The rest of the family went to sleep early, so my littlest guy and I had a little mommy + me date. We cleaned, we packed daddy's lunch, we did 1/8th of the dishes (we were both over it before we even began), we wrote colorful notes for everyone and left them on the table to be discovered in ...
Recharge
Getting out of the house alone can make me feel guilty, and the act itself is sometimes physically tough- like preparing everything for my family while I'm gone, plus finding cute clothes, makeup, and a dish to share... Ugh. Sometimes my littles even stand at the door and cry as I back away, ...
The Most Greatest.Gift.Ever
As I held the phone in my hand talking to the receptionist and looking at my calendar I held my breath and tried not to let my worry show through the phone lines when she gave me the next available appointment date. My words said “Great, I’ll take it, thank you”, but my heart said, “Oh ...
When You Adopted Before Adoption Was Cool
Happy World Adoption Day! Who knew there was such a day? First and foremost, we need more people willing to open their hearts and homes to people in need (not just children). I get that, I believe that. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. This post isn’t going to hit ...
Thankful Thursday- August 24th, 2017
A week has passed since my last blog post, and I honestly can say I did not get much accomplished. Not in the way of writing anyway. Well, or in the keeping of the home (If you’re reading this, I’m sorry, sweetie). My heart desires to write, but my schedule does not allow it, and in this ...
Thankful Thursday- August 17th, 2017
~Thankful Thursday~ I encourage you to set aside time, if not daily, weekly, to FIND JOY. Even in the tough seasons of life, it’s there. I swear it. My dear friends, I am a truth teller, and I wouldn’t pretend about this. This simple practice of writing down what you are thankful for can ...
Free Printable Scripture Art
My 9 year old loves writing scripture and posting it around the house, he always has. This year we incorporated it into our school work using Teach Your Child to Read, Write and Spell: 100 Easy Bible Verses. I often have the two older kids create some type of art out of their memory verse for ...
Give it Up
They say imitation is a form of flattery, right? I need to be real here, I ran across a Facebook "blog" page today that has clearly been following me (dare I say stalking me?), mimicking many of my posts, using my authentic wording, posting similar things just after I do, adapting my style (right ...
You Are Sufficient In This World
As women and mothers we hear a lot about ‘the comparison trap’. Really we aren’t comparing at all though, are we? I think we are actually contrasting. When we compare we’re finding similarities, and I think we can encourage each other through that. But when we are contrasting, we’re finding ...
Happy Birthday, Dorothy. Life is Hard.
My mother-in-law has been with Jesus for almost 9 years. Cancer took her all too soon. In August of 2007 we welcomed our first son into this world, within a week she and my father-in-law told us that the doctors had discovered she had cancer. It was in her colon and pancreas. What? I thought ...
