That's a wonderful book title, isn't it? A wonderful title, yes, but such a sad, sad thought. Why would we want to choose something other God? And yet we do. We fill our days with things other than Him and, as you probably already know, if the devil can't make us bad he'll make us busy. Go on and ask me how I know this. And so even though … [Read more...]
My Little American Heritage Girl
Angela needed to do a poster, scrapbook or video to fulfill the Tenderheart Level Award... ...so she did a video of her poster. Isn't she sweet? And way more nervous than normal? … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday
Vol. VII: On being dissed by the Target clerk for buying junk food Alternately Titled: Think-About It Thursday What? I was really busy yesterday. And in any case, I have been thinking about "weighty" issues a lot--one might even say a TON--and here are some of my thoughts on the matter: 1. It's hard, hard work to lose ten pounds. 2. It's even … [Read more...]
They love me; they love me not
Or, how that deck of cards was stacked against me Did you have a good Mother's Day? I did...and then I didn't. And then I did...and then I didn't. Mother's Day is such a tough one! It's all about us, allegedly, and so when it's not (all about all us, that is) we tend to pout and/or cry and/or be disappointed. I do, anyway. At least, … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday
Vol. VI: In Which I Ponder the Existence of Overweight Crickets So what do you think: Would changing the name of this series to Weight-Off Wednesday inspire people to link up? 'Cause I'm not really feeling the link-up love right now. No offense to your own sweet self, of course. You're great. It's just...it's just...I'm weighing the merits … [Read more...]
Maggie’s Quick Picks
The "This Book, this Kid" Edition I am having a blast with my almost-five-year-old. Gosh, I love this age! I really do. The book Spiky, Slimy, Smooth is a current preschool favorite--one of the best "What is Texture" books I've read and believe me, this homeschooling mom has read a few. Do check it out. The odds are good your library has … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday
Vol. V: The Thursday Edition, because I'm this blog's owner and I can do that. The number on the scale? Pffft!! It hasn't budged. I should probably be concerned about this--about my being ZERO inspiration to ANYONE--and then I thought, you know, I could still maybe inspire you with other equally important things. (That's an excuse. Did you … [Read more...]
Food for Thought on Easter Friday
~ This post is dedicated to Karen Edmisten, a dear friend and one of my favorite converts. : ) It was she that introduced me to Daily with De Sales...and it is she that has a birthday today! Happy Birthday, Karen!! "You recognize thousands of imperfections and failings in yourself, contrary to your desire for purity and perfect love of … [Read more...]
On a Lighter Note…
(and that is not a reference to my weight...) We made a cake for the feast of Saint George yesterday! A dragon cake, as per Charlotte's tutorial. (We all hacked off a body part. We slayed the dragon and served him up on china.) (I got the butt.) (I didn't mind.) Now, if you're like me when I used to read posts like this, you're … [Read more...]
Weigh-In {Easter} Wednesday
You know what? I've decided I'm fine with being fat. So what if I'm ten (or fifteen) pounds overweight? So what if the online assessments agree with me? I'm tired; I'm stressed; I need my escapes. At least, that's how I'm feeling this week. * * * We went home to North Dakota on Easter Sunday. I didn't take any pictures with my camera … [Read more...]
