Life…Interrupted
So often we think we have things under control. Life is going along fine. Then it happens, that one thing you never expected. Or, you saw it coming, but the magnitude far outreaches what you imagined. Is God there? What is He thinking? How can I get through this? My greatest challenge these days is…
MGM 2005
If you’ve been following my blog this week you’ll know the family is all in Orlando, doing Disney and hanging with my relatives who have NO Internet access. But it’s the first time we’ve done Disney without having to sit through one of those Time Share Tours. Oh, how I remember the last time sooo…
Blog Tour: Over Her Head by Shelley Bates
Laurie Hale has the perfect life–and the perfect family to go with it–until her teenage daughter is accused of murder, and the life Laurie knows disappears. Laurie Hale imagined fun, love, and success for her daughter, Anna. But when one of Anna’s classmates is murdered and the police start asking questions, a very different future…
Checking In!
I’m totally exhausted from out trek around the world, Disney style. We visited Epcot yesterday mainly because Grace had a princess luncheon. The park is not my favorite for the little ones, but we managed to have a wonderfully fun and tiring time. My feet are still aching! Tomorrow we’re off to the Magic Kingdom.…
Weaving Through the Setbacks
My blog is gone. I’d uploaded a database backup plug-in, and upon activation, good-bye blog. Ironic, isn’t it? I can only hope it’s retrievable. One year of blogging gone forever. Last night in between preparing cheese sauce and broccoli, a toddler wound around my leg, and a terrific thunderstorm, I wondered what God could possibly…
Homeschool Update
HOMESCHOOL REFLECTIONS As this year of homeschooling comes to an end, I thought it would be fun and interesting to take a trip down memory lane. So I’ll be posting a series of homeschool posts from my past (old dead blog) and reflecting on what I’ve written and if things have really changed every Thursday.…
Magic Kingdom Part 2
After the Jungle Cruise we then headed to Fantasy Land where we ran to get pictures with Ariel at her grotto. They said the line was a 45 min. wait, so I took the three youngest ones and we went to see if we could ride Dumbo. But the line was too long so we…
Midweek Motivation
Start Your Day out Right! Scripture, Short DevotionStop! Get your Bible. Open it to the Gospel of John. Read Chapter 1:1-18.The Gospel of John may be my all-time favourite piece of literature. It’s everything: a novel, a factual account, and a screenplay that runs in my mind. It’s shifting, panoramic scenes begin with one of…
The Magic Kingdom 2005 Part 1
Day 3 Magic Kingdom Part 1 I woke up early and TRIED to get the kids ready, but we had some sleepy heads. Finally we made it out the door, got the tickets and rushed to the Magic Kingdom, arriving only a couple minutes late for our breakfast. We saw Tigger first thing. Chris (10)…
Orland or Bust!
As you read this we’ve probably been driving for several hours on day two to Orlando. I hope this trip is uneventful. Nothing like last time… Here’s an entry I wrote two years ago on our road trip to Disney World. Day 1 Monday, May 2005 We woke up early and drove all day. A…
