I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving Day yesterday! I know I did. It was a good day spent with some of my husband’s family at our home. Day 23 -I am thankful for my oldest daughter. She is growing up into such a sweet young lady. I’m happy that she wants to learn …
Last year I came up with an idea. I’m sure it’s not original to me, and I’ve actually seen several variations of this basic idea lately. But I wanted our Thanksgiving dinner to be about more than just food and family. Not that those aren’t good things. But I wanted to make sure that we …
Ahem. Well, I think I’m getting worse and worse! Here are 4 things I’m thankful for: Day 19 Freedom to homeschool–I can’t imagine what our lives would be like without homeschooling. My husband and I began seriously considering homeschooling when my oldest child was about 2. Praise God we can have control over our children’s …
Workaholic Randy Simpkins (Dean Cain) is preparing for a much needed vacation with his wife Christal and their 3 sons. Somehow as they are loading the van to leave, their youngest son, 2 year old Joe, disappears. Their initial minor annoyance turns to gut-wrenching fear as police and search crews arrive to comb the acres …
Here I am again being grateful for 3 days at a time! For some reason I haven’t felt especially like blogging this week. I don’t know why exactly. I haven’t been particularly busy, just kind of blah feeling. I guess I need the gratitude challenge more than I realized! Day 16 – November 16 was …

Today (and yesterday) I am thankful for cuddles in my bed with my 4 year old daughter. Right now I am thankful for both my in-laws, who are taking all of my kids out to dinner tonight, and my husband, who is taking me out to dinner…. somewhere else!
Today I am thankful for books: real, solid, hold them in your hands, books. Not that I don’t appreciate technology, but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to enjoy reading from an e-reader the same way that I do a book. This year I’ve set a goal of reading 52 books in 52 weeks. …
Today I am grateful for tiny baby wiggles. I never tire of feeling a baby move. (OK, well maybe sometimes in the middle of the night.) But it is so reassuring to know that my unborn little one is safe and well.
