I was so excited to learn that B& N picked up my book on the Nook! Bone Marrow Biopsy Day is now available.
I knew Amazon had picked up my two books, but didn't know B&N had.
That's my exciting news for the day!

From Pearl harbor to Hiroshima
I love books! As I am fond of telling people, my husband doesn't worry if I tell him I am going shopping for clothes, but panics if I tell him I am going to the book store. Interactive books are even better. From Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima: The War in the Pacific is an excellent book for kids (and adults!). We've had fun not only reading the pages, but pulling out the replicas of original telegrams and even the notes of President Roosevelt's address to Congress.
My youngest is doing a research paper on Pearl Harbor this year, so we purchased this book for his studies. I really like how it is a simplified version of each campaign in the Pacific, setting up very nicely how Japan came to attack the United States at Pearl Harbor and finishing with each of the battles in the Pacific.

Bone Marrow Biopsy Day
Many years ago, I wrote a book called Bone Marrow Biopsy Day. Amazon picked it up two or three years ago. Very exciting stuff. Have you ever wanted to know what a BMB looks like?
Recently, someone in England contacted me about using pictures from the Shwachman-Diamond America website for a nursing article to teach nurses about the bone marrow aspiration and biopsy procedure. We are always eager to help teaching efforts!
Blast from the past- Joseph has always wanted pictures of all his medical procedures. This one bone marrow biopsy day in 2007, Dr. Harris brought our camera into the OR with the boys and captured great photos. We made a photo book to bring with us on subsequent hospital visits. At the urging of Dr. Harris and the nurses, I created the book -- we've donated these to CCHMC and our local Hem/onc clinic.Joseph had the nurses sign his book and had Dr. Harris sign it as photographer. Too cute.
Here are a few pictures from Bone Marrow Biopsy Day 2007:

Consoling the Heart of Jesus
I just started reading Consoling the Heart of Jesus
It is a wonderful way to learn about and incorporate the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius into your life. It is set up to be read in a weekend, but can be read over the course of a month or two, as well. It is a do-it-yourself retreat. So far, I love this book!

The Fulfillment of All Desire
It's a book, but the title really fits our last week, too. I'm only on the first chapter, but after reading the introduction, how to use the book and half of the first chapter, I am hooked. The Fulfillment of All Desire is amazing. It is a spiritual retreat that one can take alone or with a group. I think it will be a great addition to my spiritual journal, too. Fr. Groeshel gives the book amazing reviews. It starts off the same way as Opus Dei. We are all called to holiness. Through these readings and reflection questions, I hope to come closer to God.
Here is a quote from the book that I found helpful: "...ultimately, it's not up to us to become saints. We don't make ourselves holy. God makes us holy. It is His work, not ours. All we have to do is ask for His help, be open to His help, and cooperate with Him as that help is given."
For a few years now, I've felt like all I do is go through the motions. Not always... but it certainly isn't what it used to be. I BELIEVE everything the Church teaches and have faith that His will is perfect. I just don't always feel like He is working in my life. Amid what I call "medical chaos", I've always been able to feel something or at least have inner peace. I feel like I've lost anything I ever had. Don't know where it went, of course.
I talked to a priest friend yesterday for spiritual direction. He used the analogy of an [old] golf ball. When you cut it open, there is a core covered in what looks like rubber bands. If you cut one of the rubber bands, then the entire thing unravels. That pretty much sums up my life, except I have many things trying to cut those rubber bands simultaneously! He suggested that I need to find out how to keep my inner core at peace even when the rubber bands are unraveling. Then suggested this book. Aren't we all trying to do the same thing each day? Sometimes, I wonder if I'm trying too hard to feel something. I don't think I do, but you know when we try too hard, we somehow miss things that are right in front of us. I always say that God picked the wrong person for my life, that I'm not a saint and that I won't become a saint. I fail miserably at carrying my cross. Not for lack of trying, but rather I don't feel I do it well!
Matthew is back to normal and hopes to play in his games this Saturday (his team plays two games). Joseph is in a lot of pain. Bad headache Sunday and knee pain the last two days. He's had a difficult time getting around. Even Matthew felt sorry for him, so you know the pain is bad. We've been battling with starting Neurotin, but God always makes things clear. Thankfully so! I need to figure out how Baclofen fits into the picture, which will come soon enough.I know that God will make it clear.
We received a huge blessing last week. Our pastor purchased a few of the boys' prescriptions. We also had a few friends who wanted to help. God really does provide for our every need. I know that He does. $359 in prescriptions this week! Seeing the tangible evidence of it in our daily lives increases our faith and trust in Him. When Chris was laid off for 9 months (many years ago), my mantra was, "God is preparing a better place for us." We continued to see God at work and providing for our every need. It was amazing, Chris would get a contract flight and get paid just as our COBRA (insurance) was due. God provided a better place for us-- he moved us closer to the boys' core group of doctors. We'd been driving a 3 hour round trip 3 plus times a week to see them, and God moved us 20 minutes away. He moved us right where we needed to be.
You'd think that this would be enough for me, right? Most days, it really is. Other days, not so much. I'm only human, you know. Living with the boys constant medical issues can sometimes blind us to our many blessings. We do worry about how we will pay for medical bills, prescriptions and trips to the specialists in other states. We probably shouldn't, but at the same time, God wants us working to take care of them, right?
In other news, I've almost finished creating our shirts for the Energy Walk for Life this Saturday in Charlotte. Our team has raised $495 for the UMDF. It will be a busy day. Up early, drive to Charlotte for the walk, then home for football games. One of the event coordinators asked me to donate a few cards to give to the doctors attending. I made five of my Mito Awareness cards. I was honored that she asked me to make them! It is going to be a great day! We'll get to meet other Mito families and work with them to fund a cure!

