February 14, 2022 By Claire Annette Noland 1 Comment

Love Is…

For many of us, 1 Corinthians 13 is a verse close to our hearts. In fact, I am sure that many of us have it memorized and enjoy sharing it with those we love. Today I am sharing a book that was published in 2001 yet is timeless. I keep my copy near and often […]

Meet Mr. Ernie’s Literary Friends

I have always had a dog – and actually had four for many years. Sadly, disease and age took them away.  I spent a year traveling so it didn’t make sense to have a dog.  Then the pandemic set in and I realized how much I missed having a canine companion. Fortunately, a beautiful puppy […]

For your book shelf -Little Medusa’s Hair Do-Lemma

For many of our youngest children, Field Day is one of the first competitive group activities that they participate in. They […]

THE BIG BEACH CLEANUP – a call to action!

There is nowhere I’d rather be than on a beach where I can walk the shore and listen to the waves. But there is nothing that can ruin a beach walk more than trash. For years our family has participated in Coastal Cleanup Day so the book I am sharing today is one that is […]

SUNDAY RAIN

SUNDAY RAIN

Is there anything more fun for children than playing in the puddles left after a rainstorm? A big SPLASH is so satisfying. We don’t get much rain here in Central California so, when we do, it’s a big deal. Fortunately, a “March Miracle” rain coincided with the launch of Sunday Rain and  I’d like to […]
