First of all, Annie's Time Travel Tuesday is all about bad dates today. Head over there to read about the bad dates of others. I don't really think I ever had any dates that were absolute disasters, but I do have a few words of wisdom. First, you know your relationship will not last forever anytime your date says, "Why do you always have to use those big words?" Second, you know you have not found Mr. Right when you are on a first date and the guy unwraps a silver brush and asks you if he can brush your hair (that's strange, right?). Feel free to give your daughters this pertinent information.

Now on to other matters. Jenny (who is having a special day today) thinks I read too much! :) So, just to show my bookishness even more, I am joining Semicolon's Saturday Review of Books Reading Challenge (thanks Jennifer for spreading the word about this). In case you didn't know, Semicolon hosts a book review carnival each Saturday. In honor of the anniversary of the Saturday Review of Books, she is asking participants to choose six books that have been reviewed in the last year on her site. I am including my list below.


The Kite Runner, reviewed by Small World
Emma, reviewed by Mommy Brain
The Road, reviewed by Stephen Lang
The Five Love Languages, reviewed by Jennifer at Snapshot
Austenland, reviewed by Framed and Booked
Whence Came a Prince, reviewed by Becky's Christian Reviews

Head over to Semicolon today to check it out! Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Recently, Shauna issued the Christy Challenge to encourage us to read one or more books selected as Christy Award winners or nominees. As part of this challenge, I chose to read Straight Up by Lisa Samson, which was one of the three finalists in the Contemporary Stand-Alone category for 2007.

Straight Up is the story of Georgia Bishop, a musician who is wasting her life and talent by drowning herself in alcohol. Both of her parents are dead, and she is separated from her husband. In an attempt to help Georgia reclaim her life, Georgia’s uncle Geoffrey convinces her to move to Lexington, Kentucky, where she can be closer to him and have a fresh start.

Fairly, Georgia’s cousin, is simultaneously living an empty life. Although she is not a drunk, she spends all her time working, and she is involved in a meaningless relationship. Like her cousin, Fairly is bitter because those she loved the most are dead, and she no longer believes that God cares about what happens in her life.

Geoffrey convinces Fairly to visit Lexington as well, and emotions run high. When a life-altering event occurs, Fairly and Georgia are forced to recognize how empty their lives have become. Will it be too late to change?

If you enjoy contemporary Christian fiction, I believe you will enjoy this book. Lisa Samson does an excellent job developing real characters who struggle with the difficult circumstances in their lives. Mrs. Samson forces the characters to deal with the consequences of their actions; not everything is smooth and rosy. I especially appreciated the way Mrs. Samson highlighted the impact that we all have on the lives of others. We are not isolated. When we do not use our talents, and when we refuse to live as God desires us to live, we damage ourselves, and we alter the lives of others. Unfortunately, the people we hurt the most are the ones we love.

If you would like to win my copy of this book, please let me know in the comments. I will randomly select one winner on Saturday, August 4th, after 6:00 P.M. Additionally, be sure to visit the Christy website to find some excellent books to add to your "To Be Read" list.

Thanks for the challenge Shauna! To read reviews of other Christy books, head to Shauna's site!

In all honesty, I am glad to be at the end of the week! Generally speaking, our week was fine; but some of the challenging moments of motherhood were getting to me by Friday (okay, they were getting to me by Wednesday, but mommies can't quit)! My husband has been travelling quite a bit, we are potty-training, we visited the doctor twice, and I let the garage door down on my bumper. Now, I am just happy that my husband will be home next week, and we can start with a clean slate!

Potty-training is going very well. My Best Girl is wearing undies all day except naps and bedtime, and she has had no accidents since Tuesday. However, she really wants to wear diapers. As much as she wants to be a big girl, she also wants to hold on to being the baby as well. I mentioned last week that we promised to get her big girl bed out if she would sleep through the night. The bribe worked well, and she slept through the night twice, so we set up the bed. After lying in it for about ten minutes, she called to us and said, "Okay, I am ready to sleep in my crib now!" Every time we put her down for a nap or bedtime, she will lie in the big girl bed for a few minutes, but she moves into the crib after that. Because she now has no incentive, she is back to waking 3 or 4 times a night. I think we are going to have to throw her out with the trash (kidding)! :) I do not have her bedding yet, but I will post a pic when I do. In the meantime, here is a series of pics demonstrating my child's favorite activity during those 10 minutes in her big girl bed. We place her blanket over her, and then she kicks it over her head. She thinks this is quite a trick!




