A.K.A. My Fallen, Flawed, Predictable Me The “real” cake, of course, was absolutely gorgeous. “It had to be,” NiNi’s godmother teased me, “You bragged up my cakes in that birthday post!” (Okay, so she didn’t say exactly that…though there was some ribbing about having set the bar so high.) (When I thought about it, I realized she was … [Read more...]
The Close of Our First Year of AHG
A {Pretty Happy Funny Real} Round-Up {Pretty} This is so totally a personal bias, but I find little girls in uniforms to be very pretty. The above picture was taken before the American Heritage Girls Spring Court of Awards ceremony, which was held last Monday evening. It is not to be confused with this photo, which was taken after the … [Read more...]
On being Fat and Out of Work
The first one is me, the latter one’s my husband. I’m going to talk about both, however, because I’m a blogger and that’s what I do.Unfortunately I haven’t had a whole lot of energy for blogging lately.

This Valley of Tears
I have been a very unpredictable blogger lately—posting, pulling, posting, pulling. Okay, so, those of you that know me will say, this isn’t all that unpredictable! I’ve always been flighty and full of self-doubt…and yet, despite the insecurities, have tried to keep things “real” on this blog. You have told me that you appreciate this—my keeping … [Read more...]
Where to begin…ever?
Alternately Titled: Upon My Going Flippin’ Crazy The month of August is like one long and drawn-out Sunday night. So much to do…so little summer! Here in Minnesota, we are trying to drain the season to its dregs while—simultaneously—cleaning the classroom and buying supplies and making last-minute tweaks to the curriculum. It is an odd and … [Read more...]
From the Prayer Book
It is right and fitting that redeemed people should live no longer for themselves but solely for Him Who died for them! A noble soul constantly focuses its thoughts, affections and aspirations on eternity. Whatever is not eternal, whatever is not infinite is valueless to it. We should raise ourselves above all vain pleasures, our eyes fixed on … [Read more...]
From Sunshine to Storm Clouds and Back Again (I hope)
So I sat down to write a blog post this morning and saw that my Blogspot followers went down overnight. Unable to help myself (and yet, knowing better) I clicked over to Google Reader and saw that over there, too, I was down by two.Losing my readers always makes me wonder--was it something I said or something I didn't? Am I too fluffy? Offensive? … [Read more...]
