Casual Get-Togethers – What’s Your Take?

So, yesterday’s post inspired a comment that inspired some questions in my mind, and I thought I would share with you!  I’d love to hear some of your thoughts on casual get-togethers with friends. How often do you have friends/neighbors over to your house? Do you always do dinner . . . or just dessert [...]

All Full!

Recently, Handsome’s Bible study group met and watched a leadership video.  I didn’t see it, so I can’t tell you all of the great details, but one of the things that man in the video said was that we all need to take time to do the things that fill us up. That comment has [...]

Comfortable

I had a conversation with a neighbor.  She mentioned that her family was more of a museum family than a camping family. The next day, as I watched our children make themselves at home at our campsite, I began to think: “I want our children to be as comfortable camping as they are in a [...]

A Really, Really Informal Survey

After witnessing an interesting conversation about this subject, I’m super, duper curious…so will you please help me out and answer a question or two?

I Need A Little Help From My Friends

So, I need some ideas: I love to send people cards or fun little gifts for their birthdays.  One year (about a billion years ago, before the post office got all uppity about things being perfectly flat) I figured out that I could mail a little pad of post it notes to my friends for [...]

Isn’t It Ironic!

Last week, I turned the washer to the hot water cycle and dumped in everything that was in the white portion of the laundry sorter…including a wayward red towel. So, yes, when I came back to my washer I realized that I had dyed a whole load of white laundry pink. I have never, ever [...]

I Simply Must Know (or This Is a Desperate Cry For Help From Fashion-Challenged Little Old Me!)

Is it tacky to wear a black dress to a wedding? How ’bout if the bridesmaids are wearing black? I have been dress hunting for a wedding that we will be attending in June, and oh, it has been dreadful! Everything is either too short, too low cut, or too expensive. The first dress I [...]

Oh, And Thank You!

Thank you to all of you that commented on my post about books for my six almost-seven year old! We tried Junie B, and the kids just weren’t that into her; they were a bit annoyed by her antics – oddly enough. But there were SO many great suggestions that we’ll be busy reading all [...]
