Because We're at Disneyland, Top 5 of 2012

...because we are at Disneyland.

We really are!

We are at Disneyland for the first time as a family !!!

My parents planned-and-paid-for an incredible family reunion at Disneyland--
So we're here !!!

And we're so excited !!!
And we're super thankful !!!
(Can you tell?)

And this week (while I'm very much "unplugged")
I've scheduled a few "Top 5" posts just for fun.
They should *magically* appear...while we're at the Magical Kingdom.

And in the meanwhile, please pray for our house-sitters who will be staying here to care for the chickens and guinea pigs and dog and stick bugs and Madagascar Hissers.

Why We Don't Believe In Babysitters --let me just say...you'll see why...we don't believe in babysitters.


Helping a Pre-Reader (Phonemic Awareness is Important) --if you have a pre-reader, or a new reader, or a struggling reader...or you just want to help your child become a better reader, this post offers very practical suggestions of activities and books and resources that can help.


Four Years Ago Tonight --on the anniversary of Selah's death...missing her...but also just remembering the many ways God used others to show us "the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living".  If you know someone who is grieving, this post might give you some suggestions of practical-real-life-ways to come along side them.


Bringing Nature Indoors --ideas for bringing nature indoors (with some nature table specifics).  I actually think the post about the nature table that came a week or so later, was a better "nature post"...but...this one had the most page views (just trying to keep it honest here :).


A Chuppdate #3 (Chickens and Cheetos and Colsons) -- I'm honestly not sure why people liked this post.  It's a lot of random daily life stuff.  Maybe it was the Cheetos. Everybody likes Cheetos--right?
