As a mom I feel that almost every decision I make has some influence whether it be great or small on my children. If I send my son to school without a coat, “Will he be cold at recess?” If I let my daughter skip a nap to go to a playdate, “Will she be cranky all evening?” If IContinue reading “Rated G Does Not Mean ALL AGES”

This Isn’t Working
How many times have you thought up a wonderful idea in your head but, when it came down to execution, it was much more difficult than you planned? Did you continue to force it to work or did you step back and realize ‘this isn’t working’? I can think of nUmeRouS times I’ve tried to forceContinue reading “This Isn’t Working”
Full Circle Moment
You never know when something profound is going to hit you, but as I sat in my kitchen wasting time on Amazon.com waiting for my husband and son to wake up on a Sunday morning I was struck as I searched the words, “You Are My Sunshine.” A few weeks ago when I was goingContinue reading “Full Circle Moment”
{Just Go Home}
Disillusioned with God? Feel like he has let you down? This reminds me of the little kid who decides he is fed up with Mom and Dad and is going to run away from home. He packs his bags and heads out the door down the long driveway. When he gets to the end of the driveway he pauses. AsContinue reading “{Just Go Home}”
Lazy Girls Workout
After New Years I cracked down and put a lot of time into meal planning and started working toward my weight watchers goal weight. As I’ve said before (to see my weight loss post click here) it isn’t like I had a lot of weight to lose, but the 10 to 15 pounds that creep up onContinue reading “Lazy Girls Workout”
What’s the Point?
I don’t know about you, but after I clean up around the house for the hundredth time each day, I start asking myself, “What’s the point?!” I begin to wOnDer if keeping up with the laundry and vacuuming up kiddo crumbs makes any difference at all. I mean, does it? They are just going toContinue reading “What’s the Point?”
{Sittin’ On A Gold Mine}
When it comes to potential, we all are sittin’ on a GoLdMiNe. God has placed incredible potential in every single one of us. Don’t believe me? Then you probably haven’t dug deep enough. Because trust me, it’s there. I think most of us know this is true. If that is the case, then why areContinue reading “{Sittin’ On A Gold Mine}”
{When Life Hands You a Lemon, Make Memories}
Don’t you hate the 24-hour bug? Especially when it falls on a really important day, like ChRiStmAs! Well, that was the case with my husband this past Christmas. I felt so bad for him because I know how much he enjoys spending time with family, as well as being with our kids on Christmas morning to seeContinue reading “{When Life Hands You a Lemon, Make Memories}”
When All Else Fails…Tell The Truth
Since school started in September we’ve been driving past the same crossing guard four mornings a week on our way to my son’s school. About a month ago my son decided he was going to start waving good morning to this man on our way to nursery school. So I’m driving my bright-eyed, excited, 4 1/2Continue reading “When All Else Fails…Tell The Truth”
{The Puzzle}
One thing I really like to do, but don’t do very often is put together a puzzle. From time to time my extended family will put one together during the HoLiDaYs. It’s a great time to visit with them and enjoy their company. Depending on the size of the puzzle it may take us hours or evenContinue reading “{The Puzzle}”
