The Husband Can

the stranger must not

I shared this on Twitter last week and enough people seemed to find it as funny as I do that I thought I’d share it here in case anyone needs a quick laugh.

Miss Manners on the correct way to ask a woman if she is pregnant: enjoy!


Thankful For: Humor

Some holiday laughs

I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but Dave Barry never fails to make me laugh. At holidays, I like to hunt down his relevant columns and reread them.

In case your sense of humor is similar and you need a break from prepping your family/house/food for Thanksgiving, I’ve collected a few links to past Thanksgiving columns of his.

Did you know Colin Powell is the capital of Vermont? Read about it in “By the way, those turkey snakes have giant fangs, too.”

This one includes the phrase “a ticking Meat Bomb of Death”: “Defusing the turkey bomb.”

And last but not least, a whole scene with Pilgrims: Great American turkeys.”

(Oh, and don’t worry about the snakes. He’s totally making that up.)


"Art" You Willing to Help?

Links much appreciated!

So, we’ve started homeschooling this year. (I will write more about that later, I promise.)

I am trying to do “art” as part of our curriculum, partly because I think it’s good for Camilla and mostly because she really enjoys it. But as someone who has (really!) almost zero artistic talent, I am at a loss.

Thus far we’ve made jack o’lanterns and apple trees out of construction paper, because I can... READ MORE 


Being Nice?

Ideas to share

While I’m not the biggest fan of the word “nice” - there’s so much more to real Christian charity than just niceness - I came across a website today that I thought was… well… nice.

Do One Nice Thing was started by a woman named Debbie Tenzer. According to her Wikipedia article, the movement is responsible for, among other things, donations of 75 TONS of school supplies to children in Iraq and Afghanistan... READ MORE 


Find Success

The small kind. Over at Sherry’s place today.


Don't Forget Your Small Successes

Now happening over at Sherry’s blog. See you there!


Share Some Summer Sipping

Welcome to Culinary Wednesday!

After a recent post where I shared a favorite casserole recipe, comments included variations on my recipe (grill, crockpot), an entirely different favorite meal, and natrually, a question about whether this was meant to be a recipe sharing thread.

I asked Danielle whether we should try a new regular blog feature in which readers could share their favorites, and she thought this was a brilliant idea.... READ MORE
