I feel dishonest claiming these holidays were more harried than most. Let’s be real; I will always manage to work my panicky personality into a sizable tizzy come every end of December. But there were a few extras that added to the excitement this go around. While we avoided the plague that touched down last Christmas, my husband […]
One Holy Night Long Ago…
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”, Isaiah 9:6, NIV “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will […]
When the Glass Breaks
I love my kids. I love the way my son works passionately to understand EVERYTHING and how he insists on praying for China at dinner because he is fascinated that it is already breakfast time there. I love that the knees on all my daughter’s pants are stained and worn because she throws herself into playtime […]
Lessons from the Green Room
It was typical Tuesday night. I was desperately trying to crank out some overdue blog work while hollering at my husband to just give up on the chicken nuggets and “get the kids in the bath already!”. Then my phone rang, and it was Stephanie Giese of Binkies and Briefcases, “Hey, do you want to […]
Jumping
A fan of change, I am not. I’m still working to wrap my mind around this whole Sunday package-delivery jazz, and my husband knows if WordPress updates to a new layout, it’s best to just pass me a paper bag and walk away. To me, life is full enough as such; the added stress of adapting to […]
When the Day’s Hours Won’t Budge
I love my husband a lot. He’s a good man. He’s a smart man. Some of the things he says makes me want to scream. Sometimes I do scream. You see, he has this lovely gift of practicality and perspective. God decided to skip those traits in me. I got ginormous thighs and a bent […]
One Step in Front of the Other
I feel dishonest of sorts. You see, while I have shared about the challenge Kindergarten has presented to us, I have failed to tell you how it has utterly, totally slayed me. I slam out my mornings in a vigor known only to moms terrified of misstepping the intricate school system and then, by the […]
Go Love on a Blogger this Mother’s Day
There are very few things in this world that make me feel as boss as blogging. It was never something that was planned. It just happened. But it quickly became a saving grace as my daughter grew from newborn to infant, as my mother died, and as my son found himself in a body cast. And […]
We’re Done
I’m listening to my children play “camping” above me in my daughter’s room. Basically, it sounds like a herd of noisy elephants who like to laugh a lot has been let loose. And a lot of opening and slamming doors is apparently required for this camping endeavor too. I’m exhausted. They have won today. A […]
No Fear
I wish I had my daughter’s spirit and energy. In her two-year old wild perfection, she barrels and life and doesn’t stop. If you’ve met Elyse in person, you know exactly what I mean. My son has the most gorgeous heart I’ve witnessed on this earth, but he is a sensitive soul. More like his […]
