What A Mess.

I jolted upright in my bed awakened from a deep sleep by the sound of crying. I clumsily got up and walked down the hall in a stupor. The crying was coming from the Pepto Bismol pink bedroom of my girls. As I entered I continued to hear wailing sounds, saw two pj clad girlsContinue reading “What A Mess.”

The Masterpiece.

The cry derailed my train of thought and interrupted my task of emptying the dishwasher. I looked up and watched as my two daughters, who were painting with watercolors at the kitchen table, dramatically expressed their feelings. My 5-year-old daughter had tears streaming down her face and her 3-year-old sister was crying as well andContinue reading “The Masterpiece.”

One In A Million.

My son’s bus came to a sliding stop this morning on the ice rink/road near our home. As my boy started to make his way up the steps and on to school, I jokingly reminded him of his teacher’s name. I was only half-kidding. Due to snow and cold weather our local schools have beenContinue reading “One In A Million.”

I’d Lost That Loving Feeling

Dear Reader, Each month I blog for my church’s women’s ministry about a topic that is assigned for that month. This month the topic was INFERTILITY and MISCARRIAGE. It was a tough one! I have experienced three miscarriages, one just this past October. I was unsure if I should share such a personal story, butContinue reading “I’d Lost That Loving Feeling”

I’m Going To Dream Small This Year.

I’m a day late and at least a dollar short. It’s January 2nd and I haven’t made any official resolutions or goals yet for 2014. I’m still in “Christmas Break Mode” and I consider the fact that I did laundry today a pretty big accomplishment. Well, I haven’t folded it yet, but I did moveContinue reading “I’m Going To Dream Small This Year.”

13 Things I Learned During the Christmas Season of 2013.

The cookie tray is down to a few sugar cookies that could possibly break your teeth. There are also a variety of rogue sprinkles on the tray reminding me of all that’s been created and enjoyed. It feels to me like the Christmas season has gone by extra fast this year. I love Christmas andContinue reading “13 Things I Learned During the Christmas Season of 2013.”

Socks…Really?!

This is the time of year when children rip into presents with eager joy and anticipation. It’s also the time of year when we see a particular phenomenon occur during these times of gift opening. You’ve seen it. The child, with tongue pressed to their upper lip and eyes wide open, lifts the lid ofContinue reading “Socks…Really?!”

What Are You Wearing?

When I was pregnant with my second child, my son was about three-and-a-half years old. And you know what they say about kids that age… “Inquiring minds want to know.” Right? Karson had all kinds of questions about the baby that was soon to be joining our family. One day he asked me what kindContinue reading “What Are You Wearing?”

After the Cancer Diagnosis: 5 Things I Learned When My Son Got Really Sick

I have to admit that sometimes I still cringe when people refer to me as a “Cancer Mom.” I never signed up to join that club. The cost to join is enormous. But, join it I did on February 9th, 2007 when my then-two-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia. To say that the journey ofContinue reading “After the Cancer Diagnosis: 5 Things I Learned When My Son Got Really Sick”
