I Got a New Apron

Posted by Hallee on May 18, 2010 in Christian Faith, Housekeeping, Life

I was shopping at the Christian book store and passed by a display of the neatest kitchen things – plates, bowls, cups…aprons! I could not help myself.

The boys had star fruit for lunch yesterday. It cheered us up immensely from being stuck in the house while the cold rain beat down outside.

Take Pictures

Go take pictures of your kids. Wrap your arms around your husband’s neck and take a picture of the two of you. Hand the camera over to someone sitting next to you in the restaurant and have him take a picture of you and your family.

Real Photos

Posted by Hallee on Dec 21, 2009 in Family, Parenting, Raising boys

Both boys were in their Christmas sweaters for church and I wanted to take a picture of how cute they were to send to my husband, Gregg, in Afghanistan. The second I pulled out the camera, they started crying. Wailing. Rending of clothes and gnashing of teeth. It was so dramatic. The tears immediately dried up the second I threw my hands in the air and gave up.

Gregg sent me this article by Hannah Goodwyn of CBN yesterday and it made perfect sense to me. I thought I would pass it on.

Listening to a Christian radio station several years ago, we heard a movie review followed by the tag line, “for more reviews, go to pluggedinonline.com.” I was sitting at my computer at the time and opened it up. As I did, one of my favorite resources as a parent opened onto my computer screen.
