Bloody Bandages and Imagination
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Danielle Bean in Just me on Tuesday, August 10, 2010
(See writing sample at bottom of post)
My kids like to write and share stories with each other and their friends. I don’t think too much about it, especially in the summertime when we take a break from official “schooling.”

Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Danielle Bean in Just me on Monday, August 09, 2010
I got a hugely positive reaction when I posted a video featuring a comedy act from Brian Regan on my own blog (especially from my kids, most of whom now have the video memorized). So I decided to look for some other clips of his stuff to share here.
Brian grew up in a large family—one of eight children. There’s a lot of his stuff on YouTube, but this hilariously accurate bit about kids’ party games... READ MORE
