    I bought two boxes of size 6 Huggies on clearance today, saving me $54.22 off the regular price!!! That doesn’t happen every day! The diaper company changed the packaging, and the grocery store wanted to get rid of the old style! I wish I could have bought more, but there were only two boxes left.

    I liked this memory trigger, even though it was boring. It did give me a smile at the end.

    Our Well Worn Harry Potter Collection

    | January 9, 2012

    Harry Potter Collection

    Harry Potter Collection

    This is our Harry Potter collection, although after I took the photo, most of the “books” at the bottom of the picture were trashed. If you could examine them, you would see that they were actually chunks and pieces of books that had been taped one too many times. Just too many pages missing.

    Philosopher’s Stone (had five copies, now have three)
    Chamber of Secrets (still have all four of our original copies)
    Prisoner of Azkaban (had four, now have two)
    Goblet of Fire (had four, now have two)
    Order of the Phoenix (had four, now have two)
    Half-Blood Prince (had two, now have one)
    Deathly Hallows (had two, still have two)

    L7 is in grade two, and we decided this term, that instead of doing the regular grade two readers for reading aloud, he, C10, and I are taking turns reading paragraphs aloud from The Philosopher’s Stone. Although a little more challenging, it is much less boring. He just has to slow down to sound out more words than he would in the readers.

    Jubilee Duggar’s testimony was in her humanity.

    | December 17, 2011

    After every miscarriage, parents wonder, “Why? Why did our baby have to die?”

    If we are ever given a glimpse of the answer to that question, I think it is in the case of precious Jubilee Shalom Duggar. She died, so her perfect little hand and her tiny feet could be seen by people everywhere around the world. Her testimony was in her humanity. She reminded us that every single one of us used to be that fragile and vulnerable. Her little life may have been all too brief, but indeed, “There is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world.” Her imprint is huge. She may be instrumental in helping to turn around the acceptance of the travesty of “choice”. Every day, thousands of little babies, just like Jubilee, are discarded like trash. They are sacrificed on the altar of convenience. May the Holy Spirit move in the hearts and minds of all who hear about the passing of Jubilee Duggar and see her tiny hand and feet. May their eyes be opened to the truth and as a result, act to protect all little ones like her.

    Jubilee Shalom Duggar

    Duggar Family Takes Controversial Photos of Stillborn Baby Girl

    Duggars hold memorial service for tiny baby Jubilee; photos stir controversy
    http://www.jillstanek.com/2011/12/duggars-hold-memorial-service-for-tiny-baby-jubilee-photos-stir-controversy/

    “[O]ne of the pictures gives a look at the fetal corpse’s tiny feet on the hand of… Michelle Duggar.”

    The lefty media cannot accept the humanity of the unborn. Can you believe they called precious Jubilee a fetal corpse! She is a mother’s child! How dare you!!

    And thank you, Amy Duggar, for sharing Jubile’s photos with the world, even though it was not the way the family had intended. You did not make a mistake.

    Michelle Duggar Expecting 20th Child at Age 45

    | November 8, 2011

    20 kids and counting! Michelle Duggar announces pregnancy
    http://www.jillstanek.com/2011/11/20-kids-and-counting-michelle-duggar-announces-pregnancy/

    Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar: ‘We’re Expecting Again!’
    http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20543449,00.html

    Jim Bob agrees: “If we had lived by fear after Michelle had preeclampsia after her second delivery, we would have missed out on all our wonderful blessings,” he says. “So many of her pregnancies have gone extremely well.”

    Who Are Your Favorite Harry Potter Characters?

    | September 10, 2011

    My favorite Harry Potter characters are:

    1. Snape ~ I loved him long before I knew his story – before he was a good guy.
    2. Luna Lovegood ~ I LOVE the scene in the last movie where many of the students were on the staircase at Hogwarts all wearing the same clothing, and Luna walked among them dressed in bright colors. Never afraid to be herself. Never afraid to stand alone.
    3. Tom Riddle (not Voldemort) ~ One of my favorite scenes was at the orphanage with Tom and Professor Dumbledore. Thus began the story of a child raised without love and being bullied…

    I encourage you to recognize the real evils in this world, and the imaginary world of Harry Potter is not one of them.

    Contagion

    | September 8, 2011

    Beware of the propaganda and scare tactics in an impressive marketing campaign beginning tomorrow in the form of the movie, Contagion. I am sure it will be a brilliant tactic to get many more people immunized. I believe, in the end, it will cause many more deaths, especially related to death fright conflicts, as well as vaccine damage. Remember, “Fear not.”

    Turn Around

    | July 22, 2011

    Johnny Cash & June Carter – Turn Around

    Turn Around
    Where are you going, my little one, little one,
    Where are you going, my baby, my own?
    Turn around and you’re two,
    turn around and you’re four,
    Turn around, you’re a young girl going out of my door.
    Turn around, turn around,
    Turn around, you’re a young girl going out of my door.

    Where are you going, my little one, little one?
    Dirndls and petticoats, where have you gone?
    Turn around and you’re tiny,
    turn around and you’re grown,
    Turn around, you’re a young wife
    with babes of your own.
    Turn around, turn around,
    Turn around, you’re a young wife
    with babes of your own.

    “But now I’m free”

    | July 22, 2011

    I’ve got no strings
    To hold me down
    To make me fret, or make me frown
    I had strings
    But now I’m free
    There are no strings on me
    ~ Pinocchio
