Link Round Up

Last updated on: January 27, 2012 at 9:26 am By Mary Alice

One of the amazing things about this interweb is the way that our use of it seems to be constantly evolving. I thought I had things figured out pretty well there, for a while, with a blog and my email I was feeling super hip, but these days information is coming at me from so many sources it is hard to keep track of it all — and guess what — I love it! I know that it is distracting... Read more

Thoughts for Thursday

Last updated on: January 26, 2012 at 6:00 am By AWOL Mommy

What am I cooking? Last night I made a Shepherd’s Pie for a dear friend who is in the throes of morning sickness with her seventh pregnancy. I saved enough meat and frozen veggies to make us a family-size one tonight — I will just have to whip up fresh mashed potatoes for the top. I love shepherd’s pie because kids get all the food groups in each bite and the ingredients are toddler-boy-mouth-friendly. What are my weekend plans? With... Read more

Hope for Moms of Picky Eaters…

Last updated on: January 25, 2012 at 5:13 pm By Katrina

My 7 year-old son, who used to be the pickiest of eaters (he ate almost nothing in his younger years), just came home from school and ate, in one sitting: -a bowl of blueberries -bacon – 2 bananas with peanut butter -and a slice of pumpkin bread -all washed down with a glass of water He used to eat only cheerios and yogurt, and drank only milk or apple juice. We have come a long way! My theory is that... Read more

In the Heart of my Home: Our Disney Trip: Organized Packing and Playing in the Van

Last updated on: January 25, 2012 at 9:48 am By Mary Alice

In the Heart of my Home: Our Disney Trip: Organized Packing and Playing in the Van. I recommend the link above, if you are constantly planning/dreaming a disney trip in your head, as I am, but more importantly for some practical tips that apply to any family travel. When I took 4-under-3 to disney, and I knew that I would care how they looked in pictures, I put each outfit into a gallon ziplock. This way, they could grab... Read more

Is it worth it?

Pray for an End to Abortion

Last updated on: January 23, 2012 at 12:46 pm By Kellie "Red"

Please remember all those Marching for Life in Washington today. It wasn’t that many years ago that all the Builders would venture down to DC from Princeton to march and pray for an end to abortion. I confess that as a busy mother I am often willfully ignorant about the horror of abortion and the frequency of this crime in our nation. I often joke that I make my own pro-life statement every other January, giving birth to another baby!... Read more

Easy isn’t the goal

Last updated on: January 22, 2012 at 8:14 pm By Mary Alice

This article about family size has been getting a lot of comments and has appeared in my inbox from several sources. I have to admit that I haven’t even read the entire thing, nor any of the comments, because I had a sense that it would hit a raw nerve with some people. I have been thinking and praying a lot about the subject of family size, though, because I am at a new volunteer position where a lot of... Read more

Help with Bed-Wetting

Last updated on: January 20, 2012 at 7:30 am By Bethany "B-mama"

Back at one of our yearly check-ups, I can recall the doc saying, “Oh, you don’t need to worry about night-time dryness until 7.” “Whew!” was my response. We had plenty of time to get there. I thought about the potential our family might have to write a post like this, but quickly shrugged it off saying that surely by the time it was necessary to write this post, the problem would be gone and we’d be home free. Newsflash:... Read more

What am I cooking? Something with beef stew meat, diced tomatoes, an onion… Any suggestions? I am attempting to clear out my freezer this week and will be whipping up something with these ingredients in my slow cooker this morning. I am hoping a website like this one will save me–just type in the ingredients you have and it gives you a mega list of recipes that comply. Voila! Dinner served! What are my weekend plans? Princeton Alumni Interviews, baby! Saturday... Read more
