Expecting house guests this weekend for Christmas? Or later this season?
Most likely, they’ve come a long way to spend some time with your family, and most likely they’re pretty fried by the time they’ve braved traffic, airports, or weather. How can you make their arrival more peaceful? A few last-minute reminders and simple ideas …
1. Greet them at the door with as many luggage carriers as your house... READ MORE
Doing or Being?
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Tuesday, October 12, 2010
We’ve been on vacation since last week, and we are having such a relaxing time.
The first time I went on vacation with a family other than my own, I was fifteen. It shocked me to discover that my friend’s family did a big activity on every single day of their trip. For us, vacationing meant spending entire afternoons reading or playing games or running around outside. We’d do one or two sightseeing... READ MORE
Yoga and Christianity
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Friday, October 08, 2010
Southern Baptist Seminary President Albert Mohler is making waves with his recent comments that Christians should not practice yoga. In a piece he wrote for his website, Mohler said the practice of yoga is at odds with Christianity.
“Christians are not called to empty the mind or to see the human body as a means of connecting to and coming to know the divine,” he wrote.
I’ll admit I have not done... READ MORE
Music to Birth By
Posted by AGroup in Reviews on Friday, August 06, 2010
Strangely enough, though I typically have some sort of music playing morning, noon and night, I have never listened to music during any of my previous four labors.
I just stumbled across this article, though, and I think I just might like to try incorporating music into my upcoming birth experience. The article states that “if you choose the right music, you can increase your body’s production of... READ MORE
Girls' Night Out
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Just me on Monday, April 26, 2010
Whenever I hear someone talking about “girls’ night out” I get a wistful pang.
For a social person like me, the idea of party time sans children is very appealing. I’m not talking wild partying here. A tea party would be plenty wild enough for me, as long as I had something to sip and good conversation with my friends and I didn’t have to wipe a nose or change a diaper the whole time. Unfortunately,... READ MORE
Deep Breath
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Monday, December 14, 2009
Are you feeling harried yet? A bit frazzled? I’m trying not to, but then I’ll think of everything on my to-do list—a zillion little details that will not make-or-break our celebration but are still a priority—I think of all that and feel a little overwhelmed.
So I’m trying to keep the pace realistic. And I’m trying to work in some “me” time in the midst of all this. I’m not the lady pictured here,... READ MORE
Time Alone Is Precious
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Just me on Tuesday, September 15, 2009
Being a mother of little ones is strange. I often have no idea what day it is, but I can tell you almost to the minute how long it’s been since the last nap or the most recent potty break, and exactly how many hours there are between now and bedtime.
I rarely consult my calendar, but I live my life by the clock.
This morning, with my sister babysitting, I got to leave the house for some precious... READ MORE
Re-reading is Great
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Just me on Tuesday, August 12, 2008
I have been visiting old friends this past week, and enjoying it immensely. More specifically, I am re-reading L.M. Montgomery’s Anne books. Nearly everyone has heard of Anne of Green Gables
I know there are people who don’t re-read books. I had a friend in college who thought me... READ MORE
