Tuesday, March 3, 2009 ~ My life, links and blog update *EDITED* |
Sometimes I wish I could slack off being consistent with blogging... and if you haven't noticed, that wish has half come true. I've been thinking about blogging, about my friends and about HTML tags and links often though - so I haven't forgotten! I'm trying to get back into a swing for blogging, and hopefully, I'll get there soon!
Anyway, there have been a few things I have worked on over the weeks. Not just me either; several weeks ago my brilliant sister Nomi drew me a Little Miss Giggles on her new Bamboo mat so I didn't have to worry about having illegally used a Little Miss Giggles Image. It is now on proud display on my banner and new button:
Isn't she wonderful? I haven't figured out all the bugs in a scroll box yet, so check out the 'notes' section for the HTML.
The latest Growing in Grace Magazine has just come out too! Please go take a look at March's issue, stuffed with articles on Temperance, Purim and gardneing. Check out our Girl of Grace too - Miss Jocelyn!
Also check out my other blog, www.homesteadblogger.com/Homemakersjoy, where you will find some recent articles on organizing!
This month we are studying Discretion personally and as a family... I hope to post something about it soon.
We've been enjoying the Jonathan Park CD's - adventure stories packed with scientific reasons for Creation! We are going to enjoy them... I'm sure you would too.
I'm going crazy with books right now - you can check out the books I'm reading on my Goodreads list.
What books are you reading? Are you reading something as a family read aloud? Our read aloud is Alex and Brett Harris' book: Do Hard Things. If you haven't heard of it before or seen their website, you can read all about Doing Hard Things at TheRebelution.com
Our Church is reading The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren 'together' for the forty days leading up to Easter. "Together" meaning we are all supposed to be reading the same chapters once a day on the weekdays, with a sermon on the PDL on Sundays and midweek Bible studies. Mum and Dad are leading one at our house, so Josh and I have had the opportunity to join in. We've studied two weeks already, and I'm really enjoying it! Have you read the book?
Recently we've been enjoying F Troop, an old tv show Mum and Dad used to watch. Have you seen it - adults and kids alike? We don't like new shows nearly as much as our old ones. It's funny - you really do forget that it's black and white as you get 'swept up' in the story.

I know what you mean about blogging. I don't really have a ton of ideas to post about... sigh.
Cool, we love the Jonathan Park CDs! Are you listening to them for the first time? |

| That's great!! I'm always excited when I find another HSBer who listens to JP! How many volumes do you have? Did you know they are planning on releasing Vol. 6 this spring? I'm excited to get it!! And, since you live in Australia, what do you think of the American accents? :o) Speaking of that, what do American accents sound like to you? I, of course, think of it as normal. *grin* |

I feel like I'm taking over the comments section on this post... but, um...
Yeah, we joke about Southerners, too. :o) Australian... well, I'm not even completely sure what it sounds like -- I mean, most everything we hear is either in American or British -- but I'm thinking, from what I remember, that it sounds kind of thick and like you use the back of your throat a lot -- like the "Y" sound. Am I making any sense at all? LOL! Does American sound kind of flat to you? |

| *screams* Oh, I knew I would end up doing that someday. Why, oh, why don't you let people delete/edit their comments???? Anyway, that last comment was from me, if you want me to, I'll explain in a PM. Sigh. :o) |

| On second thought, could you please delete that comment by LindsayLeanne? Thanks. Oh, and delete this one, too, and the one before it. What a mess. Sorry. |

Lil' miss Giggles... I think that describes you quite well!
I have the pictures from when you and your family were over at our house... what fond memories!
It's so good to see what you're up to!
Be blessed this week!

Jess,
Thanks so much for stopping by! I know exactly what you mean: blogging is a big commitment, and sometimes I would like to give it all up. Then I remember the ways God is using me, and somehow, I keep going. Even if I don't manage more than two or three posts a week. Quality matters more than quantity.
-Maria

G'day, greetings and salutations
Hi and welcome to Little Miss Giggles' blog! My name is Jessica Letchford, otherwise known as Jess, who loves life and despises sleeping in. Reading, organizing, ancient history, computers, crafts, school and writing are just some of my hobbies. I also extremely enjoy singing, playing the piano and praising and worshiping our Awesome God! Because of Jesus' death and resurrection, we can choose to live life, flying the banner of love and flag of joy …so have a wonderfully fantazgreat day!
As I have moved in the blog-o-world, you can find me at JessicaLetchford.wordpress.com where I write about God, crafts, my life and organizing! Hope to see you there and God bless!
This blog is for me to share the things I have been learning, the photos we’ve been snapping, and character sketches as I learn more about living for the glory of God.
