Spanking

June 8, 2009 by Carla

Carla: So yesterday, one of my Facebook friends had the following status update: “taught the preschool Sunday school today. During prayers, one kid said ‘thank you God for today and please no more spankies with the wooden spoon.’”

Going Green

May 30, 2009 by Carla

Carla: Yep, you’re in the right place. Caryn got all worked up (so what else is new) about the widgets (or lack thereof) on our previous theme, so we switched things up yet again to this lovely green goodness.

Seriously?

May 1, 2009 by Carla

Well I’ll just have to see if I can salvage something here. Thankfully, one of my FB friends is currently at a Christian conference of some sort and posted […]

Oprah Steals From Us…Again!

April 7, 2009 by Carla

Carla: Once again, Oprah has stolen our thunder. People’s Exhibit A: Monday’s show about the secrets of motherhood. I mean, didn’t we just talk about that?
So let’s try a new topic and see how long it takes for O to get her mitts on it and call it her own. I say we talk about […]
