Today is our eleventh wedding anniversary. We were married at noon on a snowy day. Eight months before, we had just met on America Online. But we knew it was meant to be. We had a lovely wedding and it was a happy day in every way. Eleven years ago I could not have predicted …
Did you watch week two with Northanger Abbey? After what we experienced last week, my expectations were much lower. However, I was pleasantly surprised. First of all, I would love to know if that was the intro they had already taped with Gillian Anderson or if they redid it after all the bad reviews last …
I’ve never seen this done before or written about, but thought I would ask. Does anyone put their toddler to bed at night with books and let him/her fall asleep reading? Caroline has a very good nap routine now. She is consistently in her bed reading every afternoon for about 20-30 minutes and then falls …
If you watched the first installment last night, Persuasion, what did you think? Here is my brief summary. What happened to Gillian Anderson in the intro? She looked stiff and ghoulish. What was wrong with her mouth? I didn’t like the frantic and modern camera work on the movie. I can’t stand all the random …
I was ironing this morning and David was reading a book to Caroline. As part of reading the book, David said, “We’ll have to fly kites someday.” That got me to thinking about what other kinds of things Caroline should experience while she is a child. I thought it would fun to have everyone share …
I blog about the things I think about. And based on some of my recent entries I’m sure it has been obvious that I’ve been thinking about the role of women in the church. Katy asked me if I would share a bit more about this and so I’m going to. The Role of Women …
Yes, we are still in full holiday mode around our home. We are also busy, busy, busy with work and clients. If you’ve been reading here for a while you know that this is a VERY WELCOME change. We’re just so glad to be busy with the business because things were pretty slow for months …
First off, I apologize if this is a little rambly and disjointed. I know a topic like this should be polished and such, but right now posting it as is is the best I can do. 🙂 I mentioned yesterday that we are probably going to baptize Caroline. I knew this would probably come as …
This afternoon I had an epiphany about my experience as a mom of an only child. I was rocking Caroline in her room, giving her a bottle before her nap. I was thinking about how big she was in my lap (97th percentile for length) and that while she meets all of her milestones within …
Since I haven’t received any reader questions lately I thought I would go ahead and throw out my own. One of my recent posts provoked a few comments about the difficulty of raising children, but that it does get better. So that got me thinking. What age do you think is the easiest to parent? …
Last week we decided we finally had to change our internet and email hosting. We had had spam and connectivity issues for many months, but just never had the time (or made the time) to get it done. Finally it got to the point where even if David didn’t have time to deal with it, …
It isn’t the diapers. It isn’t the spit up. (Caroline rarely did this anyway.) It isn’t anything food or feeding related. What truly wigs me out is when Caroline DRINKS THE BATHWATER. She’s just started doing this recently since we bought her a new bath toy. It is this kitchen sink thing with all these …
