Our Valentine’s Day 2010

Posted in Holidays

Munchkin and D had fallen asleep on Saturday night.  I slipped downstairs and starting preparing their surprise breakfast, gluten free cinnamon raisin biscuits.  I tinted the frosting pink just for fun.  (Munchkin declared the next day that they tasted like a cross between biscuits and cinnamon rolls.) As the biscuits were baking, I began to decorate for Valentine’s Day.  Neither D nor Munchkin expected to find anything on Sunday morning, but this is what they saw… Wanting to add a little fun to our plain light over the table, I hung balloons with pom, pom ribbon.  I always pick up…

Bible in 90 Days: Day 46 Check-In

Posted in Christian Life

I was thrilled to be in Psalms for our reading this week.  I often turn to Psalms when I need comfort or inspiration.  It’s filled with so much emotion from hurt to anger to pure joy.  The emotions contained within this book of the Bible are eloquently presented, and conversations with God are played out before our eyes.  There is so much to be learned from this book of the Bible.

Posted in Holidays, Homemaking, and Homeschooling

At the homeschool Valentine’s party, Munchkin and her friends had fun doing several different crafts.  The mom who pulled together all of the crafts did a great job. The Candy iPod was a huge hit.  They all decided that their new iPods played sweet music.  You can find the instructions for these here. Some of the other crafts included painting rocks, fingerprint heart cards, and heart rubbings.  The kids each made a Valentine card to be delivered to local shut-ins. They had fun passing out their Valentines to each other.  We had them line up the bags/mailboxes/boxes on the sofas,…
