Sparkly Red Scarves and Holiday Shopping

Posted by Editormum on 1 December 2013 in News Commentary |

With all the stories of people fighting for towels in the Wal-Mart aisles, trampling people to death to get into the store for a $98 television, and trying to commit vehicular homicide when the cops intervene, I thought it might be nice to share a story of Thanksgiving weekend shopping that will warm your heart […]

New Traditions

Posted by Editormum on 22 November 2012 in Uncategorized |

This year, the boys and I are trying out what may become a new Thanksgiving tradition for our family. The “big family” — my grandmother, my parents, me and my brothers, their wives, and all of our kids — got together for Thanksgiving dinner last weekend at Mom and Dad’s. I spent Saturday acting as […]

Knights in Shining Armour Do Exist

Posted by Editormum on 18 December 2011 in Uncategorized |

So I went out shopping today. Silly thing to do, a week before Christmas, but I had stuff to get. So. I left home at noon. At 7 p.m., I came out of Target to find that someone had parked an extended-cab pickup truck next to my CRV in such a way that there was […]

Why I Love My Dad

Posted by Editormum on 14 February 2011 in Uncategorized |

I’ve written before (several times) about why I think my dad hung the sun, moon, and stars. But I don’t know that I’ve ever mentioned one thing that he does that touches me deeply. All my life, my dad has given my mom cards. All the time. Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, anniversary … and […]

A Whirlwind Week

Posted by Editormum on 31 December 2009 in Uncategorized |

It’s been a week since I posted, and it’s been a whirlwind. Really. Work, mostly. Lots of year-end stuff to prepare, and a new year to get things set up for. And since the entire family was sick on Christmas, we had our family celebration today. Very nice. I got a lovely set of cookbooks […]

Look Beyond the Baby in the Feedbox

Posted by Editormum on 24 December 2009 in Uncategorized |

So we’ve talked about this special Baby who came into this world, why He came, and the circumstances into which He arrived. But the story doesn’t end with the birth of a boy baby. Oh no. If that were the end of the story — well, it wouldn’t be much of a story. No! A […]

Who’s the Baby in the Feedbox?

Posted by Editormum on 23 December 2009 in Uncategorized |

I closed yesterday’s post by saying that Christmas is all about the baby in the feedbox. Because that Baby was Someone special. God incarnate, come to tread on the soil of His creation, to rectify the wrongs done by the creatures He’d created, and restore them to fellowship with Him. Do you know that story? […]

Look at the Baby in the Feedbox

Posted by Editormum on 22 December 2009 in Uncategorized |

It’s Christmas time, and what attention can be pried away from the presents and the parties is focused on a feedbox in the stables of a second-rate hotel in a small farming town in Israel. No, seriously. Did you ever stop to think how the Christmas story told in the Gospels would sound if it […]

The Bonus — More Answered Prayer

Posted by Editormum on 12 December 2009 in Uncategorized |

This has been a very tough year for my family, economically speaking. The recession really hit us hard, and we had to cut back really hard to make things work. Why, then, I can hear you asking, did you guys take a ten-day vacation to the beach?! Well, the kids and I talked about it. […]

An Overlooked Economic Indicator

Posted by Editormum on 11 December 2009 in Frugal Living |

I’ve worked for the same company for five years, and this will be my sixth year of tracking the gifts sent to our company during the holiday season. (Okay, the Christmas season. I’m a Christian, and I celebrate Christmas. But my bosses are Jewish; they celebrate Hanukkah. Makes life interesting.) Anyway, for six years, I’ve kept […]
