The Tea Party

August 9, 2010

As a mother, I’ve managed to heap a lot of guilt onto my shoulders.  I don’t take the kids to the pool by myself, and I don’t venture out to many activities with the three of them unless I have help.  While I have gotten braver this summer and attempted more, sometimes I wonder if [...]

The Date

August 3, 2010

She woke up and piddled around until she remembered the significance of today–it was her turn. She quickly moved to her room and pulled down a favorite dress.  Swiftly she fit her head through the opening and watched as the fabric dropped to her shins.  A sense of pride filled her spirit as she slipped [...]

His Child

July 12, 2010

“Mom! Hannah Grace had a big fall!  She’s needs to go to the hospital!” my ever-dramatic four-year-old informed me. I was less than six feet away from my kids, doing the dishes while they ate their dinner.  Matt was still not home from work. I wanted to get the kitchen as clean as possible before [...]

Sleep

May 18, 2010

“Daddy, the sun’s outside!!!” she hollered in excitement from the top of the stairs.  ”It’s morning!”  Little feet began to scamper down the steps. In fact, it was 7:40 p.m., and yes, outside was still light, but the sun was not shining.  Hannah Grace was doing her best to avoid bedtime.  Her brother and sister [...]

Sweaters and Rabbits

April 14, 2010

Today was a beautiful spring day. The sky was bright blue and cloudless, and the temperature was perfect.  The kids had their good and bad moments today, but the time we spent outside playing baseball while admiring the flowers and little buds appearing in our vegetable garden helped those bad moments to fade… …until bedtime.

Taming the Tantrum

January 14, 2010

My daughter is beautiful and sweet and cuddly and everything anyone could hope for in a little girl, but she’s also a lot more.  Inside that cute, chubby body is a bag of terrible; after all, she is two. Hannah Grace gives the best hugs I have ever received–she wraps her arms and legs completely [...]

In a Funk

January 11, 2010

If you decide to read this post, beware.  I don’t really have a plan for where I am going with this entry, but I needed to write.  I’m feeling a little sad today, and writing always helps.  Since it’s only 11:15 A.M., I want to start while I still have time to fix my mood [...]

Food from Heaven

October 13, 2009

As I cut the butternut squash in half length-wise, a sweet aroma tickled my nose.  I marveled at the beautiful orange color that was contained within the thick, pale skin and took pleasure scooping the seeds and stringy flesh out of this fruit.  I cut the squash into cubes and thought to myself, “Yes, this [...]

Quality of Life 1: Calling All Tree-Huggers!

October 8, 2009

I would love to say that my family takes care of the environment, that we are friendly to Mother Earth, but I know the mess I seem to clean in the bathroom every day has to be toxic.  When it comes to the dilemma of whether or not I allow my son to wash his [...]
