Mature Woman My *BLEEP*

I went to the dermatologist the other because I’m having this little problem with my skin.  The problem? My skin is breaking out worse than a prepubescent teen!  That younger looking skin we’re all looking for?  Yeah, I have it…but not in a good way. I’m pretty sure I’ve never had breakouts like this before […]

I blame it all on them

When I was a kid, I ruled at MEMORY.  Seriously, I was untouchable.  You picked up the shoe?  Oh I’ll remember where it is.  Ten minutes could pass and I’d still remember where that shoe sat, patiently waiting for me to find it’s match.  Oh yes, my friends – I was hardcore. I remember vividly […]

Life is Beautiful

It was a blissfully slow weekend.  It was the first weekend in a long time where we’ve had absolutely nothing to do, and with beautiful weather, we enjoyed ourselves immensely.

What I’m Listening To…

I’m sorry it’s been a boring week around here.  Between the rehearsals for the Christmas musical, regular choir rehearsals, russian school and all the crazy in between I’ve pretty much been knocked flat this week. This song has been ministering to me big time lately.  Have I ever mentioned my deep love for the group […]

Intentional Parenting

In the few years that it’s been since Lee and I become parents to one child, then a second and finally a third, we’ve learned a LOT about this journey called parenting. A LOT. And from what I hear we’ve only scratched the surface. *deep breath* One of the things we are learning in large […]

The Day a Boy Became a Man

On December 21, 2003, Sloan’s first tooth popped through his swollen little gums. And on November 3, 2009 that very tooth fell out. And, in his mind, he has now become a man. He came into our room this morning much earlier than I would have liked filled with awe and excitement as he held […]

The Truth in Blogging

My friend, Nicole, has a great post today about keepin’ it real in blogging.  The idea is that many times us blogger mama’s tend to keep things positive and not really show the messy in life.  It can be very deceptive and even discouraging when it seems that these people you read and grow to love […]
