Acrostic Ice Breaker
May 29, 2009 – 10:42 pm
Luke suggested a cool idea for getting your brain to cooperate while writing a blog post. The idea is to choose a word and make an acrostic for it. It is interesting how much you can get to know a person this way. I had fun writing this acrostic about a sweater and hope that [...]
A Story Worth Reading
April 24, 2009 – 11:49 pm
My husband recently began a story on his blog. It is worth reading and will probably have you on the edge of your seat, waiting for what is next. So head on over there, and check it out. I think he might have a book in him somewhere. Part I Part II Part III

A New Favorite Movie
March 21, 2009 – 10:03 pm
I watched a particular movie today for the second time, and I now believe it may be one of the best movie I have ever seen! Of course, part of that may be due to the fact that it is a Christian movie that gives much praise to God! The name of the movie is [...]
Air Hockey Tournament
March 20, 2009 – 11:52 pm
Since we are babysitting for friends at their house, and they have an air hockey table, we decided to have an air hockey tournament for family night tonight. We had 9 participants, ranging in age from 5 to 31. Now I know that sounds unfair, but we all had fun, even when we were losing. [...]
One Man Show

This video was screaming to be posted even though I have no idea what they are saying. So, if they say anything inappropriate, please forgive me. After the video is over, click here to find out how you can help the people of China in their pursuit of freedom (uhm, to make it possible for [...]
Randomly Generated Blogging
March 16, 2009 – 11:51 pm
Looking for a quick and easy blog post? Karen Swim introduced me to something called Lazy Bloggers Post Generator. Here is what I came up with using this blogging method. Peter Pan! I just had a cup of tea and realized I have not updated this since you last visited… You would not believe how [...]
Favorite for February
March 6, 2009 – 11:29 pm
Luke and I decided to post our favorite February blog posts tonight. Because I am having a hard time choosing just one (as usual), I am posting two.Which would you have chosen? Real Love Candy and Snow
A Hearty Wordle
February 21, 2009 – 3:28 pm
Wordles can get addictive. I just did another with a love theme from I Corinthians 13. I think it is cool that it took a random shape very similar to a heart!
Tabetha's Wordles
February 18, 2009 – 11:38 pm
Luke introduced me to a cool site tonight called wordles.net. Look at my wordles!! The first one is of my blog, and the second is from John 15:1-17. Isn’t my husband’s wordle cool? Wanna make one? or two? or ten?
How Smart is Your Brain?
February 16, 2009 – 11:23 pm
Since Anna has finished her science book, and we still have 3 or 4 months of school left, we decided to let her choose the topics that interested her most from her book and research them online. Today’s topic was the eye. We found a really cool site that teaches about how your eye has [...]
A Snowman With Personality
January 10, 2009 – 10:59 pm
During our last snowfall, the kids and I built a snowman together. I rolled the bottom ball, Anna rolled the middle one, and Peter rolled the head. Phillip busied himself dusting snow off the van (not sure why, but he was more interested in that than the snowman). Luke agreed to help stack the three [...]
Christmas 2008
December 25, 2008 – 10:30 pm
Tonight we had our family Christmas time and then we got to spend the rest of the day with two other families from church. We don’t seem to get the opportunity to get together often just to enjoy each other’s company, so today was a big treat! We ate finger foods, played board games, and [...]
Premature Family Night
December 4, 2008 – 9:50 pm
We are having family night a day early this week because Luke was sick and thought a movie sounded good. Since we had already gotten library movies for Family Night, we decided it was a go. We started out with a Christmas chain to help the kids know how many days until Christmas without asking [...]
Five Stones
November 24, 2008 – 10:56 pm
While visiting with friends from Singapore last week, we were introduced to a new game similar to jacks. It is called Five Stones. It is a fun game that can be played with stones or can easily be made. The game would be a cool gift idea this season. It could also save you money [...]
Walking on Water (Almost)
November 11, 2008 – 8:44 pm
Mom Unplugged wrote a post about a cornstarch and water mixture that has a wet, yet very solid consistency. She called it “oobleck” from Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss. I have to admit that when I saw the mess made with this project on Mom UnPlug’s post, I didn’t think it was worth [...]
Which is the Turkey?
November 9, 2008 – 10:32 pm
Luke worked really hard to make this pinata look like a real turkey. He did a good enough job that he convinced a friend’s chocolate lab hunting dog that it was real. We had quite a battle with the dog while getting these pictures. If you look close on the second picture, you will see [...]
Making Pinatas – Part 4
November 8, 2008 – 10:24 pm
If you haven’t read parts 1, 2, or 3 yet, feel free to go catch up before (or after) you continue. If you don’t like ketchup with your blogs, just continue reading. When we were making the pinatas, we put on many many layers because we were afraid the home made pinatas might not be [...]
Making Pinatas: Part 3
November 5, 2008 – 2:04 pm
Here is a short video I took while the family was working on pinatas. Peter really enjoyed the newspaper strips while Phillip liked just standing there cutting up newspaper. Anna was very hands on. At different times she tore newspaper, wet strips with flour paste, and placed the wet pieces on the balloons. Even though, [...]
Making Pinatas – Part 2
November 3, 2008 – 11:57 pm
Today I will show you pictures of the newspaper strips, wetting the strips with a paste of flour & water, and putting the strips on the balloon. The kids seemed to have a blast with every step of the pinata-making, but it was most obvious with the newspaper strips! If you missed Making Pinatas Part [...]
Miscellaneous Monday 2008-10-27
October 27, 2008 – 3:48 pm
I had a lot of short but interesting bits of news that I wanted to share. Because not everyone who reads my blog also follows me on twitter, I decided to put them all in one “miscellaneous” blog post. Maybe I can make this a Monday tradition. Shopping When I lived in Nashville, I shopped [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Over-Eggsaggerated Eggsact Eggsplanation
June 22, 2008 – 10:54 pm
I have noticed recently that our family was suddenly eating more eggs during breakfast than we used to. I was not sure what the eggsact eggsplanation for this was, but I thought maybe our kids had a bigger appetite than they used to. Yesterday while scrambling eggs, I found out the (almost) eggsact reason. Here [...]

There is a blog party going on for moms at 5 Minutes for Mom. This is a great way to get more traffic to your blog and make friends with other bloggers. And, hey, if you win a cool prize in that process, that’s even better! To find out how to get in on this [...]

OK. I know that is not the main point of his post, but it is cool! Before you watch the video click on Seth’s first link or click here. It will make more sense that way. By the way, isn’t that a cool blender?!
