Memories

By -
A family I teach piano to was very kind to let me borrow their Little House on the Prairie (all 9 seasons) DVDs! I have been watching season 1 with Ethan and have really been enjoying this walk down "memory lane." Its fun seeing Ethan watch them for the first time and enjoying them as much as I did. He gets very into the story line; asking me about the different characters and often saying "she is NOT a nice girl" about Nelly Olsen. :)
I love how simple the show is. Nothing too scandalous, but plenty of pretty deep topics that are nicely discussed for a family setting. I think I will invest in this series next time I see it for sale at Costco. Its been nice to be able to be lazy on the couch while Rachel naps and at least get some down, quiet time with my boy.

What are some of your favorite throw-backs to watch?

Ooooh yes, and please email me when/if you do find them at Costco!
We are currently (attempting to read) reading the Little House books to start off our family (devo) time at night before the girls go to bed. ~Suzy

Um, I really like the Waltons. I really enjoy Little House. Andy Griffith is great as well.

Anne of Green Gables is always a favorite. Despite my life-long devotion to the Little House books, I never got into the show because Melissa Gilbert annoyed me...go figure, I think I was like 10 the last time I watched them. :-) But I always love Anne of Green Gables...and Masterpiece on PBS is running "The Complete Jane Austen" which is pretty much heaven.

I LOVE Little House. I'm reading the book series to the girls. I think I'm going to invest in the DVDs as well. My all time favorite movie series is Five Mile Creek. Do you remember that? I happened to pick up a bunch of them from a video store that was selling them. I still love to watch them!

Jenn - We love Five Mile Creek! I've been able to purchase several (all but 5 of them) from ebay. I need the last 5 and they get very expensive, since they're discontinued. Be glad you got them from that store before they sold them to someone else!

I'm always amazed how many people have never seen that series.

An old favorite show of mine is Leave it to Beaver. But, I haven't seen that in forever. I like Little House, too.

Five Mile Creek is THE BEST! Love it.
I also love Anne of Green Gables and Little House is more of a sweet memory...the show is a bit boring for me. K watches it now and then and likes it a bit. The books are fabulous though!!

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be ...

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.  ...
