Wordfull Wednesday: Love for Self

February 17, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 23 Comments

Motherhood is a demanding calling. Not only are we the nose and bottom wipers, we are also the cooks, the taxi drivers, the educators, the listening ear, the encourager, the maid, and countless other “labels.” With all the demands put on us caring for our family’s and other’s needs it is all too easy to […]

Whew! What a weekend we’ve had filled with ups, downs, and sideways. It reminds me of the children’s book “That’s Good! That’s Bad!” For the most part it was good with several bads thrown in to remind us to appreciate the goods. We took the kids to Fallon Friday evening. (That’s good! No that’s bad!) […]

Next Wordfull Wednesday Topic for February 18

February 11, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 5 Comments

The topic for next week’s Wordfull Wednesday is “Love for Self.” This will probably be a hard topic to write about. It usually is for most women and mothers. We are so busy doing that we forget sometimes to refill our cups before they become empty. In Matthew 22: 37-40 Jesus tells us that the […]

I ♥ Faces Adults: Week 5 Silly

February 11, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 21 Comments

We were out looking at snowflakes today with the magnifying lens when I got the idea to take this silly picture for this week’s adult category. It was so hard to get a decent shot because I either didn’t focus the camera right or I didn’t hold the magnifying lens correctly. The kids said if […]

Remember my word for 2009? My goal this week is to CREATE a more organized home. There is a whole list of HUGE projects that have needed attention for some time. I decided this was the week to tackle the majority of them. Yesterday the girls and I used the divide and conquer method to […]
