Run with Patience

2011-01-28T12:24:00.003-05:00

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Hebrews 12:1 I have often said I don’t run unless someone is chasing me.

Book Review: Parenting by the Book

2010-05-16T20:27:00.003-04:00

Let me begin by saying, anyone who has children or works with children would do well to read this book. The principles work well for any childcare situation. It made me reevaluate my parenting as a whole and was an encouragement to follow God’s principles. Rosemond covers three areas in this book: Deception, Recovery, and Discipline. In the Great Deception, he exposes holes in modern

Monthly Menu Made Easy

2010-03-31T14:57:00.002-04:00

This year, I started making monthly menus. At first, it was scary (how will I know what I feel like eating in 4 weeks?) However, it has become such a time saver. Here are a few of my pointers.Breakfast is always cold cereal or oatmeal, unless it's a special day (sometimes on DH day off, we'll have pancakes, etc). So that doesn't go on the menu, unless we are deviating from the norm.At the

Eclectic List of Reviews

2010-03-15T11:30:00.001-04:00

I thought I would share a few, eclectic product reviews of things we’ve tried in our home lately. 1. Here is one of the weirder things I’ve tried, and a product that not too many ladies have heard of: Sally Hansen’s Airbrush legs. In other words, leg makeup, or, as I like to say, spray-on pantyhose.

I could go on all day about why I use the FireFox browser. It loads fast, seems to use less memory, doesn’t perpetuate a dependence on Microsoft. Also, you can package a small version on a thumb drive to use on any computer without installing it. It also offers some great add-ons that make browsing a lot more enjoyable.
