Love is Alive and Well

I could try to describe the visible love between my Aunt and Uncle...or you can watch this video they did a few years ago for their synagogue and, especially at the end, see it for yourself. This video leaves me beaming and with tears in my eyes every single time I watch it. Enjoy.

Overheard at the grocery store:

Mother: "How old will I be this year? Wait, how old am I right now?"
Daughter: "46"
Mother: "So that's how old I am right now, I'm 46? Are you sure?"
Daughter, and sons: "BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

I am choosing to keep the names of the parties private in order to protect the innocent. Or elderly, whichever you prefer.

Homeschoolers ROCK! :-)

This is not meant to insult ANY public schoolers, there just seems to be a wave of anti-homeschooling again and I get tired of it. It seems no matter how many compliments my kids receive, no matter the wonderful forward progression of Zachary, people still feel it necessary to say the kids would be better off not homeschooling. Puzzling as always, lol.

Why in the world do people find it just fine to express that to homeschoolers, yet the vast majority of homeschoolers will not say that to public schoolers?? Anyway, this article was quite timely for me Homeschool World-Some Fascinating Facts about Homeschoolers.

Life Lessons from Zachary

Think Outside the Box: This child as a toddler could create McGyverisms better than McGyver himself. Anyone could walk to a door, turn the knob and open the door. Zachary looped yarn through the poles of his crib, around the glider, and attached it to the doorknob so that when the glider rocked just right, the doorknob turned and the door opened.

Life Lesson Learned: A solution might seem obvious and easy; don't assume it's the only answer. Study, observe, evaluate, and learn--and while you might end up with the same result, you'll have a lot more fun getting there.

Valentine's Day Dinner!

I was having a hard time deciding what to make for dinner, being limited in ingredients. Sooooo...this is what I came up with!


Mini deep dish heart shaped pizzas :o) I am so happy! They will be complemented well with our dessert that was also our breakfast snack, lol:

The recipe for this is from AllRecipes.com <--- click there...the recipe originally called for applesauce, the poster of the recipe changed it to sour cream, but I used applesauce and they were GOOD!

I am surrounded by love, I am so grateful for the Valentine gifts that are my children. I hope you had a beautiful, love filled day.
