Hey, remember ROLLER SKATING????
Today we went to Skate World to attend a birthday party for one of Urban’s friends. The last time I was in a roller rink was when some friends and I went to our high school Christmas formal in 10th or 11th grade—how sad that I can’t even remember which, but in [...]

Just a Snippet from My Day…
I sent the two littlest boys to the bathroom to wash their hands while I prepared lunch.
Two minutes later, Charlie came running out of there, shouting, “MAAAAMAAAA! Levi’s not washing his hands in a proper fashion!”
You see, they really do listen to us when we say something!

Do Babies Really Remember?
I remember some years ago—probably before I had kids—I read something somewhere saying that it’s speculated that small children up to around 3 years old can remember, at least a little bit, what it was like being in the womb.
When my oldest son, who is now 7, was around 2 years old, I asked him, [...]

Recipe: Stack-A-Meal
My husband, Brian, first made this dish for me when we were in college. I took one look at it and went, “What in the world is this?” It seemed like such an odd combination of ingredients.
And yet, it is sooooo good. It’s one of my favorite things to have for supper. [...]

The Simple Woman’s Daybook for 9/1/08
Hello, Friends! As you see, I’ve pretty much finished remodeling my blog. It didn’t take nearly as long as I thought it would, and though it was a definite challenge at times, it was really fun!
It’s Monday again; time for The Simple Woman’s Daybook.
Outside My Window…It’s unbearably hot and humid. [...]

Three!
Last night we celebrated our youngest son, Levi’s, birthday. He was so cute blowing out his candles and opening gifts.
I can’t believe he is three years old now. It seems like he was born yesterday…..and at the same time, it’s hard to remember a time when he was not a part of our family.
We’d [...]

Trumpet Vine
We had one great big trumpet vine plant growing against a back fence at our house in Texas. It was totally wild and invasive, and Brian was always having to go out and whack it down to keep it from taking over the entire back yard.
Here in Florida, we have a much larger [...]

Perfect Summer Day
Yesterday…..
The boys and I spent about two-and-a-half hours in our backyard, doing the things we were meant to have been doing all summer long but hadn’t (not really): running through the sprinklers; shooting each other with squirt guns; eating popsicles; and, most of all, having fun!
You know that scientific principle that says, “objects in [...]

Did You Know…?
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of L.M. Montgomery’s classic novel, Anne of Green Gables.
I remember when my mom first read this book aloud to me. I was not interested in “old-fashioned things” at the time and was really quite bored. I’m not sure we got much farther than the [...]

13 Years Ago….
Brian and I often go have lunch or dinner at McDonald’s for our anniversary—after all, it is where we met. But after all the traveling we’ve been doing, neither of us is exactly in the mood to either drive anyplace or eat fast food. Still, we do have to pick [...]