From Seed to Skillet
This past weekend I had a date night with hubby (this doesn't happen often!). We went to dinner and the headed to the book store! I purchased a book titled From Seed to Skillet It is a wonderful gardening book! Since we've already started pruchasing the seeds for our garden this year, I was very excited to get my hands on this book! I'd seen an interview with the author and knew I'd love this book to pieces. Some people buy clothes, I buy books.
The author goes into detail about growing vegetables from seed. Complete with gardening tips. composting tips, how to start the seed, care for the young plants all the way to harvest. THEN the book includes recipes to use with your fresh garden produce. There is even a section on how to build beds and raised beds for your garden.
We love to garden, so this book is an excellent addition to our gardening section in our library. Over the years, my children and I have gardened for many reasons. We've made specific animal gardens (our bunny garden) and some for butterflies and insects, too. We love to have plants that attract bees to the yard to help pollenate all of the flowers we love so much and we have plants that attract butterflies and feed the caterpillars. We love to make pumpkin pie and pumpkin soup from the wonderful pumpkins we grow, salsa and salad with our tomatoes and we love to feed our bunny fresh carrots. Joseph picked up catnip seeds in honor of our new pet, Valentine, this season.
I like Heirloom veggies because I know I can collect the seed from the produce to grow more plants the following year. Heirloom varieties are varieties that have been around for over half a century or longer and whose seed is able to produce future generations of vegetable plants. I'd love to hear what you are planning in your garden this year. We are looking forward to spring and are already getting seeds started in our "little greenhouses". Happy gardening and happy eating! This book will help you do both!

Persuasive Compositions and Constitutional Books
My oldest is currently working on a five paragraph persuasive composition. He chose the topic Why Christians have the right to display religious symbols in public places. He started coming up with reasons, which then lead him to looking closer at our founding documents and the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. Who were these men, what shaped their belief that we all have unalienable rights and the right to religious freedom?
We have many books on the founding documents in our home. We also have copies of the founding documents! Matthew pulled these off the shelf to help with his composition:

A Patriot's History of the United States
Looking for a great history book? This is it! A Patriot's History of the United States by Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen. I've been reading this 900 page book and absolutely loving it. It starts with Columbus' great discovery and goes through the War on Terror.
I bought it in celebration of the outcome of the November 2010 election.

