Yesterday afternoon, I “introduced” Noah to a bunch of toys he hadn’t played with since he discovered the “joys” of the DVD player and Netflix Instant Queue, not to mention the Wii. He went nuts, and I had to put new batteries in a very annoying truck that makes obnoxious sounds when you push buttons, …

Do you know about Rebecca Black? She is this young girl whose mother paid $4,000 to a vanity video/music producer so Rebecca could record and make a video for this song called “Friday.” You can’t see the video anymore on YouTube, but it went viral because a lot of people think it’s the worst song …
We’re doing Vacation Bible School at our church this week and as always, I am the Drama Leader. I get to ham it up and act totally loony all in the name of Jesus. I absolutely love it. Of course, I’m exhausted when I get home and this year I’ve taken a pain pill each …
Some of my friends know that I love to sew. I mean, LOVE to sew. I had actually forgotten how much until this weekend. Our house has this HUGE rec room (30 x 24) and roughly half of is has been taken over by my craft stuff. This includes an old dining room table I …
I picked up my son from soccer camp today. He’s been going there every day and will be there every morning until the end of the week. This is his third year and from all accounts, he loves it. Anyway, it’s been super hot here in Louisiana, so by the time I pick him up …

If you’ve read much of this blog, you know that I feel lost most of the time when it comes to my kids’ schools. Well, turns out that I’m apparently confused in the rest of my life, too. Every year, I sign my son up for swimming lessons at the local YMCA. He LOVES the …
As much as Microsoft is everywhere and trying as hard as possible to take over the world, my vote for Mad Scientist/Evil Overlord is Steve Jobs. Even if everyone I know seems to have an Iphone and EVERYONE on all my favorite TV shows do, I don’t. I seriously can’t afford it and the only …
I’m on our church’s VBS committee as well as doing drama every year. I love it. I love making a fool of myself for Jesus! However, the committee meetings are hard for me sometimes. I don’t know all these people. I mean, I’m getting to know some of the committee members although there are still …
I have been thrilled to see how the people at my husband’s work respect him and come to him for advice and trust him with responsibility. I was there when he was in graduate school and for years he had no self-esteem and thought he’d never get anywhere in his chosen career. It’s been a …
