While Ordering Coffee

I get to spend a week or so in the beautiful Rose City of Portland, OR. Years ago, Michael and I lived in this amazing city and it's always a delight to return to this place of "unique culture."

After Jenni, the kids and I grabbed - no inhaled - devoured a Voo Doo donut - it seemed like coffee would be appropriate and thus little neighborhood coffee cafe sucked me in. Why is it that those cutesy places always do that?

While dd and I ordered our dark rich blend, this boy (my oldest grandson) plopped himself down and picked up this book. Don't you love it when the kiddos do that?

Oops, he caught me spying on him.

Acts of Kindness

When you see those bumper stickers that say something about "showing acts of random kindness" what do you think?

This was the epitome of a random act of kindness on Monday.

Short, Fat, Bald Guy

The big brother borrowed my camera to snap a few pics of the short fat bald guy (little brother).

Enough already!

If you haven't said HELLO at Everything Home and Garden yet, I'd love it.

keeping kids busy - while watching t.v.

So, what rationale does a mom have to let her kids watch brain cell wasting t.v. (or at least much of it is). Get their hands busy folding laundry!

IF kiddos watch t.v. it's always with a pile of laundry in front of them. They become the engine (folding the clothes) that keeps the t.v. going. Once they disengage their sweet little hands from folding the clothes, the t.v. goes off.

I LOVE . . . let me repeat WE LOVE this. The adults on the home front always get a little chuckle out of the scene. Check it out:

little garden girls tips for kids - peppers

The transition that happened with the industrial revolution took something away that building and growing a garden creates opportunity to bring back. What is that? Dependency on God and the awe of life and growing things and giving thanks to the Almighty for his wonderful provision.
