Yes. You’re in the right place. This was formerly “Make Me a Blessing” and now you’ve been redirected to something called Live Beautiful… well that’s me. Same content, different name. There have been a lot of changes in my life the past several months and I felt like it was time to rename the ole […]

New Name, Same Content

Watching this little blue eyed boy fall in love with life… Telling my husband that I love him at least 8 or 9 times before we ever say goodnight… Opening the door to Little Man’s bedroom in the mornings to find him standing up in bed with a grin on his face… Hearing one simple […]

Happiness is…

Single Parenting is not for me. I don’t know how you other single moms and military moms do it. The past 4 months have been exhausting and extremely taxing on my nerves and my patience level. I worry that I am doing an awful job. I fear that Little Man isn’t getting everything he needs, […]

I am a horrible Father…

{ONE} I started house hunting this weekend. We still have no clue where we are going to move, but the idea of getting out of here and being in my own home again was a relief. It took a little bit of the tension off of my shoulders and I allowed myself to get sucked […]

Miscellany Monday & Grand Opening Giveaway!

Panera Bread Mac & Cheese Recipe!

I touched very lightly on the subject of Faith yesterday. How I’m feeling tested…strained…stretched even. And what’s unusual, is that I find myself welcoming it. Anticipating it. Expecting it. I’ve come to learn that while we have moments in life that are perfect and go exactly as we hoped and wished, more often than not, […]

Journey toward an unknown destination

{ONE} I feel my Faith being pushed. Being testing, being strained even. And I am in awe and great appreciation for every single second of it. I know in my heart that there can be no spiritual growth without tests and trials. And with every good and happy and perfect thing that comes our way, […]

Thought today I would give you guys a wee bit of a Little Man fix.  🙂 This little guy hit the big “2-2” mark on the 27th…we’re a mere WEEKS away from turning two years old. I can’t believe my baby boy is already getting so BIG! Fortunately…talks of Baby #2 may be right around […]
