We are really looking forward to starting our second season of Bible quizzing with our teens. I had never really heard of Bible quizzing before helping out my “professional” quizzing husband at quizzes during college. This program may sound a bit lame on the surface– particularly to the students’ peers. I mean, seriously? You’re joining […]
The One Where JM Works for Me
You know Jillian Michaels? Yeah? Well, I’m pretty sure she’s my bff. Ok, not really. But I do feel like I know her. Which may be kinda creepy, but you’re just going to have to deal with it. Between being a HUGE Biggest Loser fan (no pun intended), exercising with her almost every day this winter, […]
The One with the Traumatized Kitty
The cat has been relocated. He is officially a resident of our lovely little camper abode. But notice, I used no endearing terms when referring to THE cat. Nope. In this post, I am not feeling the slightest ounce of affection for this animal we so recently (officially) obtained. I was praying the hour long […]
The One with the Memorial Emotions
I was just over at Ree’s photography blog, where she was posting photos sent in under the theme “Coming Home.”There is post after post after post. I dare you to not be moved by those images. Dare you. Given the holiday weekend and the incredibly emotional response the photos garnered from yours truly, I thought […]
The One with the Tennis Volleys
Tennis. Oh, tennis. The sport that always looked so appealing. That I would love to play. But the same sport at which I could never seem to be even remotely adept. I’m not exaggerating, here, people, I stttttunk. The only redeeming aspect about the whole tennis aspirations thing is that my husband was just about […]
The One where She Works Solo

The One where She’s “Home”
I’m home. Well, home away from home. As soon as I pulled onto the grounds at SBC, it just felt right. Throughout the four years of college, this camp was the one place that stayed the same. No matter how many dorms I lived in, or how many camps I visited, or how many times […]
The One Where We’re Officially Cat Parents
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! This just in! Butterscotch is officially ours. Since the beginning of February we’ve been cat-sitting. And I was dreading the day we’d have to say goodbye. But the owner seemed to have move on from the cat she owned for 13 years. She asked if we wanted to keep […]
The One with the Oil Cleansing
After reading my post on cleaning with vinegar and baking soda, Laurie, a college friend of mine, gave me a great suggestion. She could tell I was leaning toward the more “natural” way of life, and thought I might be interested in an all natural facial cleanser. After check out the link for The Oil […]
The One with the Anniversary Amusement
Yes, our anniversary was a lovely day spent together. We went out for the best ice cream in town. We sat in the park and talked while enjoying the creamy goodness. We took a stroll. We went out to Johnny Rockets for dinner. We came home and read side by side. And finished the night […]
