About Elisa
I am a work-at-home-mom with two babies; a six-year-old girl and a one-year-old boy. I stay very busy with two home businesses (teaching violin and wedding design), a business website, homeschooling my daughter and all the other things moms do. I love to read, write, sew, craft and cook. My blog is my place to relax, contemplate life, laugh a little and share some of what the Lord is doing in my life. Come on over and we'll have some tea and a chat!Website: http://www.theforsheyfour.blogspot.com

Old is New Again
By Elisa on March 7, 2009
It’s happening. My daughter is now reading all the books I remember loving as a child. It’s great, I love it. I get to re-live the great reads of my girlhood vicariously through her. And isn’t that what kids are for?

Her new word is “Classy”
By Elisa on February 28, 2009
And since I’ve been hearing this word a dozen or more times a day (often juxtaposed with “ta-aacky, Mama!”), I’ve got classy on the brain! So I decided to let “real life” spill over into writing and compile a list {read more}

Are you overlooking “respect”?
By Elisa on January 19, 2009
By Elisa on January 19, 2009

By Elisa on December 8, 2008
Since I’ve already written about my love for detective fiction, I would now like to look at another favorite–fantasy. In particular, Children’s Fantasy, and two books that illustrate what I like and dislike in the genre.

What is strong enough to bend a Bow of Bronze?
By Elisa on November 17, 2008
This book is at the top of my list of all-time favorite books for children. Even as an adult, the unique glimpse it gives me of my Savior still brings tears to my eyes.

Every little girl is looking for a King
By Elisa on November 8, 2008
The gut-wrenching sobs coming from her room made me slam shut the laptop and race in– despite my usual reluctance to give up my precious “naptime” alone/work/sanity time. I found her with her head buried under the pillow, shoulders shaking {read more}

By Elisa on October 12, 2008
“Daddy, read my picture-bible-book!”
I will always remember fondly evening story times with my dad. This was the Bible he and Mom choose for all five of us kids from birth to some ambiguous age of maturity at which we moved on to a “Real {read more}

Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, neighborhood heroine
By Elisa on October 4, 2008
I love Mrs Piggle-Wiggle. I wish she lived in my neighborhood.
She loves kids; “..she enjoys talking to them and best of all, they don’t irritate her“.
