I just learned of a giveaway that you might be interested in...Fifteen books by eleven Christian authors. $5 Starbucks gift card. A booklight. I've read one of the books - Annabeth's War - and truly enjoyed it. Check it out. This would be a fun giveaway to win.
I really haven't had much time to read this week. Between working on my husband's birthday party and organizing things in our home I've been too busy to read. As well, I've been restless in my reading. I can't seem to settle into any book. I've started a couple but neither really grabbed me. I'm …
This has been a busy week, but I don't have a lot to show for it. First of all, my husband has his 50th birthday coming up next month, and I've started plans for a big party. Secondly, I installed a new digital scrapbooking program on my computer, and I've been busy setting it up and getting …

I have to say - the fun has not stopped around our house. Just as we're all more or less recovered from the flu my oldest son woke up this morning with some mysterious rash all over his back and spreading rapidly. This was only my husband's second day at his new job so guess …
I am sorry that I have been away from the blog for almost a week. Our family was hit by the flu, and when I say hit I mean totally. wiped. us. out. We're almost completely better now. It feels so good to be back to our normal routine even if our appetites haven't quite …
Today I decided to sew something for myself. Since I don't have a dedicated sewing space I can't leave my sewing machine and serger set up. I keep them on a shelf until I need them and their respective cords in a basket along with my hot glue gun. The problem is all the cords …
