We’re in the middle of making caramel-oatmeal-walnut-chocolate chip cookies over here at our house. (Do you think we could add ONE more thing to these cookies?) Russell loves home baked anything. He hates breakfast food, so I’m sure these will be with him on his way out the door tomorrow
So while they are [...]

I moved my kids blog here. I regularly post the cute things they say, which are probably more cute to me than anyone else, but in case you’re interested
Fishing

We were at the grocery store the other day and Silas picked up a lint roller and started carrying it around. He was banging on things and such. Then he stopped in the middle of a large aisle and looked around at all the shoppers, and said very loudly into his lint roller microphone “DOES [...]

“Lindsay’s Fake Wipe Out” – Stole it from Sacha’s blog
My sister Lindsay went snowboarding with some singles from our church this weekend. She calls me Friday night “I lost my car key. It was in my coat pocket while I was on the slopes” It took them 7 hours to drive up there! I checked [...]
Coffee Grinder Tip

I am probably the last person on earth to find out about this, but did you know you can clean your coffee grinder with a little bit of uncooked rice? I ground up some this morning and our coffee grinder looks brand new! Who’d of thunk? By the way, I’m no coffee connoisseur, my favorite [...]

My aunt emailed me this story. It encouraged me to “make the most of every opportunity.” The Lord has been speaking to me about sowing and reaping lately so this was very encouraging. God is building something glorious in our lives through the mundane as we depend on Him and continue to sow into the [...]
PlayDoh

A few weeks ago in children’s church, they gave out little jars of playdoh. I stuck it in my purse as I picked up my daughter. Since then it has helped us so many times. When I went to have my license renewed and we had to wait and wait, I took requests to make [...]

It’s Jane Austen, so I’m assuming most of you have seen it, but it’s not one of the more recently produced ones (1995 – looks more like 1985) so I thought I’d post for some who might be interested. It’s a little slow, but I still like it.
Sir Walter Elliot (Corin Redgrave), a spendthrift baronet [...]
The Inheritance
Posted in Movies on January 16, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Okay, here’s another one of my favorite chick flicks. The acting is cheesy, but somehow that adds charm to it. It’s a sweet story. I’ve been attached to this video which is a movie adaptation of the book by Louisa May Alcott, who also wrote “Little Women”. It definitely doesn’t have the depth or (great [...]
North and South

Margaret Hale is one of literature’s most original heroines. The daughter of a middle-class minister, she has enjoyed a privileged upbringing in rural southern England, until her father leaves the church on a matter of conscience and uproots his family, including Margaret’s frail mother, from their comfortable life in the south to the industrial northern [...]
