We were sitting at a high school football game a few weeks ago when Kedron stood up and walked over to the fence behind the bleachers. He yelled at a group of middle school boys, “BREAK IT UP!! NOW!!!” The group looked at him shocked, and then looked around as if asking, “Who? Us?” Four [...]
But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15b My childhood home had a doorknocker with this verse from Joshua inscribed on it. I remember asking my parents when we moved into the home if they were going to keep the doorknocker or take it down. They replied that they’d [...]
** This is a book review and give away! I just thought I should make that clear before rumors started circulating the internets that I was pregnant or something! I’m thrilled to offer a copy of Marla Taviano‘s beautiful book Expecting: Praying for your child’s development – body and soul. From the back cover: Just [...]

The Narrator knows me so well. He ought to after all these years together! For my birthday, he picked up a JoAnns gift card so I could buy my own yarn, some small scissors to put in my knitting basket, and this great book. He knows me well enough to know that my hobbies are [...]
I’m not very technologically literate, and I depend on The Narrator to keep me in the loop. He recently acquired an iphone for work, and I inherited his ipod touch. The Narrator has done an excellent job loading his phone with (mostly educational) games for the kids. I cannot tell you handy this has come [...]
While snooping through my Christmas stocking from my Mom on December 22nd, I discovered a Borders gift card. I get really, really excited about buying books. The Narrator just happened to bring home a 40% off coupon for Borders the same day, so I spent my Christmas money, before Christmas. It was sooo worth it!! [...]
I was familiar with the Kumon name because we have a very busy Kumon learning center not far from our home. But it wasn’t until I read this review on Mommy Life about the Kumon workbooks, that I decided to hunt some down. While doing a little Christmas shopping, I came across some notebook sized [...]
