Jill Elizabeth Nelson asked me to guest blog over at the Christian Authors Network. Years ago a group of published authors decided to combine their resources and work on marketing together. What an honor for me, as an unpubbed, to make an appearance. Please go read it and leave a comment. I wrote it quickly […]

Mom and I write about relationships. We are a relationship. We want to dominate the relationship brand.

Black Friday Poem
Twas the day after turkeyAnd all through the houseWere the memories of yesterdayWith Kinfolk and Spouse.The taters and stuffingWere heaped up in bowls.The corn and zucchiniAnd butterflake rolls.Then apple and pumpkinAnd coconut pies.We knew that the caloriesWent right to our thighs.But love was abundantAnd laughter was rifeAnd we all thanked our GodFor this wonderful life.

Happy Thanksgiving!
By Christina Tarabochia on November 22, 2007 in Dollar Store, Family, Food, Thanksgiving, The Santa Clause
We had twenty-one people here today. To restate that more honestly, Mom and Dad had twenty-one people over. Because of my current condition, I was little help. I got off easily with doing the corn and the veggie tray. Though I did feel guilty as the other ladies slaved away in the kitchen and doing […]
Mike Huckabee for President
I’m not looking to turn this blog into a politic food fight, but I want to throw my heavy influence in Huckabbe’s camp. If everybody who’s ever voiced the “I like him, but he can’t win” statement would shut their mouths and vote for him, he stands a chance. If you haven’t seen this video, […]
Torn ACL
… for the MRI says so. The report is a bit sketchy, but there might actually be two tears. One part says “consistent with at least a partial tear of the ACL” and one says “consistent with a total tear.” The meniscus is totally intact, however, which is great news. I also have a “kissing […]
Weekend with the Berrys
There were a whole bunch of Berrys around this weekend. Kev’s brother and his family–well, half the fam–spent a few days with us. One of their sons was in Montana at Acquire the Fire. The other, whom we never actually got to see, was wrestling at my alum, Pacific University. I still can’t believe we […]
Ten Reasons to Keep Reading My Blog
Some of you might not read the blogger comments, but I must call attention to some nonsense that went on yesterday. It all started when the gorgeous Tammy Bowers–click to see Tammy age beautifully over 25 years–threatened to boycott my blog. She said this, in part, about me: “You speak French now too? On my […]
Homemade Ratatouille
This blog had been a little heavy lately, what with my parents and brother’s family almost dying in a fire and all, so let’s lighten it up a bit. Have you seen Ratatouille? Andrea had a sleepover at a friend’s house a few weeks ago. Kevin and I found one little pub-type theater still showing […]
Update on the Fire
I’m assuming that most of you readers know that the Mother Blog in my blog roll is my mother’s blog, but in case you didn’t, go read her stories about escaping the fire here: The Mother Blog. There is a horribly fantastic, well-written article with pictures at this link:East Oregonian. My brother’s sense of humor […]
