I’m in Love…

April 30, 2010

Yes, it’s true: I am in love … with my NEW digital camera!

As an early Mother’s Day and birthday present, my dear hubby bought a Canon SD 3500 IS for me. Love it. TOTALLY love it! I had always been a Kodak girl, a big believer in their Hammacher Schlemmer lenses. However, my last camera, a cute pink M1033, isn’t worth the metal and plastic it’s made from. I’ve wanted to add a photo or two so many blog posts, but the image quality of my photos has been so horrendous that I’ve chosen not to. NO MORE!

We could start a new [...]

Reality Check 472: Eating is But One, Minor Component of Mealtime

April 21, 2010

You may recall me describing my insistence on suppers together, at the table, where we start with prayer and end by waiting until everyone has finished eating (and THAT’S a loose phrase, because three-fifths of us seem to have distinctly different ideas about what being “finished eating” means….). I wouldn’t call my children picky eaters, [...]

Surviving My Own Parenting Decisions

April 18, 2010

I cannot hardly believe it, but at midday on Sunday, I sit in my favorite perch, with my biggest worries being really (REALLY!) dry skin and the beginning of a nasty sinus headache. You know on Grey’s, or ER, when someone gets an organ transplant, and everyone waits to see whether the patient’s body will [...]
