I did not want to get out of bed this morning. Granted, this statement is true almost every morning. I am not a morning person and I truly enjoy sleeping. But this morning it was not the soft, warm pillow or my heavy eyelids that beckoned me to stay between the sheets. It was whatContinue reading “Paradise Found”

For Crying Out Loud!
The cry floated down the stairs and into my ears where I sat at the kitchen table with my husband and another couple. The other couple are friends who happen to also be cousins. They are about our age and have two little girls who were upstairs playing with our three children. We grown-ups pausedContinue reading “For Crying Out Loud!”
Do As I Say, Not As I Swim.
I have nothing against fish. I understand that fish are a natural part of the food chain. I can appreciate their swimming abilities and their love of school. And while I don’t personally care to eat fish, I’m truly happy for others who enjoy their flavor. So be it. But here’s the thing: I don’tContinue reading “Do As I Say, Not As I Swim.”
Life on Tape Delay
I wrote this particular post as a guest blogger for Focus on the Family President, Jim Daly. It was posted on Mr. Daly’s blog here: http://www.focusonlinecommunities.com/blogs/Finding_Home/2012/08/03/what-one-mom-has-learned-from-the-olympics I was also given permission to post it on my personal blog. I was very humbled and excited about this opportunity! I hope you enjoy it as well. I’veContinue reading “Life on Tape Delay”
Letters From My Mother
It was a dark and stormy night. It may sound frightening, but the scene wasn’t something you’d see in a horror film. Instead it was just me in my pajamas sitting in a hotel breakfast nook with a cup of hot tea. I sat at a small round table with a large stack of letters.Continue reading “Letters From My Mother”
Parenting and Other Health Hazards
A couple of years ago, about three months after giving birth to my third child, we were on vacation with my side of the family. We were on a beautiful lake for the week and I accomplished what I surmised to be a great feat. I water skied. It wasn’t pretty, but I got upContinue reading “Parenting and Other Health Hazards”
Behold! I Stand At The Door… and Ring the Doorbell.
It’s fun to mess with your kids! In love, of course! Since moving to a different house a few months ago our family has repeated a new trick that has yet to get old. Well, it’s not yet old to me anyway. In fact, I was giggling about it earlier tonight and my husband calledContinue reading “Behold! I Stand At The Door… and Ring the Doorbell.”
Bear Cub on a Barbie Bike
Down the street my little bear cub rode on the pretty, pink and purple Barbie bike with it’s matching girly training wheels. It should have been ever so cute. But it wasn’t. The bear cub on the bike wasn’t my little, pigtailed, feminine three-year-old, but instead her tall-for-his-age seven-year-old brother. His knees came up aboveContinue reading “Bear Cub on a Barbie Bike”
Ribbons.
Ribbons are almost never a necessity. Instead, they are used to add color, decorate, spruce up, or embellish. They come in a variety of colors, sizes, widths and patterns. Ribbons usually have one side that is shinier and brighter–meant for show. The other side is not as pretty and is often hidden. Ribbons can beContinue reading “Ribbons.”
What Time Is It?
My education formally stopped with my college bachelor’s degree. However, since becoming a parent I feel as if I should be receiving continuing eduction credits. I’m earning a PhD in L.I.F.E. The syllabus is all over the place. Subjects and tests vary from day to day… ok, minute to minute. But there’s something about beingContinue reading “What Time Is It?”
