Wednesday, September 23, 2009. If you can imagine it, there is probably somebody to buy it! This is capitalism at it's best! What is the weirdest retail product you've seen? Tuesday, September 22, 2009. The Trouble with Jessie. About 10 years ago a friend of ours invited us out to his place to check out some cute little black lab puppies. We loaded up the boys and drove out there, determined not to fall in love. we would just look. We didn't need a puppy. And she will not cross it. She will not step ...

Countin' it all joy: The True Spirit of Christmas
http://melaniewalenciak.blogspot.com/2010/12/true-spirit-of-christmas.html
Thursday, December 23, 2010. The True Spirit of Christmas. Bright beautiful lights, piles of gifts under the tree, cookies, parties, shopping… these are the things that have defined all my past Christmases. Don’t get me wrong. I never forgot the true reason for the season. Everything I did, I did in celebration of the Savior’s birth. It is traditionally a busy, hectic, and happy time of year. And what about Joseph? May you experience true peace and joy this season, despite what the world is offering you.

Tuesday, September 09, 2008. Look, it's not like I'm a great chef anyway. My 12 year old knows his way around a kitchen better than I do. It's not that I'm not a good cook. Ok, it's not ONLY that I'm not a good cook. It's also that I'm busy, busy, busy! I'm constantly multitasking and thinking about a great many things other than cooking. However, when one is not completely focused on the task at hand bad things can happen. In my defense, the bottles do look an awful lot alike, don't they?

Wednesday, June 30, 2010. You can also click on the link to the right that says "Hubby's music" and there you will find. yes, you guessed it, Hubby's music. In the meantime, here is a video of one of my favorite songs of his. (Don't judge the video too harshly. I made it long ago, before aquiring editing software filled with bells and whistles.) Enjoy! Tuesday, June 29, 2010. The Joy of Cooking. But that's another blog post. Well, not so much! I do love cooking a nourishing meal for my family. I real...

Sunday, October 12, 2008. Pink Ribbons as Blinders. So, we are driving down the street and we see a sign outside a doctor's office. Breast Cancer Awareness Month". The problem is, I'm driving about 40 mph and my 12 year old only reads at about 20 mph. This is what he got out of the sign. Breast Awareness Month" You can only imagine the hilarity that ensued. Thank you. but I'd rather he not be that aware at 12 years of age. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Pink Ribbons as Blinders.

Saturday, May 31, 2008. This week was a busy week for Controversy and Conflict. Let's begin with Case #1. I'm not completely convinced that Discrimination was at work here. in fact, I'm pretty sure it wasn't! And the rest is some really ugly history. Where do I fit in? That homeschoolers are here and growing in numbers and should be included in their demographics is not a bad thing. OK, now on to Case #2. This one is bit different from Case #1 in that this makes me angry! Yourself, if you haven't already...

Countin' it all joy: Transitions
http://melaniewalenciak.blogspot.com/2010/07/transitions.html
Monday, July 12, 2010. God has us moving (although not physically moving to another land. don't worry, mom). He has us changing career and changing our life. and the transition is so very difficult. Jim has prayed and the only answer he has recieved is "be still." A friend of ours prayed for us, and said "God is moving but for right now, wait.". It's difficult for us to wait, and even more difficult for the landlord, and the electric, gas and phone companies. They don't wait well. Not only are they perfe...

Thursday, August 21, 2008. The birthday boy embraces his inner nerd. I might well be a bad, absent at times blogger, but I am an even worse blogger mother! My oldest turned 15 and didn't even get a mention. I am here to correct that now! So watch and enjoy. (fyi. Cody is the sword wielding maniac in the long flowy red robes. that were so previously really usable and good sheets). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
