sleuthing out my missing blog post
This weekend I will begin my yearly summer journal preparations. This time I PROMISE I'll have attachments for you to use or to tweak to your personal liking. As part of our yearly tradition I always prepare things for our kids to MEMORIZE. Poetry, scripture, quotes and such.
This year, I wonder if you'd help? I'd love any quotes, poems or thoughts that are meaningful to you-they might be short (for my younger set) or longer. Serious or funny. Whatever has inspired you - send it on to me! I'll post them along with the other printables and you can share this tradition with us!
thank you in advance for helping me make summer a meaningful time for me and for my children. Happy Weekend!

Same thing happened to me. So confused, I clicked on "new post" and then it said blogger was down. I tried again later and everything was back to normal!
funny, your cookie post hit my reader twice - so it was out there somewhere.... glad it reappeared!
Hey Katie - Blogger went down... It was not just your post it was everyone's! It should show back up. :) They are getting everything back to normal slowly but surely
My post did the same thing. I went to look if any comments were on my blog and it was gone. It had an error message when I tried to look into my previous post, saying their was an issue and they were in the process of fixing it. I thought I went AWOL, I kept asking myself did I post in the night and delete it or what. I was glad when it re-appeared, and glad your came back also. If you want to check out my blog it is... stephsnewbeginning.blogspot.com. Your family is adorable, and I love your updates. Take care and have a great summer.
love, Stephanie Bohn
Hi Katie! I had a post and comments disappear a couple of days ago, too...and now they're all back. So did my SIL - something must be up with Blogger.
As for a poem suggestion - though not probably super original, I love If by Rudyard Kipling. I memorized it in 9th grade and it was a great guide for my teen years. :)
Katie - I'm kind of a dork and apologize for commenting AGAIN, but I'm kind of a quote nerd and like a lot of them...here are a couple more of my favorites that you might like:
"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good."
"Goodness is uneventful. It does not flash. It glows."
-David Grayson
"Your word is the gift that comes directly from God...it is through the word that you manifest everything...your intent manifests through the word. What you dream, what you feel and what you really are, will all be manifest through the word."
- Don Miguel Ruiz
"While there is a chance of the world getting through it's troubles, I hold that a reasonable man has to behave as though he were sure of it. If at the end your cheerfulness is not justified, at any rate you will have been cheerful."
-H.G. Wells
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.
-Margaret Nadauld
Katie,
I was just thinking about your amazing summer journals this morning and how I would love to do that for my kids! You are truly an inspiration and the best mom ever! Thanks for your example!
Sorry, no quotes off the top of my head!
Miss you guys!

here are a few favorites:
"Preach the gospel at all times, and when necessary use words." St. Francis of Assisi
"Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love." Mother Teresa
"Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing." Thomas Jefferson
"Whatever weakens your reason, whatever impairs the tenderness of your conscience, whatever obscures your sense of God, whatever increases the authority of your body over your mind, whatever takes away your relish for things spiritual, that is sin to you, however innocent it may seem in itself." Suzanna Wesley (mother of John Wesley)
can't wait to read more about summer journaling!
any time something wanky happens with the computer, the first thing you should consider is a virus/malware/trojan possibility. if you have any programs that will "clean" your system, scan it and make sure to eliminate that possibility. it's so easy to pick one up today that it's important to be prepared against them. ♥
Some of my favorites in my office:
"Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want"
"There is no growth inside you comfort zone, and no comfort inside your growth zone"
"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge give" -James Madison
"Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave." - Lord Brougham
