My Quality Time Lovin’ 10-Year-Old Son

January 29, 2012

I‘ve studied Gary Chapman’s 5 Love Languages (separate link for children) enough to know that my 10-year-old son’s primary language is Quality Time. He wants to run errands with me—even boring ones. Last week he surprised me in such a sweet way. I’d said goodbye to the kids when I said goodnight, since I had [...]

2011: A Year in Pictures

December 31, 2011

I‘ve found that although memory is increasingly splotchy, I rarely forget a photo, the cement that holds moments and memories together. On this last day of 2011, I’m strolling through the year in images and revisiting the posts that illuminate them. I hope you enjoy it, too. January SNOW! (That’s big stuff in Georgia.)   [...]

A Sunday Scripture (What Christmas is All About)

December 18, 2011

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. ~Matthew 1:21 It’s not about wrapped presents, decorated trees, or how much shopping and baking you’ve done. This is what it’s all about.

November 28, 2011

Admittedly, I enjoy a brief foray into the maddening crowds of Christmas shoppers—after all, we did roll out of bed at 5 a.m. and hit one store on Black Friday—but for the most part I’d rather shop from home.

Create a Timeline of Your Family’s Memories with LiveOn

November 22, 2011

I started this blog 5 1/2 years ago on the weekend of my mother’s birthday, two years after she passed away. I missed her wit and wisdom—her words—and wished they’d been recorded in more than recipe cards and stray notes. Blogging provides a means of capturing my family’s history in both word and image, something [...]

Where Everyone Knows Your Name

November 3, 2011

My bunch absolutely cannot do without community. We love family time, but getting together with friends—where the moms can share, the kids can play, and the dads can bond—is a must. Hanging with our Moe’s gang on Kids Eat Free night gets me through the hump in the middle of the week. Although we arrive separately in [...]
