I've heard of this before. Also, we were on our bus ministry for church and one of the homes we visit had a ziplock bag of water hanging above the door. At first I thought it might be some kind of holy water because I knew the family was Spanish and came from a Catholic background. LOL (I know...crazy of me to think that) ANYWAY! I asked the little girl what it was for and she said that it was to keep the houseflies away. They see their reflection in the water and won't come in the door. I thought that was interesting. Of course, we really don't have a problem with houseflies, so I won't be hanging any bags of water above the door. I just thought it was interesting. Good to know, huh?
I started this blog some years ago to talk about how I wanted to be a stay-at-home wife and about how I wanted to adopt a baby. Now I am no longer working outside of my home and my husband and I have been waiting to adopt since Aug. 2008. I hope to use this blog in the future to discuss being a homemaker, a mother, my calling as a wife, and other godly and domestic things. Oh, and I hope to keep up with some old friends and make some new ones as well.
Hi! Welcome! Stay a while & look around a bit. You'll find musings about infertility, adoption, marriage, salvation by Grace through faith, homemaking & other domestic glories, parenthood, and many other random topics. I wish I could say that it is always warm and fuzzy conversation, but I can promise that you'll leave thinking.

Really? I never would have come up with something like that. Interesting.
