How You Can Tell

Hallie's favorite cereal has long been a topic of discussion in our house. Is it Raisin Bran? Rice Krispies? or Honey Bunches of Oats?

This morning, Devin declared once and for all Honey Bunches of Oats the clear winner, and I couldn't help but agree - the evidence was clear.

In the event that you have also been wondering about the favorite cereal of someone in your life, I give you the process you can use to discover the truth for yourself.

How You Can Tell:

1. They eat four plus bowls of it every morning (every morning that it is available, that is).
2. The squeal in undeniable delight when it is placed in the cart at the grocery store.
3. This squeal must be of the surprise-trip-to-Disneyland-where-you-meet-Justin-Bieber variety of squeal.
4.The person in question kisses the box of cereal whenever the opportunity arises.

As Devin and I discussed the now undisputed favorite cereal, I wondered longingly, is there anything in my life that I love so much?  And as I asked myself that I was prepared to feel a melancholy wistfulness for my youth, when I was excitable and wild and loved things without abandon.  That's why I was so surprised when instead of that, I was immediately filled with a list of things that I do, indeed, love that much.

Bacon
Oreos
Christmas
Family
Al
Really Good Music
Easter Dresses for Little Girls
Spring Flowers

My name is Hallie Rose, and I love Honey Bunches of Oats.
What do you passionately, excitedly love?

    Fudge makes me pretty excited.

    I bet Jeff could come up with this list for me faster than I could.

    French fries. I get pretty excited about good french fries.

    Let the three year old in my live! :)

    I guess I am a sucker for Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies, plus chocolate eclairs, and Boston Creme Pie. I am impressed that Hallie is so healthy!

    love, MOMROSE

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporations and have big fanc

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stairs leading up (

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took
