Doors Closing to the Public Soon!

Pretty soon (I hope!) the new site will be up and this blog will be closed to the public. If you're not the person who leaves me long comments in Chinese, or the spammer who thinks I need a lapband, cheap prescriptions, or a "hot singles" dating site recommendation, and you want to continue reading the privatey-private family blog, feel free to email me or leave a comment here to get on the guest list!

Thanks, friends!

Thoughts For The Day

I can't change other people,
their behavior, attitudes, decisions, or treatment of others.
It's not my job to do so.
I can only change myself,
speak truth, give grace, love others, forgive,
create appropriate boundaries, and act rightly.
I am only responsible to God for myself.
And, thank Jesus for that!
I'm enough work, baby!

~Me again

Chocolate, chocolate, thee I love.
Thank you, Hershey's, Giradelli, Dove.
Oh, precious, yummy, pointy Kiss.
Blissy blissy blissy bliss.

Annnnnd..... that's all I got. Have a happy day!

Where's the New Thang, Huh?

I know what you're thinking... "So, you promised a new blog and... nothing! Whatcha been doin', huh?.."


The new blog with a new url is still under construction, hopefully celebrating a Grand Opening soon, though!

So what's the deal? What are we doing?

Well, a little bit of the same, a little bit of new, hopefully a lot of fun! I'll be blogging about:

My hectic and wonderful life with Haus and our bunch of kids
Marriage (the good, the bad, and the nearly deadly)
Mothering (and growing up while I'm at it)
Homeschooling
Field tripping
Adoption
Orphan care
Christianity & Church issues
Book reviews
Products I like
Maybe a few embarrassing admissions of public falling for your mocking pleasure
And pretty much anything I find interesting or funny


Can't wait! I've got some funny stuff to tell ya!

New Blog Comin'. Buckle up.

I'm currently brewing up a whole new "thang" that Haus and I are pretty excited about! Stay tooned!
