How Do You Flu?

Last updated on: January 22, 2013 at 8:57 pm By texasmommy

Most of the builders have been fighting the not very lovely flu that is sweeping the country. Kat pointed out that we may even be cyber-contagious! It has been over 4 years since we’ve had the flu and I found that I wasn’t terribly prepared. Half a bottle of kids ibuprofen, boxed chicken stock, and some juice left over from soccer season were all I had to combat the virus. I had to send my mother in law to buy... Read more

I’m a Great Mom…

Last updated on: January 23, 2013 at 6:50 am By Katrina

…In order to distract my two year-old from the brownies in the pantry, I turned on a video. There are these awesome breakfast muffins baking in the oven as I write this, but my kids are hungry and the muffins are going to be about 15 more minutes! The toddler is resorting to brownies, and the two older kids are asking for the King Cake that we had for dessert a couple of nights ago. But I made muffins, and... Read more

Healthy Banana Bread Recipe

Last updated on: January 17, 2013 at 6:03 am By Katrina

Good morning! Our family eats a lot of banana bread, so I thought I would share with you a recipe that I have come up with over the years. I’ve reduced the amount of sugar in the original recipe by half, added whole wheat flour and chia seeds* (they add a nice crunch!), as well as vanilla and cinnamon. If you have a favorite bread or muffin recipe, please share it with us in the comments section! There is nothing... Read more

Rejoice with Those Who Rejoice

Last updated on: January 14, 2013 at 3:09 pm By Katrina

“Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” Romans 12:15 Last week I went to the funeral of a young man. His mother is a friend of mine, and even though I have not seen her for some months, I felt strongly that I wanted to be at her son’s funeral. I was very sad for the family, and was moved to tears several different times throughout the funeral liturgy, especially at the end as the family processed... Read more

What this Princeton woman wanted

Last updated on: January 11, 2013 at 12:15 pm By Bethany "B-mama"

Margaret Fortney’s article “What Princeton Women Want” may take some by surprise, but not me and probably not any of us, builders! It was spring semester of my junior year at Princeton. I was taking two biology courses, one physics, an elective, writing my junior paper, preparing for a summer of senior thesis research, rowing lightweight crew, and studying for the MCAT. In many senses, I was doing too much (weren’t we all?), but in others I was forcing a... Read more

Thoughts for Thursday — Birthday Edition!

Last updated on: January 10, 2013 at 11:04 am By Kellie "Red"

This little boy is celebrating his 5th Birthday today! 5 years ago today, Augustine Daniel Miller (Gus), entered this world just before midnight. Born on what would have been his great grandfather’s 98th birthday (my grandfather only lived to 96!), we went with Daniel as a middle name in honor of my grandfather. Gus arrived after a very short labor, and he was enormous! When they put him on the scale, it read 10. 13. My husband asked, “is that... Read more

Ski Sabbatical

Last updated on: January 7, 2013 at 8:16 pm By Mary Alice

At the school where I was educated, teachers were given a sabbatical every 7 years. For a semester, with some financial support from the school, they could do something personally or professionally enriching away from the school community. The idea was that they returned to school as better educators because of the time spent away. Sometimes, they say, a change is as good as a rest. I think that teaching, and homeschooling, are prone to burn out because the demands... Read more
