Thoughts From the Minivan
http://fivesouths.blogspot.com/2014/12/this-morning-i-read-on-friends-facebook.html
Thoughts From the Minivan. Just one mama's musings about her life, her family, and her walk with God. This morning I read on a friend's Facebook page the link to a piece about the poor. One of the responses to her post was "I'm tired of helping those people. It actually hurt my heart. First, let me start with the "I tried to give them a Big Mac and they said they didn't want it" people. One gentleman shared with me that he couldn't eat fast food because it gave him wicked diarrhea, and when you're on...

Thoughts From the Minivan: Birth Control. Gulp.
http://fivesouths.blogspot.com/2012/03/growing-up-in-southern-baptist.html
Thoughts From the Minivan. Just one mama's musings about her life, her family, and her walk with God. Birth Control. Gulp. Growing up in the Southern Baptist tradition, there are several things that baffled me throughout the years. My parents didn't like it when I questioned them.they usually either brushed me off completely or they just finished the conversation with "because we're right." This parenting technique was an easy out for them, but for me it created even more. To me, they. Combination oral c...

Thoughts From the Minivan: Change the world...
http://fivesouths.blogspot.com/2013/03/my-family-has-been-watching-history.html
Thoughts From the Minivan. Just one mama's musings about her life, her family, and her walk with God. My family has been watching The History Channel's miniseries "The Bible" for the past few weeks and the kids have been waiting (im)patiently for Jesus to come on the scene. As an aside, they have heard Bible stories all their lives, so they were rapt with attention to detail.and sorry, Mark Burnett, but according to 9 year old Griffin, you got quite a few details wrong. What are we going to do? If it mea...

Thoughts From the Minivan. Just one mama's musings about her life, her family, and her walk with God. Mother of the Year" candidate.EPIC FAIL. As I may have mentioned before, I have a son, Griffin, who is 6. He is in Kindergarten. He does not. Do mornings. At all. Typical early morning Griff-isms are:. You never loved me! If you loved me, you wouldn't make me get up! Get out of here! Usually accompanied by the stink eye). I'm not going to school! I'm never going to school again! He blamed that on Big Dad...

Mighty Sparrows Academy: A Trip to the Beach
http://mightysparrowsacademy.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-trip-to-beach.html
Wednesday, October 10, 2012. A Trip to the Beach. The wind in our faces, the cool water on our skin, tasting the salt in the air, the sand under our toes, the birds' calls echoing in our ears, all at once it was overwhelming and amazingly refreshing. The girls instantly ran into the water. It felt wonderful. Smiles abounded. Laughter rang. My heart was so full at their joy. We made so many discoveries. We observed crabs and hermit crabs, and watched the sea gulls and pelicans feast on small fish.

Mighty Sparrows Academy: Watching Vultures
http://mightysparrowsacademy.blogspot.com/2012/11/watching-vultures.html
Monday, November 19, 2012. My mom's mother-in-law recently suffered a heart attack while on vacation, and thankfully she is okay. Yesterday, the girls and I joined my mom in heading over to her house to spruce it up for her homecoming from the hospital today. We simply washed the bedding, swept/cleaned the floors, dusted, that sort of thing. I didn't see her in the front yard and called out to her. "I'm over here! She yelled from behind the house. "Come look! November 23, 2012 at 6:01 PM.

Sunday, September 30, 2012. Enjoying Life with the Ones We Love Most. It's amazing how the relationships within our family have grown. My kids have become the very best of friends, and it warms my heart. I love that they aren't separated because they're different ages. They get the opportunity to learn and explore together, and they think it's awesome. My 7 year old teaches the 3 year old so much, and constantly! This post was included in the Unschooling Blog Carnival for October 2012. My oldest asked as...
