Somebody Wants What You Have

March 10, 2010

It’s easy to think the grass is always greener in your neighbor’s yard. And perhaps it is. At least the part you can see. But remember… When you’re weary of fixing another meal and doing dishes yet again, somebody wishes they had food to put on the table. When you’ve folded and put away a(nother) [...]

So Much to be Thankful For

December 29, 2009

There’s no better way to end the year than to reflect on our greatest blessings. Here’s my Top 10 (minus all the “stuff” I’m forgetting) list of blessings in 2009. This is my list, so I can be thankful for snow, right? Record snow? Oh, yes. Snow and Tiny Town neighbors to clear it for [...]

Right Here, Mom

October 20, 2009

Our little two-year-old terror is constantly in our stuff. She gets scolded for digging through my purse, unlocking hubby’s coaching bag, drawing in her sister’s notebook. Once, she even got her Papa in trouble. He fell asleep “on watch” and she smeared a jar of Vaseline on the wall, in her newly washed hair, on [...]

Give

August 17, 2009

“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7) One of the reasons we live as we do is to give. Yes, it would be nice to have cable, go on vacations, do some remodeling in the house, have [...]

Bring on the Mundane

July 27, 2009

Other than discovering that we left the van in the driveway all night… with two doors wide open… and the garage door open… with my camera in a cup holder… (and found everything this morning just as we left it) there’s nothing exciting happening around here today. And for that, I am eternally grateful. Give [...]

Check out this little sweetheart. My sister and brother-in-law were blessed with this precious boy yesterday; their first. My children had a ball meeting their newest cousin. Oh, what fun is a brand new baby. They have God’s Promises written all over their sweet faces! Happy BIRTHday, Little One! This post is linked to Gratituesday [...]

Kid-Free Time

March 3, 2009

At the risk of feeling your eyes roll… I must give props to my sweet husband this week. Last Friday we were making plans (yet again) to attend a ballgame nearly an hour away. I could have gone, but I just wasn’t in the mood. Four issues: I wanted to get Lent started right and [...]

Selfless

February 10, 2009

Some of you know that my father-in-law was in a bad accident on Saturday. We are confident that he will recover, but the road ahead is both uncertain and filled with potholes, just as all the crazy country roads are around here. In all things, give thanks… and here is what we can be thankful [...]

Stomach Flu

February 3, 2009

Last week we were bit by a bug. A stomach flu bug. You know the one. It’s tough to nurse sick kids to health; tough to lose sleep several nights in a row. And things get really rocky when Mommy and Daddy are fighting it off at the same time as the kids… but I [...]

No School Tomorrow

January 27, 2009

I remember as a kid being glued to the tv every time a snowflake would fall out of the sky or whenever the winter wind would whip more than 30 miles an hour. Are we closed? Are we closed? My dad was a teacher and coach and then my principal (yes, it’s true) so I’d [...]
