Cast Off!
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Friday, July 03, 2009 9:24 PM
Just a quick note to thank you all for the prayers, support and encouragement you have offered my family over the last seven weeks (seven weeks, one day, six hours) since Henry broke his leg and got his cast.
Henry had his cast removed this past Tuesday and everything is rainbows and roses, glorious and grand. What a relief! God is good, his mercy never comes to an end.

Decent Exposure
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Thursday, July 02, 2009 10:00 AM
I’m happy to help spread the word, especially among my West Coast friends, about an upcoming event being held especially for young ladies.
Decent Exposure is a program for designed for teenage girls. On their website, they share the following mission:
“We believe magazines and television pressure girls to conform themselves to unrealistic images of women, teaching girls to mask their true beauty. Inspired by fashion icons such as Audrey Hepburn, we realize that true beauty is timeless and transcends trendy fads that may come and go. The formation classes culminate in a fashion show styled by Katelyn Rose of SuddenlyDarling.com.”
Learn more about Decent Exposure, including details for their July 11th Fashion show at their website.

The Case for Large Families
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, July 01, 2009 10:35 PM
Tonight we celebrated the birthday of my six-year-old nephew. Friends and family members converged at a local park for a few hours of fun, where we were all pleasantly surprised by the mild temps and gentle breezes. July in Georgia can be hot, and tonight wasn’t too bad at all.
I have mentioned I’m the oldest of eight children (the picture is my family at my bowling birthday party this past June),... READ MORE

A Week to Be Grateful
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Monday, June 29, 2009 9:52 PM
For weeks, I’ve been dreading the end of June.
My husband left Saturday for a week-long business trip. It’s the longest he’s gone on since we’ve been married, and the most number of nights in a row he’s ever spent away from Camilla.
We love Daddy, and as you can imagine, we’re not happy that he’s gone.
Luckily for me, my parents live just ninety miles from us. On Saturday I packed up the kids and... READ MORE
A Grand Ole Flag

The following is an award-winning Fourth of July cake—I know this to be true because a few years ago I took second place in our neighborhood July 4th dessert contest! (Long-time readers will understand why I wept with joy upon hearing the news.)
The cake comes to us by way of The Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten, and is every bit as delicious as it is patriotic and cute. I’m including the recipe here... READ MORE
Rainy Day Fun
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Family on Monday, June 29, 2009 12:00 PM
On the East Coast we’re experiencing the rainiest June I can recall.
Just days and days that can’t be spent poolside or riding bikes.
There are always movies and computer games of course, but besides the questionable influences involved, I simply don’t think it’s brain-healthy to spend much time in front of the glowing screens.
It certainly doesn’t make for good moods—have you ever noticed how crotchety... READ MORE
