A few weeks ago, I posted my review of The Way Home, a DVD about the day 2 year-old Joe Simpkins got lost. Very shortly afterwards, I was contacted by Randy Simpkins, the real-life father of Joe Simpkins. He liked my review, but offered me the opportunity to read the book to help clear up …
1. Enjoying the winter’s first snow (from inside!) 2. Getting crafty with my daughter. She made one of these Snowy Balloon Ornaments and we spent Saturday afternoon making these Holiday Card Ornaments. 3. Reading (I’m up to 48 books completed this year!) I’ve got a review I need to write too. 4. Making these yummy …
I can’t believe that it’s the last day of November! I know it’s cliche, but this year has really flown by. I have to admit that I am feeling rather grumpy this morning, so I need this gratitude challenge more than ever! Day 27 – I have been spending a lot of my time preparing …
I remember a friend of mine trying to explain The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to me when I was around 9 or 10. At that point, I had never heard of the books, and they really didn’t sound that interesting to me. But several years later, my parents bought them for me to …
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 …

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 …
OK, so maybe I’m not quite meeting this challenge in the way it was intended. I am supposed to think of something every day that I’m grateful for. But over the weekend, I was grateful to not spend much time on the computer, thus no posts from me! But I will still think of 3 …