I am sure you are in awe of my child's talent!

I would like to say thanks to two ladies who gave me a lift when I needed it this week! Terri and Gail awarded me with the Thoughtful Blogger award. This award is "for those who answer blog comments, emails and make their visitors feel at home on their blog; for the people who take others people's feelings into consideration before speaking out, and who are kind and courteous. This award is for those generous bloggers who think of others."

Thanks ladies! I really appreciate this, and it lifted my spirits to see my name listed on your blogs. I am supposed to pass this on to five more bloggers, so I will name Leah, Heidi, Susan, Lu, and Jana. You are so thoughtful to keep coming back and commenting so regularly. I thank you!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Disclaimer: This post is not for those who are faint of heart or who feel it is inappropriate to discuss the bathroom matters of a two-year-old. You have been warned.

We are in the middle of one of my least favorite parenting duties. We are potty-training. This, of course, requires constant attention to the clock, body language, and location. It also means that I am required to visit public restrooms with my daughter who feels the need to touch everything while I shudder and pull out the hand sanitizer.

Several days ago, my Best Girl told me her tummy was hurting (which, when translated means she needed to po*op). We headed to her bathroom and sat down to read The Three Billy Goat's Gruff. I soon realized that her tummy must have really been hurting as her po*op was very runny.

I asked her if she was feeling okay, and she delightfully exclaimed, "Mommy! I have gas pee-pee!"

The potty vocabulary at our house will never be the same.

Have a great Thursday!

Welcome to the Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway! This fun carnival is hosted by Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer. Shannon is inviting everyone to join her for a fun week of giveaways. All you have to do is visit her site to find out about giveaways all over Blogland.

I plan to give a copy of In Search of Eden to one lucky commenter. I won this book during the Spring Reading Thing (thanks, Katrina), and it is a wonderful book. I am excitied that I can now pass it on to someone else. If you are interested, please read my review.

At fifteen, Miranda DeSpain was forced to give up her newborn baby. Now, in her mid-twenties, Miranda is living a broken life, wandering from place to place in search of anything to fill her broken heart. Following the death of her mother, Miranda begins a search for the child she has dreamed of for eleven years. Her journey leads her to Abingdon, Virginia, where Miranda searches for clues relating to her child.

Joseph Williams, a local police officer, is distrustful of Miranda from the beginning. Joseph's family, however, welcomes Miranda to the community and helps her to feel at home. These new relationships help Miranda to realize that she is not the only person with problems and secrets lurking in the past, and she begins to understand that she can have peace amid troubling circumstances.

I highly recommend this book. I enjoyed it from the beginning and didn't want to stop reading until I finished. Linda Nichols, the author, did an excellent job of dealing with serious issues while managing to interject humor and surprises into the story as well. The overall lesson, I believe, is that there is no "Eden" while on this earth. Our lives will not be perfect; but we can have peace. We can rely on God to be our strength and refuge. He will carry us through our trials.

If you would like to win this book, leave your name in the comments. Remember that this is not a new copy of the book, but it has only been read once. I will randomly select one winner on Friday, July 27th, after 12:00 P.M. Good luck!

Be sure to visit Rocks in My Dryer this week for more great giveaways!

Updated to Add: The winner of the contest is #189 - Christine. Congratulations!

Many of you already know that we had VBS this week. VBS is always wonderful, but it is exhausting as well. Both my kids were sick at some point this week, and it finally caught up with me Friday afternoon. I spent Friday afternoon and Saturday feeling under the weather, but at least it was after I completed my VBS responsibilities. I am feeling much better today.

