New blogs on my blog

As you may have noticed, I have divided my blogs into family and other. I would like to say a little bit about them:

  • The Rebelution blog: This blog was started by the Harris twins. Their official definition of rebelution is "a teenage rebellion against the low expectations of an ungodly culture." They have really good, thought-provoking posts.
  • Cooking in Cast Iron and Zanks Iron Skillet: We got our mom a cast iron skillet for Mothers Day '07 and find these two blogs interesting.
  • Challies Dot Com: We found this blog on The Rebelution and really enjoyed it. It is also on Marie's blog.

Enjoy!!

New Planty!

This little plant has grown from peace flower (Spathiphyllum species). Other common names are White flag, white sails, and Spath flower. When the plant bloomed this summer we took the seeds and put them in this planter, not thinking that they would really grow! The plant beside it is what we call a prayer plant(Calathea amabilis/ Stromanthe amabilis).


This is the plant in the bathroom.

Thanks to PlantOasis.com for their scientific plant names.

In other news, it's supposed to get up to high of 65 degrees! It rained over the weekend; that's a lot different from the weather we are used to!

I also cannot wait for Janine to come home in 39 days! She will fly in on the 19th of December, and fly out on the 12th of January!!
