I haven’t finished watching Wednesday night’s show or even started last night’s show, but I did check out who the vote-off was so that I could post the Predict America’s Pick leaderboard. And may I say I am REALLY going to miss that fascinating horizontal hair. If I were a hair socialist, I would absolutely […]
Creatively Sharing Easter, And a Giveaway!
Back in December, I shared a creative set from FamilyLife called “What God Wants for Christmas” that really helped us be able to continuously talk about the true meaning of Christmas with Ali. And now that it’s getting close to Easter, I have a similar product by the same company to share with you: Resurrection […]
Predict America’s Pick Contest – $250 in Prizes!
I was skeptical about this season’s American Idol. Could it continue without Simon? I knew I wouldn’t miss Kara for a tenth of a second, but Simon… he made the show. The only person that would be more of an unforgivable loss than Simon would be Ryan, whom I might have a so-obsessive-that-I-dream-about-him tiny TV-Crush […]
Family Photos – Mine AND Yours! (Giveaway!!)
A few weeks back, we decided to attempt the scary – the impossible – the potentially traumatizing. Family photos. With a newborn. A newborn that was not (yet) out of a three-week-long fussapotamus phase. AND without my Mom along to help corral little people and bring about smiles. I’ve never attempted photos without my Mom’s […]
Giveaway – Family Four Pack to Madagascar Live!
We took Ali (And Noah) to see “Madagascar Live!” Tuesday night. We had seen the movie, and seeing as how it is one of less than half-dozen movies that are un-scary enough for Ali to like, we figured she would definitely enjoy the musical. And sure enough, she loved it!!! (We also took Gramamma along. […]

Nations Outfitters $50 Giveaway!!
I am so excited to share this new company with you all – Nations Outfitters is a clothing line that was started right here in Birmingham, Alabama, by LisaAnn Muir-Taylor, a Mom of pre-teen and teenage kids. She grew tired of trying to shop for her kids amidst all of the skimpy clothes targeted at […]
Our Favorite Christmas Set – And a Giveaway!
A couple of years ago, our dear friend Lydia gave us an amazing Christmas Nativity and Storybook that has become the most beloved piece of our Christmas collection – What God Wants for Christmas: The set comes with seven gift boxes, each holding a character from the Christmas story (except for the last one), a […]
Guess Noah’s Landing!
What’s the fun in the unexpectedness of a baby arrival without a good, legal “guessing” pool to go with it? Especially since we have long-standing family tradition over here of letting our children be involved in gambling activities. (Waiting for the State Bingo Lynch Mob to knock down my door and raid my house and […]
Black Friday Giveaways – EZ Sox!
I hope, for your sake, that your kid isn’t nearly as opposed to putting on their own clothes as mine is. Ali is just not a fan – apparently I do a much better job at it than she does. I’ve made some progress with her, but there are still a few items of clothing […]
