So You Won’t Have to Call

September 2, 2010

I came back from the kids’ 3 year and 15 month well-visit thinking that perhaps I wasn’t. “I really don’t feel well,” I told my sister who had watched my son while the girls and I were gone. “You do feel warm,” she said surprised, as if she initially thought I was being dramatic (Now [...]

In Sickness and In Health

August 19, 2010

As I walked up to the kitchen sink this morning, I was taken aback by the number of little plastic cups and fat medicine tubes covering the bottom.  I had cleaned everything in the sink before I called it a night, hadn’t I?  And almost as soon as I had had the thought, I remembered [...]

More Beautiful With Age

August 5, 2010

It’s all downhill from here.  At least that’s what a new study from QVC initially had me think.  The study finds that women are most attractive at age 31, and since that big day is here for me, I best enjoy the year. I can agree with part of the survey–at 31 I’m happiest with [...]

The Cleaning Routine that Changed My Life

July 22, 2010

How’s that for an overly dramatic title?

A Lesson from Galarraga

June 3, 2010

I don’t watch a lot of baseball on TV.  I love the sport, but I don’t want to devote three hours to anything, not with the mound of chores I always have to do.  If I do watch baseball, I’ll watch an Atlanta Braves game, so the fact that I caught the ninth inning of [...]

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 [...]

Quality of Life

October 8, 2009

Typically, I write blog posts about my crazy kids or my struggles.  My hope for my blog is that I can unleash my tension through writing and also help other women in the process.  When God teaches me something important, I want to pass on the information so you can see how good He is. [...]
