Unexpected Family Fun…

I am so thankful for the hubby’s new job.  Lemme just say that again… Sooooo thankful. At his previous job, we really felt like we never saw him. He usually got home with only a half hour or so before the kids’ bedtime, AND he had to work TWO Saturdays a month. Last month we…

A Needed Reminder {& Free Printable!}

Being a wife and mom is a great job, isn’t it?  It’s a tough one for sure but often comes with rewards like sticky hugs and adorable smiles.  Sometimes we I seem to focus on the part of the job that isn’t so marvelous though… the daily grind of the mostly mundane stuff… wiping faces,…

Sadly a Sparky NO MORE!

I think part of being a mom is the constant nostalgia at milestones our little ones always seem to be passing.  {Or is it just me that is the weepy, sappy one?} SOMEHOW today is Haylee’s LAST DAY of SECOND GRADE!!!  Our first year in the world of homeschooling is over, and I think it…

Goodwill Hunting!

This is our LAST WEEK of our first year of Homeschooling!  Can I get a whoop-whoop?  In honor of our last week, I decided at the last minute to try to plan a fun outing or activity for each day of the week! Yesterday’s “outing” was supposed to be story time at the library. After…

  I hope everyone had a fabulous Mother’s Day filled with lots of loving and pampering, because you know WE DESERVE IT!   :) My be-loved ones gave me some beautimous roses for Mother’s Day.  They were sooo pretty!  Isn’t there something heart squeezing about hearing little voices saying “Happy Mother’s Day”??? Especially when it sounds…

From then… to now…

As we face moments of pain in our life, in the midst of them they seem as if they will never, ever end.  We can feel like we are in an abyss of hurt that is impossible to surmount. One of my most painful journeys has probably been the journey of infertility and miscarriage. I…

Misquoted.

via Apparently there has been a MLK,jr quote flying freely in light of  Sunday’s take down of Bin Laden that isn’t quite accurate.  “I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.” – Martin Luther King, Jr I guess he did…

{This is what happens when you go to bed “early.”  You wake up and find out the world was a flutter with news that Bin Laden was killed in a real life Jack Bauer scene.  To quote former president George W. Bush… “tonight America has sent an unmistakable message:  No matter how long it takes,…

This is our first week of SUMMER BREAK!! Wahoo! I am so looking forward to waking up WITHOUT having school on the to do list! :) {Although, now I guess I can’t put off next year’s curriculum choices much longer, though, huh?} I am so ready for the lazy, hazy days of summer! The days…

Happy Easter!

  In Christ Alone! We sang this Easter Sunday, and it is such an amazing song.  It was so moving to sing this on Easter.  I am so thankful that we have a Savior who gave His life for us, and ROSE from the grave! Our Easter celebration started on Saturday at our Sunday School…
