One of my favorite Sassy Bloggers (we should form a club…), Jessica, posted her Plank Pullin’ series today. I like this series. I admire Jessica’s courage to put her planks out there. You’ll notice I haven’t put any out there myself. There are two reasons for this: – I’m lazy – I’m a scaredy […]

Post edit: I wrote this post several days ago and for a number of reasons decided to wait before publishing. I worried that it would sound like I was fishing for encouragement. I realize that many of my recent posts have been bemoaning our move to Florida. I’m sorry for that. This move has been […]

Sunsets with Friends

The doorbell rang and I answered, my four month old tucked snugly in the crook of my arm. “Trick or Treat,” he cried, thrusting out his bag. He was three, dressed as a Power Ranger…or something like that. I pulled Sloan close and tossed some candy into the bag, his eager little face lit with […]

I never planned to be a homeschooler. It was never something I desired to do. Never. In fact, I’m pretty sure my exact words in the past were, “There’s no way in H@#! I would ever do that.” Classy. But something happened earlier this year and a transformation began inside my heart. Sometime after the […]

She’s walked around the house whimpering and clutching her ear. She hasn’t slept a full night in four days nor has she eaten much of anything. This is the child who never says no to sleep and food. Ever. More than once when she was younger, she would vomit in the middle of the night […]

Three weeks ago Landon wouldn’t put his face under water without a good deal of weeping and gnashing of teeth.

We live in sunny Florida now and I have to say…it becomes my minivan. If you thought she looked hot cruising the streets of St. Louis, you should see her down here. HAWT! But there’s a problem. “What problem?” you might ask. “What could possibly be bothering you in sunny Florida?” I’m so glad you […]

“I have a secret,” he whispers. Or a “theekwet,” in his lispy language. “What’s your secret?” I ask, leaning down so my nose is inches from his freckled face. (Oh how I love his dotted little nose.) “I wub you,” he answers with a grin. And then I melt. And promise him all the Cheezit’s […]

Do you ever wonder if, perhaps, we as Americans have gone to far with our freedoms? Do you ever wonder, when you walk inside a church that looks more like an amusement park than a house of God, if maybe we’ve lost sight of what faith is? I do. Do you ever wonder if maybe […]
