Fasting Today

Image
By













Have you ever had a day when you just want to tell everyone that they are fasting?  These are the dishes left over from breakfast this morning.  Yes, my children barely ate anything!  And, it's so frustrating!  They barely ate anything last night at dinner time as well.  So, today, I have imposed a lunch fast for the children (excepting Maryanne).  Maybe they will eat their dinner tonight no matter what it is because they are so hungry.

I hate it when my kids don't eat their cereal! I feel like I'm throwing $$ down the drain with the Cheerios. So frustrating!! So you're not the only one!! :)

Ha ha....such a great idea, I just may have to try that! BTW-I would love the info for making the bean bags, can always use a great idea to "gift," especially when you don't have to take the kids to the toy store....definitely understand that one :o)

Thankfully breakfast is the one meal that I know will be eaten in its entirety. My boys would eat breakfast 3 times a day if they could, and often eat it for snacks. Now dinner on the other hand (and sometimes lunch) almost always looks like what you're dealing with. It's very frustrating throwing away food, and I often find myself saying, "What do you think? Food grows on trees?" (Hehehe) or "Don't you know there are starving children in China/India/Mexico?" I'm starting to sound like my mother. Good luck with the fast and let me know if it works.

So I'm interested to know how this experiment worked. And do you think it will work on younger kids like my three year old stubborn child?

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
