Amanda Says the Funniest ThingsDaddy drops the kids off at school in the mornings. Amanda is always last, because she’s not big enough to jump out of the car and go inside on her own like her brother and sisters. After dropping off the eldest siblings at the high school, he asked her, “Are you going to go to this school one day?” She asked, “How old is Jeremiah and Jessica?” Daddy replied, “Jessica is 13 (she’s 14, but he forgot) and Jeremiah is 15.” She thought for a moment and, taking her daddy by surprise, she said, “Actually…...

Make My Saturday Sweet - Blog Hop #7

Hubby was given a South African Heart Foundation cook book at the grocery store a couple of weeks ago. It’s a paperback called Cooking from the Heart. Yesterday, just before the kids got home from school, he noticed a scone (biscuit) recipe and decided to try it. Now, he has helped me in the kitchen before, but I never saw him wanting to bake on his own and we’ve been married for seventeen years. So, it came as quite a surprise to me when he decided that he wanted to try the recipe and pulled it off like a pro! I was showering and...

Old and New Disney Books of Fairy Tales

Disney Nursery Rhymes & Fairy Tales and Walt Disney’s Giant Book of Fairy Tales When I was young, books were not a big part of my life, perhaps because I first learned to read in German. I only learned to read in my first language of English when I was in 4th grade, but only very poorly. In 5th grade the spelling of English words began to make sense. By the time I was in 6th grade, I loved reading. Walt Disney’s Giant Book of Fairy Tales My kids have grown up with books. They all love to read. I consider myself very...

Make My Saturday Sweet - Blog Hop #6

Amanda and I love going on outings. Recently, the weather was really nice and so we decided to try a nearby pizza place that I had heard of more than a year ago. I didn’t even know the restaurant’s name, only that we had to turn left at a T-junction and it was just a little bit further on. Thankfully we saw the sign, because it was really weather-beaten and easy to miss. The sign said, "Calabash." Once we looked around, it was easy to see how the restaurant got its name, because there were bunches of calabashes hanging from the outside...
