Thought I’d share – for any sports fans out there – that there is now a new site where you can get awesome sports products – such as prints and woven things like throws, wall hangings, pillows, and totes – featuring your favorite college or pro team. Check out Klassic Prints for prints of originals done by Greg Gamble.
I wrote here: Dr. Tom Malone, Sr. is gone a brief note about Dr. Tom Malone’s death. His wife, Dr. Joyce Malone, joined him in Heaven on Friday morning, November 6.
I had a coupon for $3 off these. Since that made the package about 30 cents cheaper than my usual (“Parent’s Choice” – aka Walmart brand) diapers (although the package contained 5 fewer diapers), I decided to give them a try. I am sorely disappointed in the quality of these “name-brand” diapers. By morning, my daughter’s bottom is covered with […]
He has such cute pronunciations! His “pr” comes out “cr” and his “br” comes out “gr” … so his paintings are “cretty” (pretty) and he might have used the color “grown” (brown)… too cute! 🙂
I found out today that most of the “confirmed” cases of H1N1 – aren’t. MOST places are testing for influenza, and if it tests positive for Type A (the most common), they are ASSUMING H1N1 (which is a SUBSET of Type A, and NOT as common), instead of being *sure*. Therefore, the numbers they are reporting ARE NOT ACCURATE. Just […]
Here’s the bulk of the letter I used to update the grandparents this month: Sarah Ruth has grown taller, and her feet easily reach the floor when she’s in her walker now. We even had to move it up a notch! She’s also working hard at trying to crawl. She has started babbling “Mamamamama” but it seems to translate to […]
No, I’m not taking anatomy lessons. I’m doing research based on issues that have cropped up here. First, a few years ago, I learned about how the gall bladder works – its function in the body. I found that the gall bladder is to the body what the oil filter is to a car, and bile is to the gall […]
In a previous post, I mentioned that Rachel had been doing a lot of crocheting, and the photo associated was one of her creations – a horse. We decided to enter it in the county fair in September. It won the blue ribbon! And $5 🙂
I am reading a book about homeschooling, in which it talks about learning the learning style of one’s students (children). So I found several quizzes online to help discover these, and on one of them (though it typifies all of them, pretty much), my result was: Your result for Howard Gardner’s Eight Types of Intelligence Test … Linguistic 14% Logical, […]
Sarah is now TWENTY pounds, at 5.5 months! Wow!!
I do update letters for the grandparents, and it just occurred to me that I could post them here, too. Don’t know why I didn’t think of it before. So here goes! It’s time for another update! 🙂 Sarah Ruth is 5 months old already! She is sitting well, though she still can’t get herself into a sitting position. She […]
I read somewhere that self-control is “knowing I can, but choosing NOT to.” I think this is a very good definition! That said, I have been sorely lacking in self-control as it relates to healthy diet. I have a touchy gall bladder (although it really isn’t, if I eat properly), and have recently been choosing to enjoy fatty sweets (my […]
Of course, I have good reason! Sarah Ruth is now a little over 3 months old and prefers to be upright, which means someone has to hold her, and I usually take care of that job 😉 John Luke is also needing more supervision these days, as he, at 3.5, has decided he can do all kinds of things, and […]
I may not agree with the attitude showing in some of these, but the sentiment is valid! The Bitter Homeschooler’s Wish List by Deborah Markus, from Secular Homeschooling, Issue #1, Fall 2007 1 Please stop asking us if it’s legal. If it is — and it is — it’s insulting to imply that we’re criminals. And if we were criminals, […]
Really… but I’m behind again. Sarah is nearly 4 weeks now and doing great! She is gaining well, eating well, sleeping well. We all love her! I am losing weight! I’ve always heard that it’s easier to lose after having a baby – especially when nursing – but never experienced it until now. I’m down to 204 last I weighed.. […]
Our newest daughter, Sarah, was born 3/27 at 5:19pm. She weighed in at 10 pounds, 1 ounce, and was 22″ long. We are delighted with her! You can see pictures in the gallery and on her page 🙂
For about a week now, I’ve been wanting barbecue ribs. A few days ago, we bought some beef ribs and some barbecue sauce, but they just weren’t *right*. Today while my husband was at Walmart, he noticed that the deli now makes barbecue ribs! He bought some and brought them home. THEY really hit the spot!! Delicious!!
I was thinking about drawers and what wonderful/awful things they are. See, a shelf that is 1‘x4’ gives you 4 square feet of “stuff space”… but a DRAWER that is 1‘x4′(x1’) gives you 4 CUBIC feet of “stuff space” … usually at least DOUBLES what you can fit in there. It’s a great thing for a packrat like me! (And, […]
I had a dr appt today (see Sarah’s page), after six hours of 4-minutes-apart contractions… with no real progress. I comfort myself that I can at least get more done around here, and it won’t be more than four more weeks, for sure!
Happy birthday to my friend Cheryl, wherever she is 🙂 One day, maybe she’ll see this.
