Love Them As Much As We Can

Last updated on: June 12, 2012 at 7:47 pm By Mary Alice

By now Kat is in the hospital, beginning to prepare for the birth of her dear baby Annie, who will be going to Heaven too soon. Some friends are en route to Houston to be with the family. I am at home, 39 weeks pregnant, doing my 6th load of laundry of the day. How can I respond? Read more

Please Pray

Last updated on: June 10, 2012 at 9:25 pm By Kellie "Red"

Tomorrow, Mr. Red and I are making the trip to Texas to be with Katrina and her family as they meet their precious baby Annie. Please pray for our trip, and the trips of all their family members and friends who are traveling to meet Annie. And please, please keep praying for Katrina and her family. Pray for them tomorrow as they anticipate Annie’s birth. Pray for them on Tuesday the 12th, the date Annie will likely arrive. And then... Read more

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

Last updated on: June 8, 2012 at 8:05 pm By Juris Mater

I have noticed a transformation in strangers’ interest in our family, now that I’m very visibly 7 months pregnant with #5. When we had 3 under 3, I felt cut down by the “you have your hands full” comments. Yes, jerk, I sure do, why don’t you hold the door for us rather than reminding me how overwhelmed I am. These days, though, people really want to talk about it when we’re out and about. It’s more like: “Wow, are... Read more

5 A Day for Summer

Last updated on: June 7, 2012 at 7:26 am By Mary Alice

For homeschoolers, it can be hard to decide when the school year begins and ends, but because we live in a way that is very interconnected with our school-schooled friends and neighbors, we have found that found that for our household it makes the most sense to begin in September and end in June each year. This does not mean, however, that there is no structure or learning going on in the summer. In fact, I think that summer is... Read more

Father’s Day Ideas

Last updated on: June 7, 2012 at 7:04 am By texasmommy

One of the areas where I think (my) homeschooling lacks is some of those adorable preschool crafty things. So when I saw this printable survey on Dad from Persnickety Prints, I thought it would be perfect for the kids to fill out with minimal effort from me! Oh. My. Goodness. The answers are hysterical!!! I would share them, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise! And now a brief guest post & gift idea from the wonderful Mr. Texas... Read more

I Have a Date

Last updated on: June 12, 2012 at 7:55 pm By Katrina

On June 12th, 2012, I have a very important date. This is the day that I will get to meet my daughter, Annie Rose, and also the day that I will most likely be saying good-bye to her. I am joyful and anxious, excited and sad; the day will be bittersweet. It will be a big day for Annie – she will get to meet her daddy, her big brother and sisters, her Oma and Opa, and many wonderful friends... Read more

Are E-thanks enough?

Last updated on: June 1, 2012 at 6:22 am By Bethany "B-mama"

These days we are a culture of instant gratification and I am admittedly part of that culture. Please don’t question the Zappos.com App on my iPad. I swear the site has gotten at least a thousand more hits since early May when I began round-the-clock nursing. Who doesn’t love shoe shopping at 2am to stay awake? Please don’t sneer at the packages on my doorstep for everything from first communion gifts to some new summer dresses that are cool, forgiving,... Read more

10 Ways to Make your “trip” more like a Vacation

Last updated on: May 31, 2012 at 7:27 pm By Mary Alice

A long time ago, my friend Mary Ellen wrote about how traveling with a family is a “trip” and not a “vacation.” This was an “ah-ha” moment for me, because it helped me to change my expectations and to understand why I was so exhausted after vacations! In an ideal world, I think, everyone needs a little bit of vacation, but for most couples it is hard to get away without the kids. This weekend, we took what was most... Read more
