Lorelei (looking at and holding her baby, says to her/it in a whisper voice):  “Baby.  You look at me!  Don’t say ‘dammit’!  No.”  Then, she proceeded to open her mouth insanely wide and…bite her.
Me:  *looked at her, mouth wide open in astonishment*
Lorelei: “What?”  (as if she was just doing the most natural thing in the [...]

In an attempt to be and feel closer to God, we often sign up for the latest Bible study, buy the Christian books, and then “do our part” by attending church.  If we feel really motivated, we may even volunteer or at the very least, send a check.
Through all of this, we often pat ourselves [...]

My marriage is probably the best it’s ever been. It’s so wonderful and although I’m struggling with depression some, it has NOTHING to do with my marriage. (In fact, I think it has more to do with a chemical imbalance…or something…because my present life is pretty great.)
Anyhow, Steven and I have been talking [...]

Yesterday, I posted a temperament test…what were your results?
I scored:
57 choleric
34 phlegmatic
50 melancholy
53 sanguine
The LaHayes say that you can be a combination of temperaments as well.  It’s rare that people score evenly in all 4, though.  (Keep in mind that your temperament is what you’re born with, you can learn to behave in other ways.)
So, [...]

Directions:  Beside each quality write a number, 1-5 with 5 being the qualities that [...]

FOR TODAY: February 15, 2010
Outside my window…more snow
I am thinking….about a decision we have to make and what the implications for each might be.
I am thankful for…my husband, Lorelei and Aurora, my family and my best friend who knows what I need before I do.
From the learning rooms…tracing lines with her finger

From the kitchen…I made [...]

I started this blog in the beginning of 2008.  In the beginning, I wanted to share stories about my daughter, Lorelei and also to just …be creative (like my “ad for a sugardaddy” or crafts).  As time passed, I became convinced that my blog should be and go far deeper than that.  I wanted people [...]

For just a moment, I’d like you to think of all of the possessions you have.  I want you to imagine the things you’ve invested the most money in - a boat, big screen tv, gaming station, music equipment, clothing, etc.  For most of us, when we invest money in things, we tend to value [...]

I’m struggling.
I’ve woken up and wiped the sleep from my eyes.  I hear whir and a whoosh, and tilt my head to look around me at my surroundings.  Another whooooosh!  Something tickles my ear and I reach up, running my hands along something new and unfamiliar.  As I explore the thick strands of something unknown [...]

Touch your spouse.
Touch is important - powerful, even.
Give your spouse a hug, kiss, massage, or all of the above!
