Christmas is officially over. The daily grind has begun. Our vacation – 2 weeks of living a relaxed, fantasy life – is over. In a way, it feels like it was so long ago… For Christmas, the kids and I spent 2+ weeks away from home with friends and family. Racer stayed home longer forContinue reading “Christmas Reflection”

Nervous Energy
It’s getting close to baby day. Family is in town, the nursery is ready, my bag is almost totally packed. It’s getting close. I’m nervous. Not about the baby, but about so many other things. About my home: I’ve never been a clean fanatic, so it’s not the cleanliness I get nervous about. It’s theContinue reading “Nervous Energy”
My 2010 Top Ten
If you remember this post, during the month of November, I am sharing one thing each day that I am thankful for (via Facebook). Today, you are lucky. Instead of sharing just one thing, I am sharing ten things I am thankful for. Well, not things exactly, but people instead. Please know that these peopleContinue reading “My 2010 Top Ten”
New Goals for Fall
A lot is changing in my life right now. We’ve moved to a whole new place, we have a new baby coming, I’m currently a stay-at-home mom again, and God is knitting our family together in ways that I’m watching in awe and disbelief and wonder. And, it’s beginning to look a lot like FallContinue reading “New Goals for Fall”
Guest Blogger… again!
I’m totally excited! I got a guest spot on The Mommies Network again! I promise, I won’t make a big deal EVERY time, but I may mention it at the end of a post. I guess I just get excited to think that someone else might like what I wrote/thought/had to say.
What Happened to Summer?
I’m sitting here, listening to the sound of the shower as kids prepare for school tomorrow. The little ones are in bed. Racer is around somewhere. And our family has spent zero time together today. Where did summer go? Now that school has started, our “schedules” are getting into full swing. Mornings are hectic gettingContinue reading “What Happened to Summer?”

All Moved In
So, we’ve officially moved. Too much stuff inside a too small uHaul = a miracle. Seriously folks, it was like the opposite of the Loaves and Fish story; God minimized the stuff. We were so blessed by the support of our friends and church family that came out to help load and clean. So manyContinue reading “All Moved In”
Shake it Like a Polaroid
Do y’all remember Polaroid cameras and pictures? When you used a Polaroid camera/film, the picture would come out blank and you – well at least I – would shake it to develop the picture. Often times though, I would shake too vigorously and the picture would get screwed up. The colors would run, or partContinue reading “Shake it Like a Polaroid”
A Snowglobe Morning
I like snowglobes. You shake them up and watch the “snow” fall in the village, on the family or around the world that is inside. The snow swirls and then slowly starts to settle. Finally, everything is still again until the next shake up. My life was in the starting to settle point. A recentContinue reading “A Snowglobe Morning”
