What is Love?

Posted in Family, and Holidays

Valentine’s Day has gotten me thinking about love. We often hear that people fall in love or fall out of love, but what is love truly??? Is it possible to have a love that lasts a lifetime? It’s so rare these days to see a couple that makes it a lifetime. It’s sad to hear that they are the exception not the rule. What would happen if we decided that we would love like the Bible teaches us to love? The Bible tells us… Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or…

Growing Up

Posted in Family

I don’t recall giving Munchkin permission to grow up so quickly, yet, this picture shows that she’s growing up way too fast. How does this happen without us noticing? One day she was our little baby — now she’s a little miss. **sigh** Ok, ok, so she’s only 7 (soon-to-be 8), but man does time fly… Today, we were sorting and cleaning some things and ran across some pictures from when she was really little. We showed them to her and she didn’t recognize herself. She was so little back then. She said it looked like her little cousin. It…

Stuart Little

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

We had a wonderful time at Stuart Little. It didn’t follow the book even remotely, but it was still a wonderful production. Since the schools were on a 2 hours delay here, the school groups didn’t show up. It was nice as it was just our homeschool group, a small preschool group, and a handful of mommys with their little ones. It was great. Our lunch was a grilled chicken sandwich, apple, goldfish, oreo snackers, and a juice box. We really enjoyed ourselves. The next production will be Charlotte’s Web. Munchkin is super excited — it’s next month. lol!

Thankful Thursday: Home

Posted in Family

How many times do we take our homes and the things in our homes for granted? Are we grateful for the things that we have or do we want more? Are we satisfied with what God has blessed us with or do we feel that it’s not good enough? The truth is, if we’re willing to admit it, we all have been guilty of the gimmies. I thought I’d take the time today to really be grateful for the things in my home. 1. I am extremely grateful that I have a laptop computer. Having my laptop allows me the…

Snow Day

Posted in Family

We had a snow day today. Now, a snow day here doesn’t necessarily mean a lot of snow — in fact, they’ll close things down with the threat of snow (at times). Anyway, we had probably a couple of inches or so. Enough snow that munchkin had fun playing in it. Since we’re homeschooling, a snow day doesn’t mean she doesn’t have to do her school work. BUT, I do allow her to play out in the snow as much as she wants since it doesn’t snow that often. Of course, that means that she’s just now finishing up her…
