Silver Lining Parenting

via pinterest  I am only a little bit ashamed to say that the episode of Modern Family from last week where Lily drops the F bombs has happened in my own house a few gazillion times. It is completely my/our fault as we/I {but mostly me} cuss like Bible school students who have been more [...]

Jesus & Santa walk into a bar.

 My parents didn’t tell us about Santa Clause growing up. There was a lot of Satan Clause type comments going on around or house & in the varies churches we attended while growing up. One church in particular even tried to completely boycott Christmas (and anything Disney, but that’s another story). As a child I [...]

Maybe you can stay awake just a little bit longer

I think that by the time I reach 25 my wrinkles will rival those of Cloris Leachman.  Sigh. It doesn’t seem to get any easier does it? The more you try the stronger their resolve gets.  Most days I find myself just sitting there thinking “Really?!

Phoenix Vlogs- Episode 1

I spent more time then I should have yesterday watching the last two Twilight movies {New Moon & Eclipse} and did not do any writing. But I did really, really, really enjoy the Twilight movies.
