I found this excellent post at a blog called A Moment in History by Jeff Sanders. His posts are all so insightful and relevant, but this one just floored me. I knew things were bad with the state of education in the United States.. but WHOA. Recently I had some conversations with teenagers. Normally it’s [...]

Ever wonder HOW those monks who took vows of silence held their chorals? Wonder no longer! Here are the Silent Monks, singing “Hallelujah”! LOL this make me literally bust laughing. They did a great job! Thanks to Alice for sending me this.

I recently wrote about our shopping excursion for toys to our local Family Dollar Store. I go to that store all the time, but I haven’t checked out the toy section in a while. I was impressed! Family Dollar has an entire section of toys specially priced at $5. Some toys are lower priced and [...]

I tell my kids all your stories. [...]

I love coffee. Mmmmm coffeecoffeecoffeecoffee! Here’s a video of some pretty amazing coffee art. Yes! Coffee ART! Some young urban folks, with WAY too much time on their hands, used 4,000 cups of latte (dark, medium, light, etc) to make the Mona Lisa. The coffee art was done to launch some festival or something. It’s [...]

So, are you going batty yet? I mean, from all the gadzillions of things you have to do and keep track of? There is just TOO much to organize and take care of these days. I thought things would slow down once the kids got older, but egads- with a home job, the kids’ bookwork, [...]

I do not see why parents have to go nearly bankrupt this time of year, buying extravagant toys for children. We also have two children who have birthdays during this time of year, and it is VERY easy to totally break our bank. We don’t “do” Christmas, but we do give gifts for Thanksgiving. We [...]

I saw some of these and thought they were amazing! Banish those boring ol’ shakers from your table and take a look at these. Some are quite extravagant, and others are very cool! Uh, extravagant. Very cool!! For the music lover.
