Summer According to Emily and Maggie
Usually the marks of a good babysitter are people who pay attention to your kids, keep your house clean, get everyone to bed at decent time, etc… How about a babysitter who even gets your kids to finish your blog posts? 2-8 is the family upddate according to Emily and Maggie. At my dad’s request, it is time for… Continue reading Summer According to Emily and Maggie
Stinkin’ Funny
I find nude art and crass humor distasteful and lazy. The same is true for mom blogs that deal primarily with bodily excrement. Yesterday afternoon I was humbled. I am reduced to sharing, yes, a poop story. The twins have stopped napping, but as other homeschooling families can atest to, rest time is an essential for… Continue reading Stinkin’ Funny
Santa Beppie and Her List of Books

A more well known fact is that we are also slightly partial to John Piper. … Continue reading Be Killing Sin or It Will Be Killing You
A Snake is a Snake is a Snake
The snake in the basement has been captured and released outside where it belongs. I’m not usually one to give away the ending, but when snakes are involved there is no reason to add to the drama. Yesterday, I was in the basement sorting out 9 loads of laundry. I hate laundry. I wish we… Continue reading A Snake is a Snake is a Snake
