Today’s “picture” is a video and absolutely breathtaking. túrána hott kurdís by hasta la otra méxico! from Till Credner on Vimeo. I love the images of the static trees or mountains […]
I’m taking up the Headmistresses excellent Worthwhile Reading Challenge to read 12 quality books in 2009. That 888 challenge flopped. I read some, maybe half, of those on the list, but not all. And the Presidential Project is stalled. It’s all Van Buren’s fault. I don’t know if he was painfully dull in real life, […]
I’m playing with my new mp3 player from my true love and watching Goonies, a gift from my sister. I was 9 when it came out and probably 11 or 12 when I first saw it. Such a silly movie, but lots of fun. I wonder what silliness my kiddos will enjoy? We got a […]

He wrote an annual Christmas letter that ranged from multi-page collage catalogs of all his wishes (complete with a new vacuum for my grandma) to poems and quizzes reminding us of the importance of God becoming man. He made […]
General rule of my homeschooling: 30 minutes of preparation the night before saves two hours (or more) the next morning. But I was fiddling with a photo card and gift for the Bulldozer’s speech therapist and making a cake for MTG’s work and didn’t get around to it. That’s one. We are generally pretty picky […]
I was coveting. I was coveting a better designed kitchen, a wider pantry, an island that didn’t eat up all the floor space and a gas range. I was coveting no debt, a van that didn’t require almost a thousand dollars of work right at Christmas, and a little something in the savings account. I […]
In light of the season and because we’re busy celebrating birthdays and packing for roadtrips, a collection of clips to make you smile. Have a merry Mythbusting Christmas.
