I’m still here
August 20, 2009"Clearly I should win a Most Infrequent Blogger award this year. But I’ve been very sick for the past 10 weeks or so. One visit to the emergency room, a blessed anti-nausea prescription, and a couple weeks into the second trimester later, I’m sitting here mid-morning actually feeling somewhat like my old self. And as [...]"
Chim Chimminy
February 22, 2009"Earlier this evening, we enjoyed the sparkling wit and musical brilliance of Mary Poppins – the 45th anniversary edition, yet! Contrary to the effusiveness of the previous sentence, my actual feelings about this movie have not made it a favorite. However, it is fun to watch once in awhile, and I particularly enjoy seeing the [...]"
Insignificances, and some not
February 04, 2009"I have that song “Children of the Lord” stuck in my head about Noah and his ark… It rained and it poured for forty long daysies, daysies… I have no idea why. I’m drinking raspberry tea. It’s delicious. My writing muscles have atrophied. I’m just flexing them. I miss the exercise. I keep forgetting we have a new [...]"
The snow is not yet on the pumpkin.
November 09, 2008" A guest post dictated by my sister Kayla. Hello, everyone. That may be a lame way to start a post, but I have to start it some way. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I sure did. You know, there’s something special about this time of year. And no, I will not go into a [...]"

Happy Birthday, Sarah!
September 01, 2008" Sarah is one of my former roommates and best friends. She is currently working as a missionary teacher in La Paz, Bolivia (which she blogs about every so often at Sarah’s Wanderings). She is turning 21 today. I miss her very much and I just wanted to say “Happy birthday to you!” in yet another [...]"
On Shopping
July 31, 2008"While I’m on blog hiatus, I’m re-posting some entries from my archives. Lord willing, I’ll be back to writing new content in a few weeks – see you then! I’m a girly girl in many ways, but not when it comes to shopping. I don’t mind window shopping, and I love book shopping (even though my [...]"
Let’s get it right
June 24, 2008" A couple of funny stories from my job at the daycare last week: One of the teachers was telling a story to the kids (four- and five-year-olds). She was sort of a guest speaker, so she only knew them a little. To emphasize one of her points, she spoke directly to “Austin.” “Would you like it [...]"
5 Ways to Beautify Your Surroundings
May 16, 2008"The Proverbs 31 woman paid attention to aesthetics and detail. Yes, she lavished attention on her family, made sure her household ran smoothly, and gave to the needy – and she also made time for the small things in life. Adding touches of beauty to your surroundings can help foster an atmosphere of peace and well-being. [...]"
