There is so much on my heart that I want to share. Problem is, I don’t know exactly where to begin. First let me say that Josh and I felt (with abundance) the prayers that were directed our way during our time in Anchorage. I have been steady in my faith for a long, long time. […]

First, I want to say thanks for all of the AMAZING feedback I received on my post this week about creating habits of materialism in our children. Ironically, the post received zero comments but the feedback I go through Facebook, email, and from in person comments by my readers was so encouraging. If I’m being […]

Admitting that somewhere along the line you have messed up is hard. Admitting that we’ve said something hurtful, done something hurtful, or just intentionally done something to someone for reasons unknown…is hard. Accepting the mistakes. Admitting your flaws. Asking forgiveness….is hard. But, I don’t know that there is anything quite as eye opening and as […]

First I want to say thank you to all of you who have commented, messaged me, emailed me or just offered up a prayer for me. As of right now we are still waiting on THE final test result as far as whether or not this diagnoses is multiple sclerosis. They did an EEG, several […]

A little over a week ago I put out a plea on Facebook. A plea for prayer. Many of you who follow me on my personal Facebook page know that for the last eight months or so I’ve been battling long term bouts of vertigo and extreme dizziness and nausea. Dizziness to a point of […]

Okay. So I’m a little behind on my posting (say 6+ months behind). And I’ve been completely MIA for a while. But for some reason, fitting blogging into my schedule isn’t as easy now that I have two kiddos, a husband, a business to run, and I’ve decided to go back to school part time. My […]

Halloween came and went this year in a big blur. This was the first year we had the little bitty with us to Trick or Treat and the first year that Noah was genuinely aware that Halloween meant free candy. The weather held off and remained relatively enjoyable for us to go out and enjoy […]

Yesterday was one of “those” days. You know which ones I’m talking about. I don’t know if it’s something with the moon (ever notice how the moon gets the blame when our kids are driving us nuts?) or what. But it wasn’t a good day. There were spankings. Time outs. Whining. Fussing. Crying. Clingy-ness. Spilled […]

I’ve started to notice that my biggest baby, really isn’t a baby anymore. He doesn’t look like a baby. He doesn’t talk like a baby. He doesn’t play like a baby. We’ve bypassed and moved beyond the terms of “toddler” and “preschooler.” Noah’s just a kid. A full-fledged little boy with barrels of energy and […]

I have sucked it up with keeping things around here updated on Jonah’s month to month progression. Between our vacation and work and life in general, blogging just slips my mind. The only quiet time I have is late in the evenings and usually I’m too tired to sit down and fool with writing a […]
