Last year I blogged about my one and only resolution for 2010. Did I do that? Yes we did! But unfortunately it was forced upon us. Due to dd’s increasingly bad attacks of eczema we brought her to a doctor who recommended an IgG test and we found out that according to the test she’s […] Read more…

Yes that goes for me too! Too often we would rather complain than do something about the various unhappy situations we are in. Great advice can be given but the person receiving it is not listening coz he/she is too busy being self-absorbed and whingeing.

I was chastised by the Lord today. And I share this with the intention of cautioning you not to fall into the same trap that I did. I chastised by the Lord for being too quick to judge an acquaintenance. Based on what I had heard (never a good thing!) I made my judgement call and […] Read more…

Child #4’s birthday falls on Saturday (Labour Day) so we are bringing her out for her birthday outing tomorrow (Friday) instead so that we don’t have to jostle with crowds – one of the many benefits of being a homeschooling family 🙂 To show that she is ok with celebrating it earlier and not on […] Read more…
