About a year ago, I happened across Eloise Wilkin Stories (Little Golden Book Treasury). I immediately bought it and tucked it away on the shelf in Caroline’s room until she was old enough to enjoy it. I brought it out last week when we purchased a couple of other Little Golden Books and Caroline was …
I know this is something a lot of people have been talking about, but I still have to write about it! Pampers just went up 10% this past week ($2/box). Half and half went up 10%. Those are the two I can think of right off the top of my head. When I get done …
Don’t you love a happy ending? Sigh. The ending of Pride and Prejudice is wonderful. What Darcy does for Elizabeth is such a beautiful picture of redemption. I love how we see a completely different side of Darcy as it is slowly revealed through the various scenes how much he loves Elizabeth and the lengths …
So this week we enjoyed the middle section of Pride and Prejudice. Any thoughts, especially from those who has never seen this production? Is there anyone out there experiencing this for the first time – never seen an adaptation or read the novel? I do want to ask this: Why all the fuss about the …
It was interesting to read the various thoughts people had when I asked if anyone else had a guess what The Next Big Thing might be in Christian blogging. No one guessed the same thing I’m thinking of, but I found some of the responses really interesting. Anyway, for what it is worth, here is …
I didn’t grow up in a denomination that followed the Lenten tradition of giving something up for the season. I think I might have done it once, but that’s it. I did decide to give up something this year. Sugar drinks, specifically pop and coffee drinks. Now this might not be a big deal to …
I did sit and watch Pride and Prejudice Sunday evening despite the fact that I own the DVD and have already seen it, um, many times. But I did some mending while I watching it and that’s how I justified it. My first comment is regarding what I feel was a stupid move made by …
A number of times in the past sixteen months, Sallie and I have talked about some topic relating to being a dad and she says, “you should do a guest post about that”. Judging by the last guest post I wrote here, you can see that it hasn’t happened in the past sixteen months. This …
Confession time. I turned Miss Austen Regrets off about halfway through and watched the very interesting end of the Super Bowl instead. I honestly tried to watch this, but it simply did not capture my attention. I didn’t like the actresses playing the main characters, didn’t like the dialog, didn’t care for the camera work, …
One of the greatest dangers of the blogging world is the temptation to compare ourselves to other women. Although I think all women compare themselves to others to some degree, I think it can be an especially insidious problem for Christians. Not only are we supposed to look good, have a fabulously decorated home, and …
Here’s my short take on Mansfield Park. I liked it. Liked it much better than Persuasion, but not as much as Northanger Abbey. I didn’t especially care for Billie Piper as Fanny Price. As David said, she just looked too contemporary in the part and didn’t seem to visually fit into the story. I think …
Does your life reflect what you say is important? Three years ago, I posted this entry on my blog. The parts in bold I have bolded today. One of the most interesting experiences in my early study of simplicity was participating in The Pierce Simplicity Study. Linda Breen Pierce was doing research for a book …