For the past couple of weeks, my Best Girl has not slept well. While she was sick, of course, we coddled her and cared for her when she was feeling bad during the night. Unfortunately, her sleeping habits didn't improve when she felt better. She has been waking 4 times a night and crying. On Friday evening, she cried for an hour when we put her in the bed. We would go in and check on her, and she would give us some reason she was crying. As soon as we left, she would start crying again. We finally just had to let her cry herself to sleep. I really felt like she was taking advantage of her recent illness, and now I know for sure. Last night, we told her that if she could start sleeping like a big girl again that we would put together her big girl bed. The little rascal slept all night! She didn't even call for us when she woke this morning. When my husband went in to get her, she said, "Can I have my big girl bed now?" Obviously, she was taking us for a ride with the all night crying. Now we plan to put together the big girl bed, but we will keep the crib handy in case she can't handle the freedom! :) I ordered her some new bedding yesterday, so I will post a pic when we finish it.

That's all the excitement around here. For more Weekend Reflections, visit Judi. Have a great Sunday!

The theme for this week's hunt is tiny. This is a picture of my sweet niece when she was three weeks old. When she was born in May, she weighed 4 lbs. 15 oz. I know that is not as small as some preemies, but to me she seemed tiny! When I finally saw her at six weeks old, she was still smaller than both my children were at birth. As they say, good things come in small packages!



This is a more recent photo. They don't stay tiny for long!

I have to say that I am very glad it is Friday! We have had a wonderful, but crazy week. Our VBS was this week, so we were at the church building each morning. I taught, and my kids went to classes for their ages. As if teaching VBS wasn't enough to handle, my kids decided to make things even more interesting. My best girl was sick at the beginning of the week, and my favorite boy started showing signs of illness yesterday afternoon. It wasn't the greatest timing, but I guess there's never really a good time for them to be sick.

I did have a nice surprise at VBS today. One of my students brought me these as a thank-you for teaching. I thought it was so sweet of her!

I hope to get my house in order and rest a little this weekend. Perhaps then I will be able to string together some coherent sentences on this blog!

While I am here, I do want to spread the word about the great carnival at Rocks in My Dryer next week. I will be participating by having a book giveaway. For more information, click on the cute icon.

Have a wonderful Friday!

The nice cable man came today and replaced a wire somewhere out by the road. This restored our internet and phone service. I guess the phone should have been more important, but because I had my cell phone as a backup, all I really cared about was the internet. So many times this week, I thought, "I'll just go look that up online..." Then, of course, I realized I couldn't! I know that internet connectivity is not a serious matter, but what did we do without it? (Actually, when I went to the library to check my email on Monday evening, I saw a row of 2007 encyclopedias. I was honestly amazed that they still make them. Do people still look up information in encyclopedias?)

I am teaching VBS this week, so we are quite busy. I do, however, want to share my excitement about meeting Jenny last Saturday. We were able to talk for 45 minutes or so at a local mall. She was in my neck of the woods visiting family. It was so fun to meet her in real life. She is sweet and personable, and she even brought me a gift. So nice! Of course, I was not as thoughtful, so I plan to surprise Jenny with a gift sometime in the future. Here is a picture of the two of us (Jenny's daughter was the excellent photographer).

I am trying to catch up with emails. I hope to be back to normal blogging in the next couple of days. I am sure I have quite a few posts to read in my Bloglines; I will catch up!

Have a wonderful Thursday!

My internet is out! I am typing this from the library just so I can let everyone know that I have not disappeared. I am now fully aware that I am addicted to the internet. Even though I can clearly see that I have no signal by looking at my modem, I keep double-clicking on the browser just to be sure. The cable guy is coming Wednesday afternoon, so I hope to be back then. Please excuse me if I haven't responded to your emails (there is a timer on this library computer, so I can't get everything done I need to do). I did get to meet a wonderful fellow blogger this weekend. I will tell all about meeting Coach J when I can post the picture. Hope everyone is having a great week!

Lori at Glass Half Full is inviting us to show the space where our families eat together. She is calling this great idea "The Family Table." I really like to see how everyone else lives, so I decided to join the fun. On most evenings, my family dines together here. We use our fine china and silver.



Okay, okay. Not really. As a matter of fact, my children have never eaten at this table, even though it is in our house. :) We do use this room when we have large groups from church at our house; the rest of the time it is pretty lonely in there. Here is the real story. On most days, my children eat breakfast and lunch at this counter. It is not as wide as a regular counter space, but there is plenty of room for two kids. My Best Girl has only eaten at the counter for the past few weeks, and we still make her sit in her chair with a tray for messier meals. She thinks it is a big deal to sit at the counter with her brother.


