I won’t be around for a while. Probably not ’til September. I’ll still be reading along with the BRF girls, but I doubt if I’ll get any reviews up. August is crazy full here at Seven Meadows, and then comes September and school.
Not sure when (or even if) I’ll be back, to [...]

Posted in Sunday Seven on July 22, 2007 | 4 Comments »
My treasures from our recent semi-spontaneous camping trip to St. Martins to visit with family and meet some cousins for the first time. Treasures courtesy of Country Bee Candle shop, House of Henry, and the Bay of Fundy.
I find myself wondering if we can squeeze in another trip to House of Henry, oops, I [...]
Works for me Friday

I remember wondering during my first year as a homeschooling mom if we were going to have to choose between being smart and being clean. It’s a challenge to keep a house spic and span when a large percentage of the mess makers are gone for a good chunk of the day; it is [...]
No harps in Heaven
Posted in Uncategorized on July 18, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Whoever started the angels-sitting-around-on-clouds-strumming-harps thing has it all wrong.
I like to think that Heaven will be filled with the sounds of bagpipes and snare drums and big booming bass drums. I have long been a fan of music, and have often been moved by a beautiful tune or a profound lyric, but bagpipes affect [...]

My youngest sister’s two weeks here flew by, and we weren’t able to make the trip out to our favourite little tearoom, the neatest place with the yummiest quiche and salad and just oozing with atmosphere.
And so I decided to come as close as I could at my house, and invited everyone to my place [...]
Excuses, excuses

Yes, I am really busy these days, just like everyone else. But that’s not why I’m AWOL. My browser has decided to crash every time I try to open my WordPress dashboard. It’s the only link that sends my computer into panic mode. So for today I’m dropping in from a [...]

Some of life’s most beautiful things don’t last nearly long enough.

Crystal at Biblical Womanhood is hosting a contest on her blog, and by writing about it here and emailing her to let her know, I get my name entered twice. I’m always on the lookout for good books for my kids, and when they’re free ~ all the better!
(As if I’d ever win. [...]
By the sea

There is no other place on earth where time stands still; where I can sit for hours on end and stare straight ahead, then come home, exhausted, thinking what a full and satisfying day it’s been.
Now you’re ready.

Looking at knives and multitools online is a daily event around here, so I really don’t pay much attention to the crowd of testosterone around MY computer, that is, until I hear something like this:
“I’d love to get one of those for Mom.”
Um, nice as that multitool pruner is, you already bought me two very [...]
