Say It Enough, You'll Start to Believe It

I have a confession to make: I haven’t always enjoyed motherhood. The act of being a Mom came so naturally to me at first. When Sloan was born I was immediately comfortable with him. I wasn’t one of those neurotic moms who worried about every little cry. I didn’t care if people held him without […]

Sloan brought home “pets” yesterday. Tadpoles. Fifty of them…at minimum! He fished them out of the neighbor’s algae-ridden pool. Naturally. More than half of them did not survive the night. Much to my relief. The rest are, today, munching on lettuce and I’m headed out in a bit to buy distilled water so they can […]

What is it about third borns that make them so…third bornish? A free spirit, good for a laugh, the clown. What is it about third borns that make them so irresistable? So yummy, so kissable and sweet? Full of spunk and maybe just a smattering more cute than the ones who proceeded them? I read […]

Before we get started, I’d like to give you a moment to let the cheesy ’80’s ballad wash over you. Go on, sing it out. You know you want to… … Feel better?’ Great. There is no great way to transition from obscure ’80’s music to prayer, but I’m gonna give it a try. Consider […]

No time to blog today. The Princess and I are taking tea as we watch the wedding of the century. The Prince accompanied us for awhile, but quickly got bored and headed outside to ride the royal tricycle. Toodles!
[Continue reading...]Well I don’t have much to say today. Landon and I both have colds and we are snuggled up together on the couch, coughing and snorting and rubbing each other’s backs. I’ve got plenty of thoughts and ideas rolling through my head, but none of them feel blog worthy. It’s a constant balance, this blogging […]
