Vanessa's Vignettes: October 2012
http://vanessahoussian.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 8, 2012. Progress with food intolerances. And watching movies like Forks over Knives. And Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I'm pretty convinced that dairy isn't good for anyone and should be avoided anyway (and if you're crying right now "WHAT? But it's good for you, and you need the calcium" then I suggest you ditch the milk and eat green leafy veggies for your calcium, while reading The China Study. Still, perhaps I will now get to start making our own sour dough bread. That would be great.

Vanessa's Vignettes: September 2012
http://vanessahoussian.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 29, 2012. Expectations - tools of misery or joy! I've learned a thing or two about expectation management from the Dutch weather, and from having an autistic child (or children in general). Now I'm working on applying the same principle to my family. In theory it should be simple, right? Today however, I did a really supreme job of being miserable thanks to the expectations I set. 1 I will be able to sleep in a little. 2 The kids will play nicely together or alone and occupy themselves.

Brian and Shawntel Ashcroft Family Blog. Friday, March 18, 2011. Swimming on St. Patrick's day. I can't believe it has almost been a years since we left the Netherlands and headed on this adventure back home. It has been so wonderful to be home, to be near family and to participate in family activities. It has taken me more then a year to get back to blogging but I decided it was time for me to start. So here is my first blog since being back in the states. Happy St. Patty's day! The Arizona Blake Family.

Vanessa's Vignettes: Our very first Pakjesavond and first snow
http://vanessahoussian.blogspot.com/2012/12/our-very-first-pakjesavond-and-first.html
Friday, December 7, 2012. Our very first Pakjesavond and first snow. The first snow has fallen and the kids could not be more excited. We got to use their new snow discs, snow boots, and the snow could not have been more perfect for snow man making. Aaron and I split the fun equally. I took the boys sledding, and he built the snow family. Then a Santa Clause movie with home made Wassail. It was a perfect evening. He had been asking for one for the last two weeks.

wandering seals: December 2013

Tuesday, December 31, 2013. Christmas, this year (2013). Did y"all have an enjoyable Christmas? Ours was enjoyable. We saw a pretty hilarious Christmas pageant at church (it was no Best Christmas Pageant Ever, but still.). There were serious philosophical discussions about Santa's ability to consume so many cookies (still unresolved, ahem). The pups got too many gifts and ate a lot of candy. Business as usual around here, I suppose. Links to this post. Tuesday, December 24, 2013. Sure, why not? The stuff...

Sunday, January 26, 2014. We ski (in connecticut). And by "we" I mean everyone in the family except me. I am not really a skier and I don't feel bad about it; but, I lounge in a ski hut like a champ. Last weekend, we wandered over to New Hartford, Connecticut to Ski Sundown. Papa and the boys hadn't yet skied the snows of our own state, so we thought it might be worth the try. It was good fun. Everyone skied at least one blue trail, and I drank a lot of coffee. Which is not a bad thing at all. The Elegan...

Saturday, May 5, 2012. Mormon Trivia: My magical Mormon Underwear! I'm back again with a behind the scenes view of a typical, faithful, active, striving-to-become-better member of the Mormon Church, properly called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In today's blog post, I'll give you a bit of insight into why our underwear is so magical. I have been reading a lot of confusion about Mitt Romney's underwear. Why exactly are we discussing underwear in a presidential campaign? The wearing of t...

Sunday, February 12, 2012. Can Mormons have more than one wife? The following is not an official church sanctioned message. This is simply how I as a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints deal with the issue of polygamy in our church history, and why I do not leave the church just because at one point it did practice polygamy. So first some facts:. Yes, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints did practice polygamy at one point in their history. Behold, David and.
