It’s that time of year again, friends! Time to go blueberry picking at Bailey’s Berry Patch! This year, we invited our scout friends to join us for a day of “berry†delicious fun! We loaded up the car with kids, coolers, and cold water bottles, slathered on the sunscreen, and made the hour-long trek to… Continue reading Camp Mom: Week 3

Deported!
Back in November, Matt was assimilated. He was implanted with a “power port” which would be used to administer the chemo drugs. We know it was really a Borg device that would be used to download the intelligence of the collective and speed the process of turning Matt into a Borg drone. Somehow, despite the… Continue reading Deported!
Book Review: The Train To Estelline
Well, I finally made it out of the church library! No, seriously, I have enjoyed the last two books I’ve read from there, but now I’ve got a whole huge stack of books from the public library sitting by my bed. And somehow I’ve got to read at least a few of those as well.… Continue reading Book Review: The Train To Estelline
It’s a Dog’s Life
We had the most interesting experience last Saturday. The Allen Public Library was having a storytime. So what’s so interesting about that, you ask? Well, it has to do with who was doing the reading…and who was being read to. Or rather, what was being read to. Our kids were doing the reading. That’s not… Continue reading It’s a Dog’s Life
Threads of Gratitude: Coat of Many Colors Edition
This week, I have been involved in a music camp of a different sort. The participants are a little older than last week’s, and the content is certainly more challenging in many ways. It’s the annual elementary-age music camp, and this year they’re doing Joseph: A STOMP Musical. And as I’ve gone through this week,… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Coat of Many Colors Edition
Camp Mom: Week 2
Just because I don’t have enough on my plate each week, and just because I am such an overachiever who can’t seem to get enough, I scheduled a patrol outing for the same week we are doing our elementary music camp at church…and unfortunately, the same day I was scheduled for jury duty. But we’ll… Continue reading Camp Mom: Week 2
Cookin’ on the Beach: Super Summer Suppers!
In the spirit of outdoor cooking, I give you this recipe for awesome ribs. Matt tried grilling ribs for the first time last week, and they were wonderful! I can assure you, this recipe comes with two thumbs up from our kids. Two very greasy, sticky, messy thumbs up. And mom approves this as a… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Super Summer Suppers!
Happy Father’s Day!
My kids have a great dad. They have a dad who loves them, who plays with them, and who is interested in knowing them. They have a dad who cares about them, who asks how their day was at school, and who listens to their answers. They have a dad who takes care of their… Continue reading Happy Father’s Day!
Book Review: Flabbergasted
I’m on a roll. This was the second book I checked out from the church library. And – while it wasn’t as good as Sisterchicks I did enjoy it. The storyline centers on a young man – Jay Jarvis – who has just moved cross-country from Texas to South Carolina for his job. Being a… Continue reading Book Review: Flabbergasted
Threads of Gratitude: Rocks in my Pocket Edition
Well, this week has been one “Rockin’” week, that’s for sure! And there’s been so much to be grateful for that I almost don’t know where to start. So I’m going to do something a little different. I’m going to focus my threads of gratitude this week on our Bible verse that we’ve been teaching… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Rocks in my Pocket Edition
