It’s taken all year, but it finally was Trey’s turn to provide snacks for our Cub Scout den. So, being the overachieving den-leader-mother that I am, what snack do I choose to have him make? Rice Krispy Treats? No. As stated in an earlier post, I have yet to make those successfully. Chocolate Chip cookies? … Continue reading “Bear”-y Cute!

Threads of Gratitude: Cross-stitch sampler edition
Manic Debbi is gone. And I miss her. In her place is the girl I hate. She brings with her the baggage of the past – all those insecurities and hurts that I packed away long ago – and brings them out, one by one, and flaunts them in front of me. Reminds me that… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Cross-stitch sampler edition
American Idol: The second 12
Wow…the contestants sure are making this easy. I almost don’t even need to try! But I do need to fulfill my blogging goal, so I post anyway. Last night was another night of sub-par performances with a few shining moments thrown in for good measure. Certainly there were some who did not live up to… Continue reading American Idol: The second 12
The Rock Cries Out!
I love it when a plan comes together! Last year, I had the privilege of directing the first-ever preschool Worship & Arts summer camp at McFBC. Because we joined the church after Easter, we had a very short window of time to plan and implement the week-long camp. But despite the shortcomings, God blessed our… Continue reading The Rock Cries Out!
South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach
We’re getting closer! It’s down to 1 lb…and then I’m back at rock bottom. Hopefully THIS will be the week I can get off this plateau and get back on the losing streak! Until then, I present another tasty menu. This is so super easy…I threw it together on a whim one Saturday evening. My… Continue reading South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach
A Pleasing Sacrifice
It just doesn’t seem fair. You know, the story of Cain and Abel. Both guys work the land: Cain is a farmer and Abel is a rancher. Both guys bring a sacrifice of their labors to God. God is pleased with Abel’s but Cain’s is rejected. Why? Well, because God requires a sacrifice of blood. … Continue reading A Pleasing Sacrifice
Death of the Cave Man
Happy Valentine’s Day! Oh, I know the calendar officially says “February 20”, but that doesn’t matter to us. The kids are happily playing at a Parent’s Night Out and we have a full 5 1/2 hours before we have to pick them up. So that means we celebrate Valentines’ Day tonight! We decided to treat… Continue reading Death of the Cave Man
Threads of Gratitude: American Flag edition
This week has been nuts. Completely nuts. I feel like a whirling dervish, scurrying from one activity to another, and yet, despite the frenzy I am not totally worn out. Yet. One of the things that has got me so wired is the upcoming Blue & Gold banquet for Cub Scouts. This is the annual… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: American Flag edition
American Idol Predictions: The first 12
Our waiting has paid off…America finally gets to vote! So we have a “new” format – which is eerily similar to Season 3, so maybe not all that “new” after all – and that year turned out some great talent, so maybe that’s a prediction of what this year will bring. All I know is… Continue reading American Idol Predictions: The first 12
Dear Debily: An Advice Column
A friend of mine recently asked me for some advice. I know! ME! Advice! Whodathunkit? Anyhoo, her boss was recently diagnosed with lymphoma and I guess with my husband having cancer and all she figured I might be qualified to answer the question of how to best help show support and care during this time. … Continue reading Dear Debily: An Advice Column