For dinner, we eat as a family at the kitchen table. I don't know that we are to a stage where we have any type of meaningful conversation, but we do eat together every evening. As my children age, I hope this will be a special time for all of us. Having dinner together as a family is certainly a priority.


One thing I love about our table area is the view from our large windows. This is what we see while we are eating. The view is so peaceful (which helps counteract the whining about the green beans).


There you have our tables! Head over to Glass Half Full to see more. Thanks to Lori for coming up with such a fun idea!

"There's nothing I can do about it."

"It's too difficult."

"It's not my problem."

"I'll do just enough to get by."

"I'll do it one day."

Have you ever used any of these excuses? I know I have. So often, when we are faced with a challenge or a job that needs to be done, we rely on one of these responses to excuse ourselves from acting. Unfortunately, these are the excuses that prevent us from making a difference in our own lives and the lives of others.

In his book 3 Seconds, Dr. Les Parrott asserts that the brief period of three seconds is all it takes to give that initial negative response a second thought. He discusses six different negative impulses that are common to us all and describes how we can change our course by rethinking those impulses in a matter of seconds. According to Parrott, what we do with this small amount of time makes the difference between "settling for 'whatever' - and settling for nothing less than 'whatever it takes'."

Generally speaking, I am an optimistic person, but this book challenged me to pay more attention to the negative thoughts that so often keep me from doing my best. It is so easy to have a "can't do" attitude. It is easy to throw in the towel. After reading this book, I am encouraged to notice these impulses and to use those important three seconds to adjust my thinking.

I will admit that I do not enjoy nonfiction books as much as fiction, but Dr. Parrott makes this book an enjoyable read by including many anecdotes to illustrate his points. While not written specifically for a Christian audience, I believe that this topic is certainly applicable for Christians. Of all people, we are the most blessed. We should always be willing to do our best with positive attitudes (Col. 3:23); this book helped me to focus on the thoughts that influence me to do otherwise.

If you are interested in this book, please let me know in the comments. Zondervan provided three copies for me to give to my readers. I will randomly select three winners after 6:00 P.M. on Saturday, July 14. Have a great Monday!

My kids are hesitant around real animals, but the fake kind are loads of fun! When we visited Chattanooga last week, we enjoyed the merry-go-round at Coolidge Park. My son selected a cat, and my daughter chose a horse. We were the only ones there at 9:30 in the morning, so we had all the fake animals to ourselves.



Of course, I am a fake as well. What used to be natural is now paid for every other month. I just can't let go of being blonde! You can see what's real and what's not in this picture if you look at my part because it was almost time for me to visit my friendly stylist for some highlights.

When we visited The Magic House in St. Louis, I saw a sign that said the average four year old asks 437 questions a day. I would say that my five year old is certainly in the ballpark on this one. Of course, most questions are simple: What are we having for lunch?, Can I have some milk?, Where are we going?, Can I have a Playstation?, How far is one mile?, etc...

And then, of course, there are the questions that take you by surprise.

My Favorite Boy: Mom, can I have your car when you die?

Me: Sure.

My Favorite Boy: Thanks. That will really save me a lot of money!

Of course, while I will gladly leave my car to my son, I hope it won't be for many, many years. For those of you who know Dad, I am sure you are smiling at my son's reasoning. You know Dad is all about finding the best deal. As they say, "Like father, like son!" :)

Here is another conversation that recently took place at our house.

My Best Girl: Mom, will you read Three Billy Goats Gruff to me while I go potty?

Mom: Could we read something else? We have read that one about 300 times.

My Best Girl: No. Three Billy Goats Gruff really helps me poop.

I just thought I would share that in case anyone needs help. I am sure you can find it at your local library. Beware of the side effects. You may be saying "Trip-Trap" in your sleep. :)

I guess one of the reasons kids are so much fun is you never know what they will say next! Have a great day!

