Texas 2015 (Part 2- San Antonio)

San Antonio is an absolutely beautiful city. I was privileged to spend time there as a teenager for a high school speech competition and I’ve been there twice with Paul. We were on the road early from Houston toward San Antonio. Paul had decided he wanted to eat lunch at The Canyon Café. It is located not far from town…

Book Review: The Early Readers Bible

Paul and I buy our teens a study Bible, usually on their 13th birthday. It is a special gift from us with the prayer that they will use it in the years to come to stay in the Word, and close to the Lord. Before that, they have a simple Bible they carry with them. I’ve tried several different versions,…

(This post is going to be LONG! This is my online version of scrapbooking. I just thought I should prepare you in advance!) We left for Texas on a Wednesday. I was really unsure about leaving my children while I joined Paul on one of his trips for work but if I hadn’t, we would have only spent a day…

This one will now replace the one that currently hangs above our sofa. I’m thrilled to be updating that one, we were missing Owen, Kylie, our new (expected) grandson and Paul’s sweet…

Book Review: The Unveiled Wife

Have any of you done research into your own beauty products? We’ve started using coconut oil as a moisturizer and to remove make-up. Other products are more difficult. Cosmetic companies make claims, but you…

Book Review: Henry Hodges Needs a Friend

Children can be so cruel. I’m not sure why they say the things they do sometimes. The words stick and linger. I think we know that whole saying, “sticks and stones” is just not true. As parents, Paul and I have never embraced the whole “boys will be boys” reasoning behind some parents allowing their children to treat others hatefully.…

Illness and Accident

We are ‘counting it all joy’ this week, in our home. After a long bout of illness in late January, this last couple of weeks have found us sick AGAIN. This has been a particularly nasty bug. My littles were all first to become ill. Slowly, it crept through our home. Owen and I have been the last to catch…
