The Anti-Galante

Last updated on: September 21, 2011 at 9:53 pm By Bethany "B-mama"

Tomorrow is cleaning day in G-Ville. Awesome, amazing, wonderful, breathe-new-life-into-our-home-and-my-mothering cleaning day. I love cleaning day. It is the day I return home from the world and find my floors sparkling and shelves dusted… It is the day my shower gets a facelift and so does my cooktop. It is the day GG and I take a deep breath and sigh because life is in order for a split nanosecond; and enjoy it we will. Our wonderful cleaning team are... Read more

Taxes

Last updated on: September 21, 2011 at 4:08 pm By Katrina

With all of the recent political discussions regarding taxation, I thought it would be appropriate to share my son’s recent first experience with sales tax. Christopher had been saving his money for over half a year to buy a certain toy, and was very excited to finally go to Radio Shack to make his big purchase. After buying some batteries myself, I stood at the register and chatted with the friendly sales clerk. Christopher came up with his toy, put... Read more

Expired

Last updated on: September 19, 2011 at 6:00 pm By texasmommy

Inspired by temperatures that have dropped below 100 (and perhaps some wishful thinking), we spent the weekend cleaning closets, trying on, sorting and handing down winter clothes. I realized that our infant car seat had been in the closet for several years and a google search told me that it would have an expiration date on it. Sure enough. It expired in 2010. So what am I supposed to do with it? The internet says to cut the straps and... Read more

Remembering Rich Mullins

Last updated on: September 18, 2011 at 9:19 pm By Kellie "Red"

Hi, everyone. Today we have a guest post from my husband, “Mr. Red”: Monday marks the 14th anniversary of the death of Christian singer-songwriter Rich Mullins, who died in a car accident at the age of 41. In his honor, I’d like to share some thoughts on Rich’s music. I hope this post will motivate some of you to give Rich’s music a fresh listen, and share his music with your children. In my experience, kids love Rich’s music, and... Read more

I haven’t heard this one before

Last updated on: September 17, 2011 at 9:38 pm By Kellie "Red"

As I checked out of our local retain store, the cashier and I had the following conversation– Lady–“Wooooh, baby” as she stares at my pregnant stomach. Me–No response because I am embarrassed by her comment. Long awkward silence as I smile. Lady–“You are pregnant, right?” Me–“Yes.” Lady–“Oh, good. I was worried that you weren’t and that would have been really embarrassing.” Me–just stupefied thinking, that comment was already embarrassing, but I just smile and nod. Lady–“That’s definitely a boy in... Read more

Faith & Family : Features : Unforgiving Heart

Last updated on: September 17, 2011 at 3:38 pm By Mary Alice

Faith & Family : Features : Unforgiving Heart. Even though I can barely remember my own phone number, I have, unfortunately, instant recall of petty grievances, and so I can attest to the truth of this reflection, when you hold on to them they turn everything else negative as well. I have been working for years on embracing forgiveness, praying for help with it, and very honestly, praying just to forget some of the stupid... Read more

Products We Love: Greek Yogurt and new dual-action Lysol cleaning wipes

Last updated on: September 16, 2011 at 6:00 am By Juris Mater

Greek Yogurt, where have you been all my life? With the high energy/protein requirements of daily life these days, beginning the day with toast, cereal, or any of the usual quick breakfast options leaves me faint on the couch by 10am. Eggs are a little high maintenance and aren’t all that appetizing 7 mornings a week, and before now, yogurt didn’t quite have the protein to satisfy me. Enter nonfat Greek yogurt: one individual-sized pot has 14g of protein (the... Read more

She has run the race.

Last updated on: September 15, 2011 at 1:38 pm By Kellie "Red"

I knew Rachel in passing. She was that gorgeous, thin, well-dressed, high-energy mom that turned the heads of other moms and children alike. She taught my daughter Gianna at our homeschool co-op. She chatted about homeschooling and shopping and couponing in the hallways. She served her family and church. She was a dear friend to so many of my friends. She was full of life and love. And then I heard she was sick. Her sister Betty, a friend of... Read more
