I know you’re waiting to hear Part 2 of Quint’s story, but I have another story to share with you. Anton got sick this week. Really sick. Monday he was doubled over in pain. By early Tuesday morning ...
Recently, I was asked to share how being a part of a mom’s group had encouraged me over the past year that I had been involved in it. My immediate response was “I’ve been so blessed by it”. I had bee...
I get lots of e-mails asking me all sorts of questions – from blog design, to challenge related, to camera questions, and adoption questions – definitely those. But the questions I seem to get the mo...
…even the dog’s bed.
I’m not sure I get it. I’m not sure I get the motherhood thing to its fullest. Most days I’m incapable of slowing down long enough to check myself: am I doing this right, do they have what they need,...
We had our first swim in the pool this season and I’ll sum it up for you in a word: cold. Ha! Yes, it was cold, but we didn’t care. At least – they didn’t care. I didn’t get in because I am a chicken...
There is only one day left in the challenge of Spring Cleaning for April– and in a mad dash to at least say that I had continued my weak attempt at attic cleaning, I spent the entire day going throug...
I think last time we chatted I was lamenting what was in store for me. But alas…nothing could get me out of the flood of emotions waiting for me within the tubs. The tubs. The 9 tubs full of my child...
This is a cheap and easy craft that your kids will LOVE. Go to your local craft store with $10.00: The palettes were $.80 each Bag of inexpensive brushes for $2.99 Assorted acrylic paints for $.25 ea...
Image Courtesy Gina Marie Huff I’m sorry to say that the state of my “purging” is a bit blah. The thing is, and I’m being completely redundant, I can’t see to open them. The tubs. The ones with the b...
So my entryway looks like “Attack of the Tubs” and there’s no end in sight, because frankly I can’t bear the thought of purging a single thing from inside any of them. Baby clothes…x9 tubs. What? ...
Well, our three day weekend went far too fast, but overall it was a lovely Easter and I’m hoping that yours was too. First: a challenge update. Sooooo, remember when I said we were going to be clea...
Well, as you know by now, we’re cleaning up our mess this month. And if you need a re-cap of the Challenge, the rules, and what you need to get accomplished – READ THIS POST. I’d love to have you j...
First let’s talk about the challenges – then we’ll chat a bit about where I’ve been: So March’s Challenge was a private challenge of sorts – put out there for those who wanted to kick a bad or ugly ...
Ok, first let me start by saying - I know I owe you an update. I know that. And Im like really, really behind on the whole "I blog it, you read it" bit. And Ive already got that post mos...
(freakingoutexcitedoverhere) Time to go make some memories! Unplugging for the trip! Cant. stinkin. wait!
In our house, the only conversation coming up again and again and again is all things Disneyland. The children are occupying a good portion of their waking hours discussing who they are going to hug...
So first of all – do you like my “new look”?!?! I guess you can tell where we’re headed this month! Whooooo hoooo! This will be our first time as family to go, and I’m here to tell you now: this ...
I guess it’s redundant to tell you how much I love and adore my kids and AB – but it’s truth. Still, as I told you, I struggled this month to express that love in tangible ways. I thought this chal...
Remember when we started these challenges, and I said “some months I’ll post a lot about them, and some months not so much”? Well, February was clearly a “not so much” kinda month. And frankly, Mar...
Can I tell you something? Something I’m not necessarily fond of talking about, but that which I am recently overwhelmed by? 29 Days of Love – it should be fairly easy, right? I mean – show extra l...
Please, oh please…do something mushy for those you love…life is too short to wish you had…
Well, as I said in my last post – the grandparents are here! And one of the things I really appreciate and admire about AB’s parents is the way things just GET DONE when they’re here. If they see a...
I know. It’s been like a week. Ok, it HAS been a week. I’m sorry…after 31 days of Nothing {Unhealthy} – I got kind of worn out on all that posting. Our life is nuts right now. That’s how it fee...
As promised, here are some tangible expressions of love you can show for February’s 29 Days of Love Write a love note a week to your spouse and hide them in places that will be a nice surprise Make a...
I Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no re...
Well, we made it. Some of us made it with several pounds less to show for it and some of us…not so much. I for one am glad it’s over, but feeling really reflective. This much is true: I don’t thin...
So Love. Yes, February is the month for sweethearts – and I totally enjoy the colors, the sentiment, and the idea that we celebrate finding that special someone. But let’s face it; this is a Hallma...
