Glad All Over


I've been on a Dave Clark Five kick recently, so that song is stuck in my head. Did you know they started their group to raise money for their football (american= soccer) team, and nearly surpassed the Beatles in popularity?
Surprisingly, Dave Clark isn't the main singer of the group; Mike Smith is.
 Dave Clark started the group, managed it, and played the drums.

But enough of my random trivia. :)

However,  "Glad All Over" serves as a pretty good post title, as Becca and I are both very glad that Sarah Jane had a healthy litter on Tuesday!


Her grand total of kits is...

One.


Yep, just one.

It was quite surprising, but everything else seems normal and both kit and mama are doing wonderfully.
I guess it will be a spoiled little bunny, getting all of Mama's attention and lots of hugs from us. :)


We also have a long overdo Liebster Award from Paige to post about, so onto that next!

Thanks Paige!



As usual, Becca's answers will be blue and mine (Bethany's) will be purple.


1) What is the long term goal for your blog?
To keep sharing what we are doing with friends and family.
Ditto :)

2) What have you enjoyed the most about blogging so far?
Meeting so many like minded young ladies.
Ditto :)

3) Peanut butter + chocolate or mint + chocolate?
Hmmm...Peanut butter + chocolate
mint + chocolate = Yummy!!

4) For your birthday, would you rather have your mom or sister 
cook you special meal or go out to eat?
Oh, that's hard! Maybe, going out to eat. Then no one has to wash dishes!
I'll have to agree and skip the dishes. :)

5) Series or stand alone books?
I don't know if I can choose! 
Oh dear! Both, both favorites! :0

6) What version of the Bible do you prefer?
We use a few different versions in our house; New International Version, New King James Version, and English Standard Version, so it's difficult to say. Most of what I've memorized from the Bible is NIV, but for just reading and studying, I really like my NKJV study Bible.
I really like the ESV.

7) Do you journal your studies in scripture?
I should, since I've been journaling more, but not really. If I have my Bible time in the evening, then I'll write down a verse or two that stood out to me.
Ummm... no.
  I like the idea of journaling but I am terrible at actually taking the time to do it.

8) If you were to host a period costume event, what era would it be?
Victorian would be fun; a big victorian ball.
Oh yes! yes yes yes! We could dance the polka :)

9) Do you spend your day in bare feet, socks, or shoes?
Barefoot in the summer, otherwise, socks.
Ditto :)

10) If you could have a gift card to any clothing store, including online, what would it be for?
Modcloth. I love their vintage inspired styles!
Either Modcloth or eShakti.

11) If I were to visit you in your hometown, what would be the first place you'd want me to see?
Well... there's not much to see in our little town. 
You could come to our house. 


Eleven random facts about Bethany:
1) I like making up my own crochet patterns. 
 2) I want to learn how to play the lute.  
3) I greatly dislike mushrooms. 
  4) Before our family decided to homeschool, I went to kindergarten twice.   
5) Sometimes my eyes look more green than brown.  
 6) I have a bad habit of starting a book before finishing another.

    1. Thanks Joy, fun answers! Edmund is quite a dashing name for a little rabbit. It's funny, because Becca and I keep calling it "him" even though we don't know what it is yet, and most of the names we try are for boys too. :)
