Remembering Those Special Days

Wanna know how to get your husband to remember your birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day, or other special occasion? I have a novel idea for you, that has worked well for me these past 7 years. Tell him! My husband is horrible with calendars. His mind just simply doesn’t work that way. Quiz him on the date of my birthday and, given some time to think, he will probably get it. Ask him how far away that is and he will have no clue (He would need time to figure out which month we were in first).

What I'll Do to my Children for Free Chick-Fil-A

I LOVE Chick-Fil-A. I could go on and on about how family friendly they are, how good their food is, how I think Truitt Cathy is such a great example of a godly businessman… but I will save my love affair with Chick-Fil-A, the inventors of the chicken sandwich, for another post, or two… Friday was Cow Appreciation Day. I know this because I subscribe to the Chick-Fil-A e-mail updates and I am in on all things up and coming at Chick-Fil-A.

Weekend Thoughts: Vacation Bible School

This past week our church hosted Vacation Bible School. I love that we do vacation Bible School because it provides a tangible way for our church to reach out and serve our surrounding community. Parents eager for a mid summer break are offered something fun for their kids to get involved in. Kids come to play games, make crafts, meet friends, eat snacks, sing songs and the leave having had a great time.

Spiderman Strikes at Nap Time

Since my son turned 4 I no longer require him to nap every day. But to keep my sanity ensure that he has some down time, I do require him to have a quiet, rest time in his room while his sisters are napping. Most of the time he ends up falling asleep. Other times, he reads or plays with toys on his bed. On Monday afternoon he found a red pen in his room during this time and decided to transform himself into Spider Man.

My Shortest Pregnancy Yet

Time for another Sincerley Fro' Me To You Post. Since my baby turns one this month, I thought I’d share a pregnancy anecdote with you. In January of last year my good friend told me she was pregnant with her third child. Her oldest son is 10 months younger than my son, and the two of them are good buddies. Her second son is 4 months younger than my middle child.

I've been tagged again!!

Megan tagged me with this a little over a week ago, and I thought it was past time to play along. So, in case you didn’t learn enough about me on my 100th post … here’s more!! _ _ 1) What was I doing 10 years ago? It was the summer after my freshman year of college. My parents moved to PA so I was spending the summer with them and preparing to transfer from Towson University to Slippery Rock Univeristy.

Library Revisited

I have a problem. Despite my best intentions, I seem incapable of returning library books on time. Upon returning home from the library, my husband often asks, “So, how much are these going to cost us?” It seems our library visits are taking a dramatic turn for the worst. Even after our bad experience at the library , I took the kids back for books. This last time we weren’t scolded for our “inside voices” so I thought all was good.

Harvesting 'Good Weeds'

This spring I planted a garden with my kids. I use the term garden very loosely. We did plant seeds and some plants grew, but if you looked at my garden right now you can’t really tell the weeds from the plants. In fact my son calls the actual plants, “good weeds.” We planted the seeds in April. The kids and I were so excited. We weeded the garden, dug the row and planted the seeds.
