My Slice of the Rainbow: On Pace
http://mysliceoftherainbow.blogspot.com/2015/01/on-pace.html
Monday, January 19, 2015. I made some goals in addition to my In Place mantra. They are selfish goals. I want to make more quilts, read more books, and write more blogs. As a mom and a wife and a woman, I often put my wants and needs last. I am sure I will still do that often, but I am going to try to do that less. I made a goal to read 40 books this year. I should not really say read though, more like experience 40 books this year. What in the world does that mean? While taking down my Christmas decorat...

My Slice of the Rainbow: No Soup For YOU! (or Me)
http://mysliceoftherainbow.blogspot.com/2014/02/no-soup-for-you-or-me.html
Wednesday, February 12, 2014. No Soup For YOU! For the last two days I have gotten out of bed at 5:30 AM (in the dark before the dawn- just to be clear! To begin preparing Chicken Bacon and Wild Rice Soup. Forgot to add the chicken broth and the rice soaked up all the "gravy" and I made wild rice play dough. So today, I got up resigned to make it on the stove. I cooked rice, made the soup gravy and mixed it into a lovely soup. Did I mention I started this process at 5:30 AM? Rather than deliver a lecture...

Shalom at Advent | Redemption's Road
https://thebarnabascenter.wordpress.com/2012/12/11/shalom-at-advent
December 11, 2012. Come, Thou long expected Jesus, born to set Thy people free. From our fears and sins, release us; let us find our rest in thee. This fall I had the chance to retreat with friends to the mountains of North Carolina. We ate good food, visited, laughed and I, for one, was able to deeply rest. We sat under the teaching of a winsome woman who asked us to remember and to watch for Jesus’ presence in our current days. When did it begin to feel foolish to rest, to experience shalom? Listen, wi...

My Slice of the Rainbow: A Roadtrip, By the Numbers
http://mysliceoftherainbow.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-roadtrip-by-numbers.html
Monday, August 11, 2014. A Roadtrip, By the Numbers. I just got back from a road trip with my little boy. I took only him and we did mostly baseball because during the year it seems I am mostly with his sister doing mostly dance. I wanted to have some boy time. So here is a breakdown of our trip in numbers and pictures. 349- top average gas mileage as calculated by my car. 64- average speed. Cheers to the interstate highway system! 10- Bonus Points for Kauffman. Shandy in a can-dy! Apparently I am not th...

My Slice of the Rainbow: April 2013
http://mysliceoftherainbow.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 15, 2013. So, this weekend, we did not lift a piece of clothing in my daughter's room. Nor did we do the one thing I wanted to get done- spring pictures. Why? What could happen to derail my whole grand scheme? Saturday morning, approximately 12 hours after getting the stitches, the boy started coughing. Did I mention he started the week with pneumonia and an ear infection? Friday, April 12, 2013. I do fear I am raising a p-i-g pen though! Maybe if we work in 30 minute increments and allow f...

http://mysliceoftherainbow.blogspot.com/2015/01/waiting-and-reading.html
Tuesday, January 27, 2015. Waiting. and reading. Still the same, I am waiting. So to silence the ifs, what ifs, and if onlys, I am trying to check things off my to do list and get extra book time in. I have 2 books to share with you. 1) One Shot at Forever by Chris Ballard. It is the story of a. It went on to discuss the boys when they were grown. How the season was carried with them for the rest of their lives. 2) Big, Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. This book is a murder mystery. Lame, right? I loved th...

My Slice of the Rainbow: Rain Out

Tuesday, March 4, 2014. If you didn't click the link to the video, you should. But if you are really. Against it, I will tell you. Crash then proceeds to turn on the water sprinklers. "Oh My Goodness! We've got ourselves a natural disaster." They then partook in some boy like shenanigans of running the bases and sliding in the mud. Today I went back feeling much better about having the energy to go the distance. I went back thankful that relief sometimes comes in unexpected ways. And I leave you ...I am ...

My Slice of the Rainbow: March 2013
http://mysliceoftherainbow.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 14, 2013. The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult. It has been a long time since a book grabbed me by the collar and would not let go until I read it all. RIGHT! This is exactly what The Storyteller did to me. I bought the book having read nothing. So the moral of this post is, GO READ THE STORYTELLER. NOW! If not that one, I suggest Change of Heart, My Sister's Keeper (PLEASE don't watch the movie- it's crap), Plain Truth, or Handle With Care, just a few of my other Picoult favorites. You are le...
