So I mentioned how much fun I’ve been having while couponing lately. Well, it was another late night yesterday. Er… I should say, “early morning.” Maybe, if Olivia didn’t go to bed at 10:30, and Josh didn’t insist on watching M*A*S*H until 11:30, and then the dishes didn’t have to be done… maybe […]

Olivia and I had eaten breakfast together while I was reading my bible. I finished eating and took my dishes to the kitchen. I returned to find this:
Close, Honey, but the church bulletin isn’t actually God’s Word.

This weekend, we went back to our home-state, Illinois, for a friend’s wedding. It was great to see high school friends again and compare pictures of our children. (I’m winning; I had the most (children and pictures)).
The whole family was invited to the wedding, but we made arrangements for Olivia to stay with […]

I am taking deep breaths and trying to endure this recent pain.
I can go without Pampers. I can go without store-bought laundry detergent. I can go without fancy dinners and movie dates.
But this one hurts.
Going without Harry Potter.
I am currently on the wait-list at the library. I think I’m number nine.
Nobody, and […]

Here’s how I did it:
I received a total of 104 comments (103 on blogger, and one lonely soul on thenaturalmommy) I went to random.org. I put in the number 104. The first number on the generated list was the number 4. I went to my blogger site, counted four down, and found this comment:
“Laura […]

I was up way too late last night this morning couponing. A mommy of a four-month-old and a toddler should not be crawling into bed at 1:30am. And even after I was in bed, I just lay there, too excited to sleep, because of this:
This Sunday, I plan to be waiting in front of the […]

After dinner, Josh and I looked over at Olivia, who had been actively playing in her little kitchenette area. She was standing, nay, leaning against the play-fridge with a look of stout concentration.
Any potty-training parent knows that look.
“Do you need to go potty, sweetheart?”
“No,” she answers in her non-verbal language on which we have […]

Oh, I just couldn’t wait to tell you this:
I have my very own, professionally designed, personal spot on the web!

It’s not completely set up. I am writing a novel to explain myself and the name I chose for my domain. Hopefully it will be done by Friday. It’s not like I have […]

I recently started reading Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis and it has opened my eyes to the spiritual world around me. The Bible and pastors may speak of demons in this world, but somehow it didn’t sink in until I picked up this book (and I’m only on chapter three!).
In this book, Lewis tells […]
