When they are babies you want to protect them. Hold them so close to your body that you know no harm will come to them. But then they start crawling… and quickly they can move away from you. Th...
My love of gardening goes all the way back to when I was a little girl, spending my summers watching my Grandpa work in his huge vegetable garden. I would walk through the rows with him, watching as ...
Our family isn’t normal. And I say that as a compliment to all five of us. We just don’t do things like everyone else. Take playing 4-square for example. It’s an honor to wear the v...
One of the great things about having a blog is connecting with women I’d otherwise never meet. Kate, from Upside Down Kate, is one of those incredible women. She recently tagged me in a fun lit...
(Copied this idea from Annie at Turning Pages) Listening . . . to “Wish You Well” by Kate Herzig. I’ve cried every time I listen to it, but it’s a happy cry… the song is...
I feel her pain; Girl is the youngest with two older brothers. She feels outnumbered and ganged up on… I get it. But she holds her own and she’ll be better for it. Her brothers will be be...
Recently I attended a funeral for a very special woman in my life. It wasn’t expected, and the reality of it has not fully hit me. But this post isn’t about her funeral or her death. It&#...
Oh my heavens… please try this cake. If you like strawberries, heck, even if you don’t, make this today. I took it to a recent get-together and it was DEVOURED. Even the man that said it ...
Between my job, the kids’ activities, and recent family events it has stayed steadily busy in these parts. Here are a few things I have done recently that I recommend. Made these but added appl...
I originally wrote this story for The Good Woman Project, but am sharing it again on my blog for this post about front porch swings. My Grandmother sits on hers every single day while watching the ca...
Let your faith be BIGGER than your fear That’s my favorite quote right now. It’s been on my mind for the last several months. How are you? Is there something that you fear? Somethi...
I love my blog. But I used to love other things more- like playing board games with my kids and going on walks. And where most bloggers can balance it all, I can’t. Not right now. It’s no...
A new coffee mug.. $1.99 from Target Reading this book…. it’s breaking my heart & hopeful at the same time Girl was sick on Monday & cuddled with me on the couch. Love! Girl wa...
It’s Ocean week at Sugar Mama’s Daycare! That’s not the real name of my place, but let’s go with it on here, mkay? Last year we made these cute little crabs with their ...
If I didn’t run a daycare in my home I would probably bake full time. I have a lot of room to improve, but I enjoy the process. I love delivering the goodies to friends, neighbors, etc and seei...
Wow! What a week it has been. I have been so tired. What do you all do for that? And don’t tell me you work out regularly because that’s just not going to happen. Not to sound like an ant...
This weekend was filled with basketball. Have I mentioned that Calem has a great 3-point shot? He does. It’s also an overcast day. I have a love/hate relationship with cloudy weather. I ...
I love random. So here goes some of that random in my life this week….
I didn’t make up this recipe, so I won’t post it on my blog, instead I’ll direct you to the place I got it from. She has much better photos also! I did change one thing from the ori...
The weather here, like most places, has been super mild. I’m not complaining, but I do miss snow. I miss bundling up in my favorite sweaters and thick wool socks. If it’s going to be over...
I posted a few months ago about the Daycare room renovation, and it’s also the area for my home office. You will notice beside my desk there are two large framed cork boards. One is for the day...
I wrote this post as a part of Life: UnMasked. It’s not the normal type of post you’d find on my blog… but I felt it was important to write about ALL aspects of womanhood. Not just ...
Follow my blog with Bloglovin This is an on-going journal to my daughter for her to read later… and also for anyone else that may find it helpful. Here’s to raising daughters! A few weeks ago I share...
The books hi-lited I have read. The others I never got around to. I’m so frustrated though because I didn’t keep track of all my books, thinking that the library would print or e-mail me ...
The family came and went and our time together was lots of fun. Feeding and cleaning up after 24 people for a few days really gets exhausting. I mean, it was all worth it and I’d do it again ne...
She’ll turn 9 this week, just one day after her brother turns 13. Yes, it’s a busy week for us (and VERY poor fertility planning on me and my husband’s part). We talked about a them...
His lucky number should be 2. Not because he is my 2nd born, but because of his delivery into this world — he was born at 12:22 pm on 12/22 in room 222. I couldn’t make that up. If I beli...
Do you get excited for it? Certain songs, like” Mary, Did You Know?” and “What Child Is This?” I like to listen to year ’round. But most of the classics I save just for ...

Saw this over at Kate’s, Little Miss Momma’s, and Rags to Stitches. I loved reading theirs… it’s fun to read about people and find ways we all relate, & the things we have...
