I was SO excited to get to review the Soda Stream Fountain Jet! We love soda, but I actually gave up Dr. Pepper and Mr. Pibb for Lent. I had my reservations about the Soda Stream, because I don’t want us to get addicted to something that’s equally not good for us, but I began …
Although we aren’t really affected by Spring Break, as Daddy still had to work and we don’t go to school, we got to visit with friends, relatives, and also hang out with the school aged kids more often than usual! We had a great week! We also planted our front flower bed, found ladybugs, and …
1. “I want to be 1 for Halloween.” 2. “I want you to be a cheerleader, Mommy. And a Mermaid.” 3. “When you eat hot dogs, they’re really good for you. But chips are not!” 4. “I want to save my M&Ms. Keep them for me and if anyone that we don’t know comes in, …
The other day, we participated in the Bountiful Baskets food co-op for the first time, and were delighted what we had in our box! Delicious strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, apples, a pineapple, zucchini, tomatoes, a yellow bell pepper, broccoli, lettuce, and……green chard. Huh? Green what? What was I supposed to do with this?

I just learned that today is World Read Aloud Day! What a fun day to celebrate literacy! The LitWorld website states that at least 793 MILLION people worldwide remain illiterate. Everyone should have the opportunity to pick up a good book and just read. World Read Aloud day “motivates children, teens, and adults worldwide to …
I’ve been going to church since I was in the womb, so I’ve seen a lot of issues that are just sad come out of the church. I see it all the time….friends post on Facebook “he claimed to be a Christian” or “Christians are so hypocritical.” There are Christians that have done me and …
My dad just sent me this funny forward. (thanks, Dad!) Some of these are sad, but true! It’s amazing how things have even changed from MY childhood….which was…twentysomething years ago!!! I’m beginning to understand why people older than me just shake their heads at some of the “kids these days!” haha! **The email did not …
Less than a week ago, Baby D knocked our laptop off of the couch. (Where it shouldn’t have been in the first place, I know….) My sweet hubby immediately called our computer expert friend, diagnosed the problem, and picked out a hard drive for me to order. The hard drive arrived today and he’s been …
