The places I’ve been

August 14, 2006

I surf the internet. A lot. I like it because I never know where I’ll end up and there is no shortage of interesting things to discover and learn.

Every once in a while I go on a surfing binge. Twas the case for the last two weeks. Lots and lots of surfing. Lots. These binges always seem to coincide with weeks that are particularly challenging in the way of childrearing. I guess it’s because surfing the internet provides the illusion that I’m running far, far away.

Anyway, I thought I’d share with you some of the places I’ve been…

Remember the Milk. It’s a very handy online to-do list/task manager. Now if only I could actually DO the things I need to do…

A Nation of Wimps. An interesting an thought-provoking article.

DesiringGod.com. This site is chuck full of good stuff. I especially like John Piper’s Magnifying God with Money series. (Here’s Part 1A to get you started.)

The Evolution of Mom and Preparation for Parenthood. Ain’t this the truth.

PocketMod: The Free Disposable Personal Organizer. Now here’s a clever trick. And a great tool for that budding author in your life too.

LifeHacking Your Grocery List. Wanna take control of your menu planning and make cooking a whole lot easier? Look no further.

Tumbleweed Tiny House Company. I’m going to live in one of these someday.

Dealing with Bullies. A much-needed resource in our family lately. Unfortunately.

Make-a-Flake. Rather useless, but so very, very cool. The things people think of.

There. Now you know some of what’s been going on in my life.

    I’m enjoying your site! You sound like a lot of fun. I love my pastor’s wife - she gives my husband a hard time and he deserves it! She’s not ‘typical’ either. I like the ‘tiny house’ site…we’re actually contemplating something like this…to ’simplify’ our lives…hmmm…

    Simplify. Downsize. Yes. But I have one friend who thinks I’m crazy. “What are you talking about?! Your family is growing! You can’t downsize! Besides, those boys of yours are going to be so tall, you’ll need all the space you can get!”

    Maybe so, but I can dream can’t I?
