Last month’s groups writing project went well, so I decided to go for a 2nd round. This time I would like you to take a trip down digital memory lane and choose your favorite picture(s) that you took of nature and post them on your blog or link to them. After you choose your picture(s) [...]

Twitter Tweets
September 29, 2008 – 10:19 pm
Twitter is a relatively new thing for me. I have been doing it for quite awhile, but I am just now really learning how to use it and enjoy it. Luke has shown me how to mark my favorites, and since he did not post from twitter on Sunday Snippets like he usually does, this [...]
Laughing Twins
September 27, 2008 – 9:15 pm
Every once in a while I go on youtube to look for something funny. I usually end up watching a video with kids or animals because I don’t tend to appreciate adult humor (and kids and animals make the funnies innocent mistakes!). I guess I’m around kids enough that the things that make them laugh [...]
Candice at 8 Months
September 26, 2008 – 11:55 pm
I decided it was high time I gave a little update on Candice. She has been crawling for just over a month and has now mastered pulling up. She is also really beginning to babble and is getting big enough to enjoy playing with and getting “irritated by” (Phillip’s version of “entertained by”) her siblings. [...]
Professional Portraits (sort of)
September 25, 2008 – 11:02 pm
Back in 2004, around the time we went on a trip to Niagara Falls, we decided to stop doing professional portraits of our children and make our own with a digital camera. Recently I posted the pictures of our older four children, but Candice slept through most of the photo shoot. So, we tried again [...]
I'm Sorry I'm Sorry
September 14, 2008 – 10:17 pm
Somehow it seems to be a part of my personality to say “sorry,” even when it is not necessary. I think it started out when I realized that I could say it when someone was in a bad circumstance. Of course, I meant that I was sorry the person was experiencing a hard time. Eventually [...]
Me? A Damsel in Distress?
September 11, 2008 – 11:32 pm
For some reason I do not like to come across as a damsel in distress. I am not sure why. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I was a tomboy during my childhood years. Yesterday at the grocery store, I was only getting a few things, so I did not get [...]
Which is Best?
September 9, 2008 – 11:07 pm
Luke asked me in a blog post to choose my favorite post. Unfortunately this posed a teeny problem for me. I could not choose! So here is a list of my top 10, plus a “few” runners up. Which one do you think should be my top post? Top 10 Mom Can’t Use a Hammer [...]
Results of Favorite Smells Group Writing Project
September 8, 2008 – 10:25 pm
When I read some of your “Favorite Smells” lists, my mind was refreshed to some favorite smells I overlooked in my list. Em reminded me that I like the smell of freshly shampooed hair. The funny thing is, I never smell my own hair. It is usually on of my kids when they sit next [...]
Healthy Learning
September 2, 2008 – 10:27 pm
Today marks day 2 of our home school year. I was in a crunch today, so I had Anna read her Health book out loud to Peter. Because they are going through a fighting stage (I hope), I walked out of the room thinking “yeah, right. That’s really going to go well!” When I walked [...]
Tabetha's Tidbit: Where to Park?
September 1, 2008 – 9:57 pm
It seems to be common among shoppers to drive around the parking lot looking for a space close to the store to save steps, but unless you are only buying a few things, parking close to the store does not actually save steps. Let’s say you get the very first parking space that is not [...]
