There is no shortage of sharing these days thanks to the wonderful world wide web. I receive many forwarded emails from my dads, and I see many friends posting via Facebook and other such media various content created by others. Below is one share that I decided must be shared again! I’m not sure these…

Birthdays
Birthdays are a pretty big deal here in the Campbell home. We really enjoy celebrating each other’s special days, usually for more than just that one day. But that one day is a circled day on the calendar and a number that carries more meaning than others. We love the months of February, March, July,…
It’s Official: We’re A Big Family
We’ve been a family of eight for quite a while now. Coming up on three years this July! So, in many ways, we’ve been a big family for a good long while. But now, you might say it’s official. 🙂 We are picking up our new-to-us, 12-passenger, Ford E-350 XLT big red van! These larger…
Project: Backyard Ice Rink (Part 4)
A few people have been asking, “So how’s that ice rink of yours doing?” In that most of them live in the same region that we do, and have experienced this unusually warm winter along with us, I usually give them a wry smile and then gauge whether they are truly up for the full…
Tim Tebow: The Power of Belief
Tim Tebow is really not that good. At quarterback. Have you noticed? Before his 80-yard TD pass on the first play of overtime in his first NFL playoff game, Tebow was a “magical” 9 for 20 for 236 yards and 1 TD. (That yardage total is actually pretty impressive on only 9 completions!) The best…
Tradition, Tradition!
As far back as I can remember, my family has always celebrated New Year’s Day with a big meal featuring pork, sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, and corn bread. My dad enjoys throwing in some baked clams, but I’ve chosen to leave those out of our version of the family tradition… 🙂 This year was no different….
Project: Backyard Ice Rink (Part 2)
(continued from yesterday’s post) We had heard that some people do just fine by stitching two sheets together with waterproof tape. I did a bit more research online and found waterproofing repair tape was indeed a real product, and might actually work. And it might have, had the weather cooperated. And, had the second piece…
Project: Backyard Ice Rink (Part 1)
We’ve got a project underway here at the Campbell home. We’re trying to freeze a large portion of our back yard. (Well, more accurately, a large quantity of water, covering our back yard…) One thing is for sure: we’ve learned quite a bit of what not to do along the way! It all started with…
Unpredictable
Life is full of unpredictability. We can often live under the illusion that we know what’s coming, that we are in control, but really… life throws you a curveball more often than not. And that includes the NFL. 😉 As you may know, if you’ve frequented this blog, the Campbell family enjoy a weekly seasonal…
So Cliché
It’s football season, and this year’s campaign is no different than any other. Each team is going to be taking it one game at a time, giving 110%, and leaving it all on the field, hoping to come away with a victory. When the game begins, when the chips are down, if you’ve put in…
