Group Writing Project: Favorite Smells
August 29, 2008 – 8:18 pm
After writing a previous post about My favorite smells, I began to wonder what your favorite smells are. In an effort to find out, I decided to start a monthly group writing project. I got this idea from Robert Hruzek’s “What I Learned From” series of blog posts at Middle Zone Musings, who assigns a [...]
Craziest Hour of the Day
August 28, 2008 – 10:13 pm
Here is my crazy hour for the day. I’m glad there was only one!! Candice was quite fussy this morning, so I ended up putting her in her bed to cry safely while I mixed some infant oatmeal for her. As I was beginning on the oatmeal mix, an orange soda that had been calmly [...]

August 23, 2008 – 10:06 pm
A couple of weeks ago, I talked about Peter’s dislike of getting his ear’s wet and the fact that he had never voluntarily put his head under water. Well, on Sunday, August 10, he and Anna voluntarily put their heads under water for Jesus to let the whole world know what took place in each [...]
Toddler Miracle Diet
August 17, 2008 – 10:40 pm
A friend from church sent me this “diet” for toddlers. I’m not sure I would describe most 2 year olds as trim; mine’s a bit on the chubby side, but, of course, that is cute (and expected) on a 2 year old. I am also not quite sure about that sucker that was eaten on [...]
Land, Time, Land!

Me: Anna, go put your pajamas on. Anna: It’s already time for pajamas? Me: Yes Anna: Land, time, land? me (with raised eyebrows): what? Anna: Land, time, land. Time is flying, and I want it to land.
