Taking a stand.
I am posting this (below) directly from a Worldnet Daily Article – you can read the rest there. I am, and — you should — if at all possible, take a stand. I don’t very often make the bold statement to boycott things/companies — companies like McDonald’s who, for example, for personal – anti family […]...

What’s for dinner? And more questions.
Every day… every day… day after day, there’s the dilemma: what’s for dinner? Or… for many, the daily questions are more like: What’s for breakfast? When’s coffee? What’s for lunch? What’s for snack? What’s for dinner? Where’s the chocolate for me? Here are a few dinner recipes and you might also want to print up […]...

my fiftieth year
Have I done a-n-y-thing… really?
Have you ever asked that question? Have you ever been in a valley and wondered what in the world you’ve accomplished in life – or if the things you’ve done have any lasting value? As I was praying and going to sleep the other night, I asked the LORD about the value of time and […]...

Motherhood
It takes a mama…
I don’t get out much… some, but not much. And, for the most part, I like it that way. O, don’t get me wrong: I love to go places, I love to do things and I love to see new things. But I love being home. When I do go out… I sure see why […]...

Another first day of school
I woke up this morning with eager anticipation for the day: our 21st “first day of homeschool.” In the early days of homeschooling, I would not have even guessed where we would be today — in terms of both where we’ve been or how many children have been taught at the table. I could […]...

Okay, so…
this is funny… I was browsing the news and the headline: “Is Oprah Biased?” jumped out at me. I just had to laugh. The question was asked by an ABC News journalist. I think my mama would have said: “well, now, that’s like the pot calling the kettle black.” Well, or I would say that. […]...
