Life In Our World…

High-Low Game

Have you ever played High-Low? Each person in a group tells the high and low of their day, which always makes the low seem a lot less “low.” Did that make any sense? Now that I’m back (and almost recovered) from my 48-hour trip to Los Angeles, I thought it would be fun to play [...]

Finding Fall {Popped Indian Corn On The Cob Recipe}

Jack-eating-corn

What’s In A Name?

Today’s Back To Blogging assignment? Re-upload a post with a title that you are particularly proud of and explain why. Hmmm.. that’s a hard one. (I don’t think about post titles nearly as much as I should.) As I was looking through my posts, I kept thinking, “oh, that one was cute.” “Uh-oh, I used [...]

Grandparents Day 2009

Our boys are lucky. Really lucky. They have Grandparents spanning from one side of the country to the other, and a few in between. I recently asked them about all of their Grandparents (with includes their Grandparents, Great-Grandparents, and “adopted” Grandparents) and this is what they had to say: Mom: “What is your favorite thing [...]
