Butterfly Lunch Wrap
One of my personal challenges: lunch. It's easy to just serve peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, which can get tedious after a while. I'm not the most creative food person on the planet either. That said, I'm rather proud of my Butterfly Lunch Wrap. All you need is a...
Would You Like to Buy a Hug?
No really. I mean it. The Global Hug Tour is a project conceived by Gail Lynne Goodwin and her husband Darryl. I met Gail at SOBCon09 (seriously. I still have SO much material from that one conference) and she is wonderful. Gail's main blog is InspireMeToday, which...
How Much Sleep Does a Baby Need?
When you have your baby the only time you can relax and do other important things is when your baby sleeps. Sleep deprivation is very common during the first few months and it is important that you are prepared for this! You will become cranky, confused and may not...
2 Years
Two years ago today, I put up my very first blog post. It's hard to believe that I've been typing out stories and thoughts for that long, but the archives don't lie. So there you have it. Who would have thought I'd stick with something that long? I just checked and...
You May Now Call Me a Mother Hen
Apparently our little chickies are operating on a different calendar than me. Based on when we put the eggs into the incubator, they should have hatched last Thursday. Allowing for 2 days beyond that, Saturday was the last day that we could consider them viable and...
Matching the Fresh Air
I wrote about the Fresh Air Fund a few months ago. This is a really neat ministry in which inner-city kids are matched up with families who live outside the city for a summer vacation. Sara Wilson, the outreach coordinator of Fresh Air, contacted me recently with some...
City Chic
Hahaaaaa, you didn't think I was done talking about SOBCon, did you? Nope! Today I want to introduce you to a cool chick I met at the conference. Sherry blogs at CityChicOnAFarm, where she focuses on her favorite charities, her dislike of cooking, how much she likes...
Celebrating Father’s Day
I ran across a couple of Father's Day events that you may like. First, if you purchase a frosty from Wendy's anytime over Father's Day weekend (June 20-21) they will donate 50 cents from each sale to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. The money goes to a program...
I Think I Killed the Chickens
Sigh. This year in science we studied the human body, plants, and animals. SOMEone thought it would be a fantastic idea to hatch chickens as a school project. I haven't mentioned it yet because, well, I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. At this point, I'm a...
Three Things
1. I was poking around cyberspace a while back and found a site called Buzz Voice. It's a pretty neat site though, so I signed up. It's free to use. What it does is read blog posts aloud for you. Yes!! It really does. So, if you are dying to hear my posts read by a...
