Yesterday’s continuum on Beauty began with 2 reasons why I MUST do a couple more posts on this subject. You can check out Reason #1 here. Reason #2 is being knocked out now… that being that I’d better kill any suspicion of a new wife/mom in this family before they arise when you catch a … Continue reading »
More Beauty
I need to do a couple more Beauty Posts before I venture back to Pea-updates, Recipes and Unplugged for two reasons: Reason #1: Apparently this is a season for me to put some attention to this area. Seems the Lord is not limited to “religious” conversation when He speaks to us, and training comes in … Continue reading »
A Smile-less Season and Spider Venom (REVISED)
(For an explanation on this and other posts under “Raw, Real and Unplugged” see this post.) This is a seemingly awful and hopeless title–I know! Indulge me for a moment and remember that this is Raw, Real and Unplugged. I write this from the comfort of my bed where I have been ‘living’ for almost three … Continue reading »
Beauty Tips from a Dunce Who Knows Where to Turn
This post has been stimulated by my little sister Betsy. She also lives in New Zealand, along with her Kiwi-hubby and their daughter (you can see them here on Hadassah’s birth-day post).

Creative Corned Beef
Tuesday and Wednesday in our home become the most creative cooking days of all. We do our shopping once a week on Wednesday after dinner so by Tuesday/Wednesday the pantry shelves have generally dwindled to the nubbins. This Wednesday was no different and I was hard-pressed to figure WHAT I was going to make for … Continue reading »
Dialogue: Boston
(For an explanation on this and other posts under “Raw, Real and Unplugged” see this post.) The following is another FaceBook dialogue between Polly and myself following the Boston bombing. I felt this dialogue would be worth sharing (yes, I have permission) as it brings some additional thought to the most recent event that … Continue reading »
Breakfast Served: One Eyed Bandits (Pancake Style)
Breakfast is our Pod’s favorite meal. We RELISH weekend and holiday mornings when we can linger over coffee while fixing up a Great Big Breakfast… usually turned brunch by the time we finish preparing it. Oh the Luxury of mornings like those! BUT even on quick-breakfast mornings, it is our most important meal… sets the … Continue reading »
Link: “WellnessMama” on Contraception AND a few of my own thoughts too…
Ran across an article I appreciated by Wellness Mama about contraception. This is a subject I have wrestled with for many years… so far my heart winning out over logic and reason and baby #9 is on the way! The part of the world we live in does not blatantly frown upon having so many … Continue reading »
