Tuesday, July 1st, 2008Allan and the kids and I arrived home late last night, after an all day trip from my folks’ house in California. When Allan drove it alone last week, he made it home in just over 9 hours. With the kids? It took almost 12 hours.
Yep, a 6 year old, a 3 year old, and [...]
Gratituesday… the breast cancer edition…
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008My sister Sarah was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and my kids and I are staying with my folks in California – going back and forth to Sarah’s house, hanging out, helping some, and being a part of the battle.
This week, I’m tired, but feeling thankful today for a variety of things that have come up since the breast [...]
Gratituesday…
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008It’s been a bittersweet few days. If you read my previous post, you know that life as my family knows it has changed, quite dramatically.

A Prayer Request…
Saturday, June 14th, 2008There are moments in life when everything comes to a stop in a second, and from that second on, nothing is ever the same. On Wednesday, our family had one of those moments.

Yep, the first day of summer vacation has been a BLAST! Even with mommy’s capri pants and [...]
Gratituesday – My Son’s Teacher
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008My oldest, Samuel, entered Kindergarten yesterday last month last August. It was a tremendously, tremendously difficult time for this Mama. He’s my first, so naturally I was anxious, but Samuel is also extra special in a few particular areas, and I was nervous how that was going to play out in a classroom where I [...]
Gratituesday – Just thankful…
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008I know this is going to sound super cheesy, but today… today, I’m thankful for Gratituesday.
I need this Gratituesday discipline in my life (AND I need a Gratiwednesday and Gratithursday and well, you know…). There are some weeks, and this is one of them, where if I didn’t have my Gratituesday post to think about, I might just [...]
God’s Promises…
Sunday, May 25th, 2008A few months ago, I “met” a gal online, named SueZQue (aka Kim). She and I met through Laura’s Heavenly Homemakers blog, and I really enjoyed reading Kim’s blog and her comments. I could relate to so much of what she had to say, how she said it, and was inspired by her and encouraged [...]
