Stuff I Keep Forgetting To Tell You Part 1: Thomas and Friends LIVE

July 31, 2009 By

July 30, 2009 By

Amanda had a wonderful craft project that she did with Lydia right here – a Boredom Buster Jar full of ideas and activities to do when the “Mommy, I’m bored…” starts.  Elias actually does not tell me he’s bored – he shows me by acting out and disobeying.  So…. here begins my list of Boredom [...]

Top Ten {Tuesday}: Bloody Films I Actually Liked

July 28, 2009 By

1. The Patriot One of my favorite movies. It’s so bittersweet it makes my heart hurt thinking about it. And Mel Gibson? He’s hardcore in this one. The worst/best part is when he and his two young sons are watching a troop of redcoats in the woods. He asks his son, “Do you know which [...]
