Life’s a Three Ring Circus
This past weekend we took the kids and my mom to the local circus. It’s always a thrill to sit in the big arena and watch all the animal, dare devil and acrobatic acts. Though while my eyes flitted from ring to ring trying to soak it all in I noticed my little girl was…
Did You Ever Have One of Those Divine Appointments?
I had one Thursday morning. Since I only had two hours to write before my daughter’s field trip, I decided to go to a coffee shop close to her school. It wasn’t my favorite coffee shop because the rooms weren’t conducive to quiet writing. Every room I entered had someone gabbing to a friend, loudly.…
Coming Up for Air!
Right now I’m over committed and I seem to be taking on new projects every moment. Like my willingness to be write some news articles for my kids’ school website and newly developed newsletter that I’m NOT in charge of, but I’m on the committee. Also on the agenda for this week is teaching writing…
If You Wait, They Will Come
I’m talking about emails. I’ve literally spent hours at the computer answering one email after another, searching on blogs, then back to emails! The insanity has to stop! I waste too much time waiting for that email to come in. The one I just have to answer right away. I did it again this morning,…
Say Hello to Some Extra Cash! Ciao.com
When I first saw this at 5MinutesforMom, being Italian, I was instantly drawn to the name! Then I heard I could make money reviewing products I already use, I thought it was worth checking out! Sign up was easy. Just like any other community site, but finding products to review took some time. I could…
Tarnished Silver
With the start of the new year, comes a new commitment to finish the series I started a long time ago. Experiencing Christ Within by Dwight Edwards is a wonderful and transforming Bible series I’m happy to get back to. I’ve posted the entire series to date on Portrait of Faith, my Bible study site.…
Too Busy to Play
It seems that I’ve been so busy doing…(field trips, shopping, baking, blogging, laundry, cooking) that there hasn’t been much time to enjoy my family. There’s always something that needs to be done and being the choleric that I am, I usually make time to do it. Some of the things I do are really good.…
Boo Mama’s Christmas Tour of Homes
Welcome to our humble home where Jesus is the reason, and not just for the season. We’ve had the boxes of decorations out since Thanksgiving weekend, but due to the boys’ play, we haven’t been home long enough to put it all up. We finished last weekend! So grab yourself a warm drink and make…
Opposite World
Jesus said we live in an opposite world. Just one glance at Luke 6 verses 20-38 proves it. Imagine reading these words for the very first time… 20…”Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 “Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you…
Are You on that Computer, Again?
How many times have you heard that one? From your spouse, or (dare I confess) children? I mean, it’s not like I’m watching Soap Operas, or Oprah, or Dr. Phil all day (did the rounds for a season when my my boys were little) or talking on the phone all day long. I rarely talk…
