Tuesday's Tidbits

By -
What I'm thinking: well, over the weekend my thoughts were on the Health Care bill and now I've been thinking a lot about Government; how its losing its importance and serving a very useless purpose these days. 

What I'm reading: still on Grace Unknown (I'm a slow reader) by I also read quite a bit from Bob Kauflin this week. I'm becoming a fan of his website.  

What kid quote made me laugh: Ethan, upon seeing  a red (juice?) stain in the carpet: "oh brother... looks like someone died in here." 

What we're learning: busy weekends = the oldest child needs a nap on Monday.  

What I'm watching: tonight is Lost and Biggest Loser. Wahoo! 

What's cooking: nothing. isn't that sad? we have left overs in the fridge, so I didn't cook today. 

What 's something fun we did over the weekend:  Saturday (before Jason went to work) we went to a fun park on Mercer Island by the water and had a blast. Sunday we went to lunch with friends after church and had a lot of fun hanging out with them! 

What I'm wearing: clothes. surprise, surprise! 

What I'm thankful for: my husband.... and the fact that he's still dating me, even after 6 years of marriage and 3 children. I love that God instituted marriage between a man and a woman and I love that he made it so beautiful, romantic, fun and exciting. God shows His goodness to us in so many "every day" ways. 
 
What I'm creating: I have a favor to ask from some of YOU creative people out there. I would like to add or exchange of few of these questions for some new ones. Any ideas you have? Any questions you'd like me to answer every week? Feel free. I'm going to keep asking this until one of you thinks of something :) 

What I'm praying: for Spiritual Revival in our churches.

What I'm planning: my sister is coming to visit in a few weeks! I'm putting together some ideas of things we can do while she's here. 

What I'm looking forward to: our church is planting a church near our house (I know, yay!) and I'm going to one of the meetings for that this week. Looking forward to making some new, local friends. 



A picture to share: this is from our visit to the Rainforest Cafe back in February. I thought it was cool how the animals look SO real!

I did a total snort laugh reading what Ethan said about the red stain. WOW. So funny.

I did the same thing, Erin :-) His voice cracked me up. Sounded like he sees people die on the carpet all the time or something.

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 sure to l

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.