The Promise
I have the book and my mother-in-law gave me the book on CD. The Promise by Father Jonathan Morris is excellent. The subtitle is "God's Purpose and Plan for when Life Hurts" . It has really been helpful! The book contains three parts:
1) God on Trial: the doubts, the dismay, the queations, the complaints
2) Spiritual and Emotional Healing: The pain, the problem, the truth-telling
3) Principles for Freedom-Living: The path to acceptance and transformation
If you have ever wondered why an all loving God allows suffering, this book is for you! The next book I want to tackle, after I finish reading Julia Childs' book "My Life in France" is: "Having a Mary Heart in a Marth World"

Books, Books, oh joy!
The day the new school books arrive is always joyful. The books actually arrived yesterday, but we were too busy with hospital appointments to open the boxes. The boys were BUGGING me today to open the boxes...I mean BUGGING Me and BEGGING. I sure wish this enthusiasm lasted all year. All three of them went through each and every book. They are all excited about the new history books they have received. Ask me again in a few weeks--I am sure the history book will no longer excite them when they have to read it and answer questions daily. ha ha
Our youngest has some OCD issues and was in a panic because he doesn't like where we have the shelf this year. He had a meltdown when it came time to put his books on his bookshelf. oh My. He told me we needed to move the piano, the desk, the shelf, etc. Homeschooling a child with OCD issues is quite challenging. He has been upset all morning about his book shelf. Lying on te floor, rolling around....and now is putting his books on his shelf in alphabetical order. The other two had their books on their shelves in a minute. :-)Before bed last night, I just stuck his books on the shelf......this morning he's been working on it. Oh My!
Hard to believe that we are starting our tenth year of homeschooling! We will hopefuly be back up and running with exciting homeschooling events soon. Our youngest has a minor surgical procedure in a few weeks in Philly and we are trying to plan some sort of educational field trip.
Best wishes to all of you for a wonderful school year!

Catholic Education: Homeward Bound
Several people have asked me for book recommendations -- I do have a few on homeschooling. Kimberly Hahn and Mary Hasson wrote a book titled: Catholic Education: Homeward Bound that was first published in 1996. I read it before we ever started homeschooling. Mary Kay Clark (founder of Seton Home Study School) also wrote a book titled Catholic Homeschooling that I also found useful. If you are considering homeschooling, these are great resources.

Garden Fun
Spring is almost here! Break out the seeds, dust off your garden tools and get out in the yard! Kids love to play in the dirt and watch things grow. We've done some wonderfully fun activities over the years. I recently published an article on finding and using color in nature. Kids love to crush plant matter and color Easter eggs and paint art masterpieces! The article describes a bit about doing just that. We also love to garden and compost.
Two of my favorite books on gardening with children are:
Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots: Garedening Together with Children by Sharon Lovejoy
Learn and Play in the Garden: Games, Crafts and Activities for Children by Meg Herd
Last year we grew tomatoes, mint, cayenne peppers, chives, cilantro and our flowers. I have a particular love for roses! We made a simple salsa from the peppers and tomatoes. My youngest just loves tomatoes! Emeril has two cookbooks for children and in one of them there is a recipe for mint peas. My children love to cook the peas using mint from our garden. I wasn't so sure how it would turn out, but they ended up being quite tasty. We spent most of the late summer and fall figuring out the best way to dry the peppers and now have an abundance of crushed red pepper. My youngest son is on a quest to make hot sauce. We may attempt that this year. I tried to find easy instructions for preparing pepper mash, but was unsucessful! maybe this year......
Our tulips are starting to come up, our daffodils have bloomed and froze, our star magnolia tree has also bloomed and frozen! We've for crocus in bloom along with a few grape hyacinths blooming. I love spring. Not only do we celebrate Jesus' rising from the dead, we get to experience earth's renewal and we are able to experience God's love through His creation! There is no end to what you can do with the beauty around you-- we've made rose potpourri, handmade paper (I hope to post about this in the future) and all sorts of wonderful things from our garden.

Berry Smudges and Leaf Prints
I love making paints from nature. I've even colored Easter Eggs using crushed blueberries. Several years ago, I came across this wonderful book titled: Berry Smudges and Leaf Prints Finding and Making Colors from Nature. It was an answer to a prayer-- it was my dream book!
This book has craft projects and recipes for making colors from nature. Lots of fun! One year, we had an Indian birthday party for Joseph-- we had a Teepee and everything (grandma and grandpa gave hte bosy a 7ft teepee one Christmas!). We painted our own headbands and also did buffalo skin paintings. I used paper bags for the buffalo skins. We torn big shapes from teh bags and wadded htem up to make them look like worn buffalo skins. Thekids then helped to make paints from plantsin the yard. It was a lot of fun!
