Wife, mom, writer, Christ-follower, reader, knitter, baker... writing about life in general and everything that goes along with it.

It’s that time of year again. Time for baking and decorating and singing carols and… making phone calls to customer service departments. Okay, to be honest, it seems like I’m making those calls year-round, but shortly before and shortly after Christmas, they seem to reach a peak. Whether I need to change [...]

I’m taking advantage of Dianne’s open tag and participating in this Holiday Meme. Although I have not even attempted to locate and open my boxes of Christmas decorations yet (and I know I won’t even get close to doing that until next week sometime), I’m still getting into the Christmas spirit a bit.

The deal is, game reviews will be slowing down a bit. I still plan [...]

It’s been a quiet morning around the Callpidder House. We’re just hanging out and relaxing before we head over to my mom’s this afternoon for dinner. I’ve made the pumpkin cheesecake, so I don’t have any other dinner responsibilities to take care of. Chad’s out enjoying a bike ride, C.’s watching Flintstones [...]

It all started last year when he signed up to be a “bouncer” (aka “helper”) for our church’s Pioneer Clubs program. If you’ve ever attempted to teach a room full of 20 or 30 1st-graders, you know that you could use a bouncer, someone to keep the boys in line, answer the girls’ endless [...]

I’ve been known to be a tiny bit obsessive. And on top of that, once I challenge myself to something, I pride myself on doing all I can to meet that challenge. So it is with great pain and reluctance that I admit that… there’s a book I just can’t finish. Or [...]
