Lorelei has become more and more interested with the potty - from shouting that she needs to go in the middle of Walmart to wanting to chill out on hers for periods of time. She wants to. Really wants to. The only thing missing? Being able to summon the great yellow and …yeh.
For some reason, [...]
My wishlist this year is kind of sparse. This year, we’ve mostly asked for cash so we could go on a vacation next year but I was asked to post a list for ideas….
Here’s what I came up with:
A dehydrator. With a friend’s suggestion and reading lots of reviews, I’ve settled on this one. It’s [...]
Finding a new apartment seemed exciting at first. Thoughts of pristine, cute apartments in cozy little areas floated through my head. Reality, however was much much different. Water damaged walls, high rent, crazy landlords, crazy potential neighbors (read: that’s not potential crazy, they were clearly scary), chain-link fences in a part of town to keep [...]
Despite my worries and feeling incredibly overwhelmed - among a vast array of many emotions - I’m beginning to no longer see the negative aspects of the things our family has been facing, together.
True, moving really sucks. But, if it weren’t for moving, I’d never have found those socks I thought I’d forever lost.
True, I’m [...]
I resigned a couple of weeks ago, just so sure that God was going to let me have the next several months full of peace and time with Him and my family.
Silly me. Apparently, I AM supposed to slow down, but He’s got more in plan for me FIRST.
The past few days have been a [...]
God is really rocking my world. He’s molding me, and I’m grateful (although that doesn’t always mean it’s fun.)
Wednesday, I resigned from my out-of-the-home job. It was a difficult thing to do, but it was the right thing to do. I adore the people there, I adore the ministry, I adored what I did — [...]

“Mama! Rora bites you! No, baby!” Lorelei said with great worry as she came into the room, seeing me breastfeeding her baby sister.
“No, sweetie. Rora isn’t biting mommy. Mommy is just nursing and Rora is eating!”
(Pause with Lala still looking concerned.) i realized quickly that I’d used the term ‘eating’ which sounds a lot like [...]
The Tallest of Smalls by Max Lucado
Ages 4-7
Retails for $16.99
My toddler goes through books like some kids go through candy. Okay, so maybe that’s not an entirely fair statement. To be completely honest, some of it’s my fault. Lala ADORES books (as do I), but as new ones find their way [...]
FOR TODAY November 2…
Outside my window… It’s dark. I am just now getting around to free time and it’s disgustingly smoky outside. Like, you can’t breathe out there. Someone decided to burn something.

I am thankful… for people who reach out when we seem to need it most.

From our studies… I’ve slacked completely it seems in [...]
