Your Life, Your Blog 1-4-10
Wow! It’s weird writing ‘10 in a date already. Well, I started to feel bad last year because I kept running out of time to read all the posts that were linked to my weekly blog carnival! I felt like I was being a bad host in a way, but now I miss reading, commenting, [...]
When a Friend Expects Your Secrecy.. But You Think Someone Else Needs to Know
I’ve been writing about my experience with a trusted friend, whom I felt had betrayed my trust. Read the first post, “The Kindred Spirit Friend,” and the second, “The Trust Factor: Broken“
Please forgive me if this posts starts like one of those personality quizzes in Seventeen Magazine!
So here’s the scenario:
Your very close friend shares [...]
The Trust Factor: Broken
I’ve been writing about my experience with a “Kindred Spirit” friend. Read the first post here if you haven’t yet.
This post is going to sound sort of negative. Well, it pretty much IS negative. I don’t share this to sound like a victim or to complain, I was in the wrong, too. But to [...]
Do You Have a "Kindred Spirit" Friend?
Have you ever had the kind of friend that you could go to with anything? When the feelings bubble up from where you’ve stuffed them, when you’re angry, when you’re feeling catty, even when you know you’re wrong, you can share them with this friend. She will listen with a grain of salt. [...]
True Choices, True Hope
I believe it is so important that women (and men) have thorough information when faced with an unplanned pregnancy. They need Grace, Love and Truth, along with support if they decide to carry their child to term. I have been touched by several young moms who have decided to raise their babies, or [...]
She Chose Life
In honor of “Sanctity of Human Life Sunday,” I am reposting this entry from August 2007. There are several touching comments on the original post, as well.
Today, I had to go to the local courthouse. Don’t get all excited, I did not get arrested, nor get a speeding ticket, thankfully. I just had to [...]
Getting Your Kids to Sort Laundry is Easier Than You Think
I used to spend so much time sorting laundry right before putting it in the washer. Having all the laundry together meant that I couldn’t just take out one load, I had to go through it all to find the Whites, Lights, and Darks. When we moved into our new house, I decided [...]
Mom Profile:The Work-Outside-the-Home Mom
Mom Profiles:
The “Don’t-Stay-at-Home Mom“
The Work-at-Home Mom
The Work-Outside-the-Home Mom
It’s been interesting to hear the responses from my “Mom Profile” posts. It seems we moms are not one homogeneous group! Each category of mothering has its unique joys and challenges. Sometimes it helps to step into another mom’s shoes for a while, and consider [...]
Back on the Budget Bandwagon
Oh the budget roller-coaster! Each time we get one we can work with, circumstances change, and it’s back to the drawing board!
We had a pretty good budget going last year while we were renting. We stayed with it, but weren’t able to save anything. Then we moved into our new house (after [...]
Things I Love Right Now
1. The gleam of the sun on new-fallen snow.
2. Spending so much time with my children over Christmas vacation.
3. My wonderful husband, who has been working so hard on household projects lately.
4. My two-year-old singing “Jesus Loves Me” to her favorite refrigerator magnet.
5. Not having any schedules to keep, nor anywhere to be today!
What do [...]
