We have so very much going on in the Amblin household that I am finding it hard to find the time and the words to write. One of my children is very ill. I have some health issues as well. For now, I am going to take a break from blogging. I will be back [...]

Vacation update
Posted in general musings/writings on September 8, 2009 | 2 Comments »
We just got back from a little mini-vacation at my parents’ house. They weren’t there actually. They were out of state visiting my sister and we were house-sitting, taking care of plants, etc. It was a nice change of location!
My parents live on the coast of our state, right off a sound. They have gorgeous [...]
Ever want to just scream?

Those of you who know us IRL know that we are facing a serious health issue with one of our children. I don’t blog much about it because he has asked that I respect his privacy. And I’m fine with that. Granted, for a words oriented, people girl like me, it’s hard to keep this out [...]

I just found this incredibly amazing blog written by a 20 year old serving in Africa. Wow…Here is a quote pulled from her blog:
There is a common misconception that I am courageous. I will be the first to tell you that this is not actually true. Most of the time, I am not brave. I [...]
Update on yesterday

I posted yesterday about the first week of school for my older boys. Mr 14 is loving his school! It’s the same school he attended last year as it is a small private school and goes from 1st grade to 12th grade. He even has the same teachers…and they are all his favorite [...]
Off to school with an empty house

Well, today is the day.
All 4 of my children are now in school all-day every day. For a former homeschooling mom like me, that’s quite a change. Yesterday was Mr 14’s first day back to school. He’s in 9th grade now. (yikes! where did that time go?) He had a great day and really enjoys [...]
One mama’s thoughts on Julie and Julia
Posted in general musings/writings on August 10, 2009 | 2 Comments »
So, I loved this movie! So much that I am wondering if perhaps I am a closet foodie. It was funny, touching, interesting, and rather inspiring to a fellow blogger. Not that I have a blog like Julie’s with thousands of followers. In fact, I know of only a handful of people that follow my [...]

My wonderful friends are taking me to see this movie in just a few minutes. It’s been a difficult summer here at the Amblin Household due to a medical situation with one of our children. Those of you who know us IRL and some of my online friends will understand when I talk about it [...]

Mr 5 is attending Kindergarten.
It’s a big step.
For him and for me.
We are in year-round schools and so his first week is this week. He has had a BALL ! Absolutely loves it. Which makes it much easier on this mama. This mama who held tightly while at the same time trying to let go [...]
Cinderella goes to the ball

I am taking my husband away for his birthday soon. We have grandparents coming to stay with the children (thank you!!) for 3 glorious days!
I chose a wonderful place with a 5 star Inn. It should be really fun, very romantic, and relaxing. We are both looking forward to it. We’re going to [...]
