Snow

We have snow in the forecast this weekend.  I really hope we get some.  We have not had a good snow in YEARS.  I would love for my kids to get a snow big enough to play in before they grow up.
I wish we would get a good enough snow to use our sleds.  That [...]

Christmas is Just Around the Corner!

December 2nd, 2009 · No Comments

Are you ready? I certainly am not.  But, in this economy, Christmas for our family will be short and sweet.  One gift each is the limit this year which is much different from last year.  Hopefully people will finally remember what Christmas is really about.
I do not think it will hurt any of us to [...]

Remember the Reason for the Season

December 19th, 2008 · No Comments

However, a comment posted by a reader has been the most helpful of all.  It has given me a much needed new perspective on the situation.  God answered my [...]

Birthdays

November 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Isn’t it funny how children do not understand why parents are not thrilled when our birthdays roll around? I explained to my daughter who will soon be 9, parents do not as a rule have parties or get a lot of gifts.  Most of the time we have to work on our birthday and it [...]
