Celebrate Good Times!
What Are You Doing Tonight?
Our family is hanging out with friends for a High School Musical 2 party! We’ve been planning on watching this for months, but had to find a friend who would invite us over since we don’t have cable. We’ve stocked up on junk food and are planning for a night filled with music and fun!…
Happy Birthday Baby Boy!
Timmy is 7 years old today! I remember his birth so well. It was quick and fast, so fast in fact the doctor didn’t get there in time. My water had broken as it did in my two previous preludes to labor. The hospital was less than a mile a way, so we picked up…
Pensacola Beach
We’ve taken a detour to Pensacola Beach since we didn’t get to see the ocean in Orlando. Spending time with family was fun and interesting. But I’ll save that for another post. Traveling over the little bridge to Pensacola beach, I was overwhelmed by awe and a little fear. The peninsula or island (not sure…
Thank You!
To all the families who have lost loved ones while serving and protecting our countries and those around the world! We remember and we are grateful!
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.…
Taking a Rest
Life has been extremely busy this last month. You’d think since I homeschool there wouldn’t be as many activities, but there are. Baseball and soccer games, musical recitals, preschool parties and co-op parties! I’m pretty much exhausted, but if you’re reading this, don’t feel too sorry for me. (Though I’d covet your prayers for safety…
Pre-Teen and Teen No Hassle Birthday Parties
We’ve done it all, from renting ponies for a backyard cowboy party to having a dozen princesses over (the kiddie variety) and building a huge cardboard maze castle tunnel. But with four kids and the older ones getting too old for backyard birthdays, we’ve decided a couple of years ago that Chris (12) and Joey…
Grace Turns 5 this Month
I wrote this a year ago. My how time flies… Grace turned four last month, but we’re just now getting around to having her Princess Birthday party. It was a great time filled with a dozen little girls in their princess gowns. The boys and a friend dressed up as princes and I swear they…
He is Risen Journey to Jerusalem
The following is an exerpt from my very first WIP written before I actually knew how to write a novel. It’s been cleaned up a bit, but still not ready to send out into the world, yet I wanted to share a few scenes with you because I researched the crucifixion in detail and want…
Easter Story Cookies
Here’s a GREAT way to share the Easter story. We attempted to do this last year on the night before Christmas and the story was awesome using the ingredients like broken pecans to represent Jesus’ scourging, vinegar to represent Jesus’ thirst on the cross, and eggs to represent life. Though the separately, the ingredients don’t…
