Just for a laugh

I came across this video a while back and thought it was pretty funny, so now I am sharing it with you. It’s a video from a sermon where the preacher is referencing a message where some “tents were pitched.” Keep that in mind and watch the video. 

And, if you have [...]

A New Day

Okay, before I get into the real content of this post I have to admit that I am surprised at the support David has received for putting butter on his PB&J sandwiches. Apparently this is a much more popular phenomenon than I was led to believe! Although I am normally a big fan of butter [...]

Going to the Dentist

Today our whole family made a journey to the dentist. I know, it seems dramatic to call it a journey, but you see my Dad is our dentist and his office is an hour from where we live so it is a journey…especially when you factor in the 2 kids!
Thankfully the drive there was not [...]

The Great Debate

David and I were raised differently. This may seem like an obvious assumption to make, but in all honesty it didn’t really rear its ugly head until after we were married. At that point we had all sorts of disagreements over how we should cook dinner, fold clothes, sleep in the bed, mow the lawn, [...]

There Goes the Neighborhood

Tonight, as we were backing out of our driveway to go to dinner, I happened to notice that there were a few police cars parked in front of our house. I thought it seemed interesting, since we live in a very quiet neighborhood and we don’t really ever have traffic on our street, let alone [...]

Insert Title Here”__________”

I’m suffering from writer’s block right now. I’m pretty sure that my children have sucked every creative ounce of my being out of me. You know, it’s a documented fact that the Wiggles actually causes your brain to deteriorate? And drawing countless renditions of our family on Madeline’s new easel really has depleted my creative [...]

My Own Miracle

So after posting about my friend, Pam’s, car accident I got to thinking. I have my own car accident/miracle story that I have always thought I should share on here, but just never got around to posting it. So, I figure now is a good time to share it with you all.
About 5 years ago, [...]

A Good Reminder

My friend Pam sent me an email, and she also posted a copy of it on her blog. I wanted to link over there for you all to read it. She was in a very scary car accident  (that involved a semi) last Saturday, and both she and her friend were amazingly not seriously injured. [...]

I Think I Might Take up Yoga

I got a catalog in the mail the other day that I have never received before. It is called Athleta and it is full of yoga clothes. Yes, there is an entire collection of clothing to be worn when practicing yoga, because apparently t-shirts and sweat pants block your chakra or something like that.
After perusing [...]

Potpourri

I’ll take Potpourri for $500, Alex.
Watch Jeopardy? The Potpourri category has always amused me. I know it isn’t really that funny, but for some reason every time I hear someone ask Alex for that category I am slightly amused. Since I was feeling so inspired by Jeopardy, I thought I would give you a little [...]
