Thank you for doing this Open House. I am looking forward to seeing what everyone else does for the holidays.

You have such a precious heart for your family. It sounds like you make a very special Christmas for your little boys.

Bless You,

Tiany,

I just noticed that I am #18 - On Our Journey Westward AND #19 - Cindy. I didn't add myself twice. I have no idea how #19 got there. If you are able to remove #19, that would be great. Thanks! :)

Hi! I am so sorry I linked up with your Open House when I thought I was linking up with Monday Meanderings. It appears as if there is no way I can remove it. If you can remove #21, please do. I feel bad people are going to come over looking for Christmas tradition and only find what I am doing this week! Sorry!! :(

Hi Tiany. I entered and am #25, but I typed by blog entry incorrectly. I couldn't copy & paste my url in and made a mistake typing it in by hand.
I forgot to add the .com.
How do I fix it?? Thanks! Holly

I would like to take part in this, but it may take awhile for me to get it written up!!! Your blog is beautiful. I am a home school mom but have not really connected to any home school blogs. I'm just not familiar with any. I have home schooled both children since kindergarten, and have loved every minute of it. my oldest is graduating this year, and my son is in 9th grade. It is hard to believe that I am so close to being done...it's kind of sad. I would love to be an encouragement or help in any way I can to the home school community. If God calls you to home school, we must persevere! The rewards are countless! It has been the best thing for our family. If you know of any way I can be an encouragement to the home schooling community, please let me know!!

I'll be back with my open house post ASAP!
GOD BLESS YOU!

Dec. 3, 2007 - Open House and allergies

Posted by Phyllis
Hi Tiany!
Its a good thing we believe in the God who gives second chances. Seems like several of us, myself included made mistakes in our first effort to post our links. My second link works but I don't know how to take off the first one that doesn't.

For you moms on a tight budget, or just in need of ideas I've put together a quick little e-book of inexpensive, cute, easy to make Christmas gifts that you can make with your children as gifts for family and friends. Just go to my site to download it free.

Also - allergies - as the wife of a Dr. I have a solution - generic Claritin - it sells by the name of Loratadine - I got my last supply at Sam's Club - very inexpensively. I've also found it at Dollar stores for $1 for a months supply. It is the same thing as Claritin but a lot of people don't recognize the drug name - I know I didn't until my husband pointed it out to me.

Have a great week at the open house. I know I can't wait to start exploring your different sites.

Hi Tiany!

I saw your comment on Mrs. Marlow's blog the other day. I just wanted to say that I made it safely back to Blogland, but the entire world over here has been turned upside down. I posted pictures of the flooding on my blog. Could you please say a prayer or two for the people who live around me? Many of them lost everything but the clothes they were wearing.

Thanks, Lyric

The Holiday Open House has been great and I've gotten to visit quite a few of them, maybe I can catch a few more when I get back from out of town on Sunday evening...after the Oprah Winfrey movie...LOL. One More Day is the name of it. Thank you for coming by and come again soon.

Tiany,

Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. I am so glad the Hanukkah readings are a blessing to you. I was blessed to find that you are hosting an Open House. I posted about this in my blog and hope it blesses others as well.

I finally posted my open house! Wow! I almost missed it!

By the way, Thanks for the wonderful posts on blogging and graphic stealing. I really do not understand all the "hotlinking" and things like that. I try not to use anything except graphics like yours for things like this. I think I am doing it right. Your links really helped!
