A Man of Integrity

Posted in Faith, Family, Marriage on September 29, 2006 | 5 Comments »

Several years ago I picked up a cheapo sweatshirt for my husband’s birthday. The quality was poor, to be sure. But I had to get it because of what was printed on it. It was a Promise Keepers shirt stating “Man of his word – Man of The Word.” That is my husband.
When I think back [...]

Happy Birthday Dear Hubby

Posted in Family, Lighter Fare on September 27, 2006 | 1 Comment »

Not much time today – must get hopping on a birthday cake for G. Happy Birthday to you!!!
It’s unfortunate that his birthday fell on Wednesday this year as it seems that is when all the things we participate in are happening. I have a Spanish class – which I skipped today as B has been [...]

A post about nothing in particular

Posted in Adoption, Children, Homeschooling, Parenting on September 26, 2006 | 3 Comments »

I seem to have some sort of writer’s block. I’ve had many things cross my mind that I thought I should write here, but the fingers never got moving on the keyboard.
I also have a time issue. B is working on dropping his naps – oh no! Some days he naps, others he doesn’t. That [...]

Hiding HIS Word in Your Heart

Posted in Children, Faith, Family, Music, Parenting on September 19, 2006 | 4 Comments »

I had seen this post a few days ago on Theologica and went back today to look at it more thoroughly. These Scripture memory songs are upbeat and contemporary, to be enjoyed by the whole family. So, I thought I’d share it here for any parents or individuals concerned about helping yourselves and your little ones [...]

Potty Training Update

Posted in Children, Parenting on September 19, 2006 | 1 Comment »

Things have been going much better in the potty department. After the incident I last posted about on the subject, B realized that pooping in his pants was more trouble than it’s worth. He does still prefer to go in a pull-up at naptime or bedtime. So, we’re still keeping wipes around. But he makes [...]

Well, I have gone and done it. As if I didn’t have enought to do already, I have started another blog. So, if you’re into food, health, nutrition, and such, check it out:

Every so often I have something on my mind, but don’t write about it because it seems beyond the scope [...]

An Inkling

Posted in Adoption, Family on September 12, 2006 | 3 Comments »

I’ll start with a definition of “inkling”: a slight knowledge or vague notion.
Basically, I got a clue. “About what?” you ask. In many entries on this blog I have mentioned and linked to other blogs regarding the perspectives and feelings of first parents and adoptees. Those folks have opened my eyes and educated me on [...]

Nostalgic Ramblings

Posted in Family on September 6, 2006 | 3 Comments »

It’s hard to believe (or is it?) that it has been 20 years since I graduated from high school. Yup, my graduating class just had the big 20 year reunion. I actually thought I might go – but then my grandmother had to go and have a birthday (just kidding, folks). So, yeah, family won [...]

Another Perspective on Transracial Adoption

Posted in Adoption on September 6, 2006 | 1 Comment »

Now here’s a refreshing, and possibly unique, perspective on the subject of mixed race families and transracial adoption: More on Biracial Adoption/Transracial Adoption. Here’s some of what she said that really grabbed me:

A dominant objection to transracial adoptions is that white parents cannot adequately “teach” black children how to “navigate the country’s complicated racial landscape,” [...]
