Monday Musings: Great Games for Little Kids
This is the earliest I’ve ever had my Christmas shopping done, and I must say I’m quite relieved to know the pressure is off to beat the clock. But for those of you who are still looking for gifts for your kids ages 3-8, I thought I’d post some Morrow Family Favorites to give you a hand. We love games here at Casa Morrow. Board and puzzle games particularly–especially when they make you think. (When you’re a homeschooler, you tend to look for games that require more of the players than simply rolling a die and moving some spaces.) One of our top favorites, which even my husband and I enjoy playing, is Richard Scarry’s Busytown....
Read MoreMonday Musings: Money, money, money…
Money is weird. Sometimes it physically hurts to spend it. Other times forking it over is like playing with Monopoly money. Sometimes $10 feels like a thousand and $100 feels like pennies. Sometimes someone else’s insurmountable financial obstacle is our chunk change. And sometimes we’re the ones with the insurmountable obstacle. That’s when friends rally and boost us over. Sandi’s fundraiser has been pledged $500 if we can raise $500 by 8:30pm on the 23rd. A thousand dollars added to our total would be incredible. But right now $500 feels like a million. And the $20,000 we set as our goal? I won’t even tell you how that feels right now. I...
Read MoreThursday Thoughts: Blog Blast Week Update
As of last Sunday, we had $1,372 in the coffers for Sandi. As of today, we have $1,497. This is great–but it’s still not enough. So I’ve written an email that I’m sending to friends who may not read my blog and asking if they’ll help us out. Here’s the letter I’m sending; you’re welcome to copy and modify it for your own mailing. Hey friends! Forgive the mass email–I’m blessed to have a lot of friends, but that makes it hard to send emails like this individually! Some of you have seen the posts I’ve been making on Facebook and my blog lately about the fundraiser for my friend and fellow author, Sandi Rog....
Read MoreMonday Musings: Post a blog, save someone’s life
We have declared this week Fundraiser for Sandi Rog Blog Blast Week. (So very catchy, yes?) Our goal is to get Sandi’s fundraiser in front of as many people as possible, and to ask them not only to please donate–even if it’s just $5–but to also post about the fundraiser on their own blog (or Facebook, or Twitter, or all three if they’re feeling really motivated). As of Sunday afternoon when I’m writing this entry, we have raised $1,372. That means we have $20,028 left to raise by Christmas Eve. We need 4,005 people to donate 5 bucks, and we’re done! Or, even better, 2002 people to donate 10 bucks. Math hurts my head, so...
Read MoreMonday Musings: Oh me of little faith
Last weekend I started a fundraiser for Christian author Sandi Rog. Those of you who have been around for a while may remember her story. The traditional treatments of chemo, radiation, and bone marrow transplant have proven ineffectual, and Sandi is now pursuing a new treatment that is not yet covered by insurance. It’s going to cost twenty thousand dollars. But I only set the fundraiser goal for ten thousand. Why? Because I was...