Welcome to this week's edition of Time Travel Tuesday. Today we are revisiting our wedding day. My eleventh anniversary is this month, so the this is perfect timing. Perhaps I will even get out the wedding video and force my hubby to watch it! :)

After dating for a year and a half, my husband and I married on July 27, 1996. We had both graduated from college in May. When our wedding day rolled around, he had been working for almost two months, and I was babysitting until I started my first year of teaching in the fall.

This is me in all my wedding dress glory. I am not a frilly girl, but I did love my dress. It was the first dress I tried, and I knew it was the right one immediately. It was off-white (I think it was officially "candlelight"); this helped with my ghostly-white skin. My favorite parts of the dress were the train and the long row of buttons on the back. I was also very proud of myself because I did my own hair and make-up. I am sure someone else could have done it better, but I was a little bit of a control freak about my hair.

Hybels uses various Biblical characters to make his point: Moses, David, Nehemiah. Moses felt righteous anger when God's people were being mistreated in Egypt; David refused to allow Goliath to blaspheme the name of God. Nehemiah wept when he heard of the conditions in Jerusalem and left his position as the king's cupbearer to lead his people into action. Hybels also mentions men and women of our own time, including Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mother Teresa, who cared enough about the misfortunes of others to act on their behalf.

One of the verses that Hybels highlights is Ephesians 2:10. "We are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Additionally, he points to 2 Corinthians where we read that we are in the process of being transformed into the image of Christ (3:18). In Hybels words, we "should be loosening the grip on self-centeredness and instead looking for ways to serve others." As we become more Christ-like, we will become "progressively more compassionate people."

I agree fully that I need to focus more on the needs of others. So often, I am too wrapped up in my own schedule and desires to even notice the needs around me. Hybels has encouraged me to pay attention to my feelings of holy discontent and to act on them. At times while reading this book, however, I felt Hybels was promoting social activism more than active Christianity. While I believe that Jesus deeply cares for the physical needs and suffering in the world today (and expects me to care as well), I believe that He is most concerned with spiritual needs. We must meet physical needs to demonstrate our love and concern, but our ultimate goal must be the salvation of souls. As we care for others by helping meet their needs, we show Christ's love and have the opportunity to share the reason for our love.

So what does this mean for me? Hybels believes that each of us has one area of holy discontent in which we were meant to serve. While I know that some people are able to devote themselves fully to one particular cause, I am not convinced that this is a possibility for everyone. As a wife and mother, I believe that my primary focus is to serve my family (for Joy's great posts about this, click here and here). However, this role does not give me an excuse for inactivity. I am to do good at every opportunity (Gal. 6:10). When I see need, I must act. When I experience holy discontent, I cannot just sit by and wait for the feeling to pass. I must do all that I can to be of service because that is what a Christian is called to do. When I serve others, I will show the love of Christ and plant the seed that may one day lead to the salvation of a precious soul (Matt. 13).

If you are interested in this book, please let me know in the comments. I have three copies to share. I will choose three commenters randomly after 6:00 P.M. on Saturday, July 7th. Have a wonderful Monday!

We had a great week! On Sunday, I spent the morning in Albuquerque and returned home to Tennessee in the afternoon and evening. The kids and I joined Dad in Chattanooga Monday through Wednesday.

On Thursday mornings, my best girl is a peer model for two hours at a preschool for developmentally delayed children. About half the children have language delays; the other half of the class is comprised of children who can model age appropriate speech. Since my best girl never stops talking, she is perfect for this! While she was there, I took my favorite boy and his buddy Daren to the playground and library story time. They really enjoyed this, and we are planning to do it each week for the rest of the summer. Daren's mom thinks this is great as well because she is caring for Daren's newborn sister and two-year-old brother.

On Friday, we swam with some friends from church. This was fun for the kids, and the mom and I were able to visit as well. We spent most of Saturday at home, but we were able to convince Dad to take us to the park for a little while after dinner. It had cooled off some by then, so it was a nice time to play.

You'll notice that most of my week was fun! Because of that, I am really going to have to work on my house next week. It needs some attention. Also, I want to thank Stacy for naming me a Rockin' Blogger. I am certain that the adjective Rockin' is rarely used to describe me, so I was thrilled that Stacy thought of me!



I hope everyone has a wonderful week. Can you believe we are halfway through 2007? For more Weekend Reflections, visit Judi.
