a crazy storm with tornado warnings and hail.  Not just little hail either.  This 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: July 22, 2011 (Vol. 89)

~ 1 ~ I haven’t seemed to be able to get back into the swing of things this week.  I’m not sure if it’s having been away to Savvy Blogging Summit all last weekend, or if it’s from the extreme heat.  But, oh man — I have just been exhausted this week.  I’ve been going [...]

Being a Yes Mom

Are you a No Mom? Do you find yourself saying no to your kids requests and ideas far more than you say yes?  Are you often telling the kids why a particular idea won’t work, without giving them the chance to try it out for themselves? Know what?  I’m that Mom sometimes, and I don’t [...]

7 Quick Takes: February 4, 2011 (Vol. 69)

~ 1 ~ We had some crazy snow this week! It was not so crazy in the amount — only around 9 or 10 inches.  Sure, that is a lot, but it’s not like we’ve never had that (or more) before.  This time, however, the majority of it was a sleet/snow mix.  This stuff is [...]

10 Things I Love About Fall

Fall is definitely my favorite season. It’s not even a competition really.  I don’t have a close second favorite.  With all of the other seasons, there are definitely things that I like a lot, but things that I just don’t like so much.  Fall, however, I just love. Although I could make a long list [...]

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: April 9, 2010 (Vol. 36)

~ 1 ~ This weather is just crazy! In the seven day forecast on the local news, there is a 50 degree difference between tomorrow’s low and Wednesday’s high.  I can’t believe we were sweating wearing shorts and t-shirts a few days ago, and then are wearing jackets and shivering in the wind today.  Oh, [...]

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, [...]
