The Waves

February 11, 2011 by

Have you ever watched the waves rolls in to shore and been mesmerized by the rhythmic swell and crash?  Have you seen the way they slowly pull back from the shore, gathering in a mass, then tumbled in frothy praise to the sand? I love that. I love the sound of the water as it […]

The one where we plan a trip

February 10, 2011 by

I wanted to go visit my parents in London, but logistically it just wasn’t coming together.  So when mom emailed me yesterday and said she was coming back in to the States in March during the kids Spring Break and asked if we’d like to join her in Florida at their condo I don’t even […]

Wednesday Whatnots

February 9, 2011 by

What Not’s?  What Nots. Grammer makes me crazy… So today is a hodge podge of random tidbits for your reading enjoyment.  Or for my writing enjoyment.  Someone will enjoy themselves today! Speaking of writing enjoyment.  Remember the novel I told you about?  The one I started, then stopped, then started, then stopped, then started again?  […]

Mind the Gap

February 8, 2011 by

Praying for my kids is something I passionately believe in and often forget to do on a consistent basis.  I pray for patience  with them (six snow days later, that’s almost become a mantra) and I pray for grace to love them well, but I don’t always pray for them. I don’t know why.  Perhaps […]

Superbowl?  What Superbowl?  We had a party this weekend!  It was girly and squealy and happy and silly.  How was your weekend?

Defining

February 4, 2011 by

I was twelve years old.  I woke up early and got myself dressed for school.  I even remember what I was wearing.  A white T-Shirt underneath flower printed cloth overalls. Hawt. I scrunched my permed hair and lathered it with gel because God knows I didn’t want those spirals to frizz out midday.  I put […]

Don’t get me wrong…

February 3, 2011 by

I love my kids.  I love to be with them and I love to laugh with them and play with them and spend time with them. But… These flippin’ snow days are MAKING ME BATTY. *deep breath* I think the children are going to start eating one another. Sloan cleaned this morning.  He vacuumed and dusted, […]

Five Extraordinary Years

February 2, 2011 by

All of my children are miracles.  They are miracles to me.  All three of them own my heart and are wrapped into the depths of my soul.  There is a feeling that is a little deeper, though, when I look at my daughter. My daughter. To hear those words when I had convinced myself I […]

I laughed until I cried

January 31, 2011 by

I am eight years old and riding in the backseat of our silver Cougar on the way home from church.  It’s cold but we live in Wisconsin so that’s just par for the course.  My brother stares out the window memorizing every street sign and landmark we pass, as he was known for his astute […]

#Blissdom

January 27, 2011 by

I’m here in lovely Opryland for the Blissdom conference this weekend.  I don’t feel like I can actually say I’m in Nashville because I’m pretty sure Opryland has its own zip code.  Updating will be sparse until next week, which seems odd since I’m at a blogging conference, right?  But alas, I’m off to galavant […]
