Like most nights when my husband is working, a good hour needs to be dedicated to demolition clean-up after the kids go to bed. Between whatever the dog destroyed during the day (diapers, stuffed animals, Legos, etc.), the food left over on the table, chairs, countertop, and walls, toys that migrated all on their ownContinueContinue reading “Getting My Martha On”

What Chamomile and Honey Can’t Do
I’m pretty sure I’ve had a cold/sinus infection since December 1. It has backed off a little here and there as some kind of bacterial mercy move, but for the last two weeks (or something like that), it’s been no nonsense, in your face (and nose, and eyes, and ears, and chest), Die Hard withContinueContinue reading “What Chamomile and Honey Can’t Do”
My Thirtieth Year
As something of a kick-off to my 30th year and my mom’s 50th, we ran a half-marathon back on December 3. It was cold but dry and sunny, and we finished! Now, I have ambitions to run a marathon with one of my good friends (who is also turning 30 this year) in May, but I’m notContinueContinue reading “My Thirtieth Year”
Appliances are a Girl’s Best Friend
Belated Merry Christmas from S.Wells!Our family just got back from a snowy trip to Mansfield for dinner and a little shopping. BW came home early this afternoon from working in Louisiana over Christmas, and it was lovely to be able to get out of the house with him and the kids for dinner at Cheddar’s. ContinueContinue reading “Appliances are a Girl’s Best Friend”
Occupy Tea Wall Party Street and Why I Dislike This Conversation
This afternoon I posted a link to Dave Ramsey’s “Dear Occupy Wall Street” blog, which raised some discussion on Facebook. I am a fan of Dave Ramsey’s no-nonsense, pull yourself up from the bootstraps approach to personal finances, and I like his spitfire and sarcasm. He is straightforward and pulls no punches. He also holdsContinueContinue reading “Occupy Tea Wall Party Street and Why I Dislike This Conversation”
Creativity in Worship
Recently I started working with the worship team at our church, and I’ve been having so much fun. I don’t sing, and while I might be able to toot a tune on the ol’ licorice stick, there isn’t a whole lot of room for a clarinet in our contemporary worship band. Unless we start playingContinueContinue reading “Creativity in Worship”
Apples to Apples
A few weeks ago I decided to try my hand at making homemade applesauce. Unfortunately for my pot, I forgot that the apples were boiling down on the stove, and I burnt the bottom – both inside and out, since I’d allowed the darn thing to boil over. For ninety minutes. The pot might beContinueContinue reading “Apples to Apples”
The Table of No Return
I just finished going through the stack of papers that have accumulated since Thursday on the table of no return. Surely you have one of these–it’s the counter/hutch/bureau/table/drawer where the mail, bills, newspapers, checklists, kids’ drawings, homework, and other stuff that needs your attention goes when you need to clear off the dining room tableContinueContinue reading “The Table of No Return”
You May Say I’m a Dreamer
Over pizza tonight at Brookside Park, Elvis and Lydia shared how they are going to live next door to one another when they grow up, and they will visit each other every day. We asked where we will live, and they said that we can live next door, too. Brandon said, “Lydia, you can buyContinueContinue reading “You May Say I’m a Dreamer”
Pedal through the Bumps
My kids wanted to ride their bikes to school this morning, so we headed out at 8 a.m. on the drop-off circuit. I put Henry in the Baby Bjorn, our new dog Jelly Beans (Beans for short) on his leash, and my travel mug of tea in my right hand, and the Parade of Wells headedContinueContinue reading “Pedal through the Bumps”
