Too tired to think through a witty post or deep thoughts. It was a good day, and no doubt my tiredness tonight is owing to it.
I tried an experiment with my bread, and my husband tells me it’s pretty much the best bread I ever baked. I halved the yeast amount and [...]

It’s an exciting week around here. DVBS (Daily Vacation Bible School) begins tomorrow. We have four very excited children, some of whom have even laid out their clothes and Bibles in order to be ready quickly in the morning. We’ve had a few practice runs so I’m relatively confident we will be [...]

I’ve enjoyed Mrs. Wilt’s posts on tea parties so much, I decided that we will start having tea on Sunday afternoon. Maybe not every Sunday, but regularly. Today was a use-what-you-have tea party since I hadn’t planned for it and had to scramble. Perhaps devilled eggs are not standard afternoon fare, but [...]

I was puttering around this morning, making grandiose plans of how to spend all my new-found extra time (thanks to my schedule ~ yes, it’s only day 1, but please let me enjoy this small success!) and imagining the beautiful scrapbooks I could make with my pictures and my blog posts. Then I decided [...]

That’s what I’m trying to tell myself these days. Kim recently started a blog and soon discovered how terribly addictive blogging is. Who knew? I think we can expect to hear from her often. Well, Kim ~ at least you know you’re not the only one.
All of life is blogging material. [...]

That’s what I said when my sister called at 9:45 this morning to let me know that she was just leaving to meet me and walk down to The Homeplace together. That’s what I said, but what I meant was, “Oh, no!” I had just got out of the shower. It’s [...]
