Welcome back to another No Mom Talk Monday!  Unfortunately I don’t have any great, wonderful, super inspiring posts for you today. It’s been a chaotic and busy weekend, so I didn’t have much time to sit at the computer to write out any of my ideas. Sorry! 🙁 But I’ll be back tomorrow with fresh […]

  Another week, another list of great posts! So happy you guys are enjoying this series. I get the greatest comments and sweetest emails from those who are featured and those who love finding new reads and follows through this series. That was my hope when I started this—that new followers would emerge and new […]

Dear Noah, This weekend you will be 29 months old…so close to two and a half that it’s scary. It feels like it was only yesterday that they were placing you in my arms for the first time. It’s hard to believe that you’ll be busting your three’s wide open in just a few short […]

November 1, 2008 So far, motherhood is coming and going with me. I feel like I’m starting to get the hang of things every once in a while, then I hit a snag and feel as if I don’t know what the heck I’m doing. Noah is a wonderful baby so far. He is sleeping […]

I feel like I’ve been somewhat lacking in creativity this past week. I think it is partly due to the dreary and snowy weather we’re getting. The sky is in a constant state of gray, and there is mushy, half melted snow all over the place. I found a place toward the back of the […]

YAY for iPhoneography! This is becoming a favorite meme because I am totally addicted to my iPod and Instagram..but I’ve never mentioned that. This week we’ve had nothing but snow and gray clouds hovering. So it was a bit dreary. But I did manage to snag a few cute photos. Take a looksie: I showed […]

If the past week and a half have shown me anything about life, it’s that it is fragile.

My faith, unfortunately, has always been something […]
