Reading on the Go

Posted in Family

Project 365 – #250 Yes, I still very much like the feel of a book in my hands. I like being able to physically turn the pages and quickly flip to my favorite passages. Yet, I do like the ease of being able to slip a multitude of books into my purse in the form of my Kindle. I can take my Bible and devotional with me as well as several different books without the weight and bulk of carrying all of these things. I’m so torn between the old fashioned way of reading and the digital age. I don’t…

Review and Giveaway: Theo Presents dvd

Posted in Reviews

Theo Presents is an all new animated video series from the same man, Michael Joens, who brought to you animated favorites such as McGee and Me and Adventures in Odyssey. Mike created the concept of Theo back in 1978, but the Lord wasn’t ready to open the door for it’s production until now. One little tidbit that I found interesting is that Mike is a former Marine who ended up in the animation industry after attending Bible college. He worked for several big name companies such as Marvel Productions, Warner Brothers, and Hanna Barbera Studios before starting his own animation…

An Exciting Surprise

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #248 Late yesterday afternoon, I went to rest for a bit as I had a bad headache. D and Munchkin headed outside to wash the vehicles. I fell asleep to the sounds of the normal vehicle washing antics. The next thing I know I’m being woken up by screams from Munchkin, “Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!” I shot up out of bed concerned that something bad had happened. As I’m trying to wake up, I hear, “There are babies! Rosita had babies! There are 3 babies! Come one, come on, come on!!” So, downstairs we went to see the…
