So which of those title items would you like to hear about first? My call? Okay dokee, I’ll start with the good news, which is that my husband has been following through on a couple of job leads—please keep praying!—and hasn’t had a chance to do his guest post.

Wordless Wednesday

A Capitol Vacation
So here’s the thing. I decided that I couldn’t possibly do all those iBook reviews at home…in Minnesota…with the days of summer dwindling and a great big world just a’waitin’ my discovery. So I packed up the iPad… (and the family and the van) ...and left. For a week. Stay tuned. If you wish. Ed. Note: I promised my husband that … [Read more...]
Taking an iBreak
Do you remember when I asked if you'd work really hard for a month to earn an iPad? (It was one of the "takes" in my last "7 Quick Takes" post. I'd link to it but I'm lazy.) Well, this is is the month and I'm going to go for it. I've been asked to review five iBooks by a local company that's produced them. They are engaging books but HARD--we're … [Read more...]

The Gift of the Magi for Modern Wives (Part II)
“The grass is always greener… when it’s watered.” Anonymous I don't know why I'm making this post so difficult because all I really want to say is this: Be intimate with your husband more often. It will transform your marriage. I could go on and on about this...and maybe that's why I'm hesitating. I don't want to overstep the … [Read more...]
Notes on the Announcement
Hey, Google Readers! Did you catch the update on the ultrasound yesterday? I thought there might be more of a reaction, but that would be my own comment gluttony and I should be ashamed of myself. It’s an addiction kind of thing. Comments and coffee, that’s me. * * * I have to tease my mother-in-law a bit. When I sent her the profile shot … [Read more...]
I peeked! It’s a healthy baby…
[The Big Update] Boy? Girl? That’s right! God has blessed us with a set of double bookend boys! (a phrase originally coined by my sweet friend, Charlotte.) Thanks for being patient with me! I wanted to tell my family first. ☺ [End of the Big Update] Come back tomorrow morning at 9:00 for the big reveal. (Hey, c’mon. … [Read more...]
