Friday was my oldest son’s birthday. It was his last single digit birthday, so we went above and beyond. I think more for our own sake’s than his. He had no clue it was a “special” birthday.

After we completely spoiled him, we decided to continue the trend and take him to his favorite store to buy a new outfit.

IT’S GOOD TO BE NEEDED

It’s good to be needed.

Even though sometimes that means being intensely stretched in so many directions, making you know exactly where those stretch marks came from and why they are eternal.

Then, I soak my…

Ok, I’m back. After popular demand? Nope. After unpopular demand? Nope.

It’s more like, no demand at all. Except life. Things got a little comfy and I wasn’t inspired much to write. But, now, oh boy have things gotten pretty……….eventful.

Or should I say, I’m VERY inspired. Recent events have made my heart long for the written therapy. I won’t go too crazy today. I will start all that tomorrow.

Well, it’s been swell, but I’m deleting my blog.

Before all 2 of my faithful readers freak out, you should know it’s not a complete deletion.

I am revamping the way I do things. Think makeover.

So, I will get everything up by next week, if I’m lucky.

Love…

So. I’m sure you have all noticed my little blogging slump. It’s been SO difficult to post lately. I used to have to refrain from posting multiple times daily. Now, I struggle to post monthly.

While I was getting ready this morning, I was praying really…

Gettin' crafty up in hur.

I have a confession to make…

I’ve been completely worthless by way of homeschooling this year. I’ve…

Holiday Giving

Giving is medicine for the heart. Giving takes your eyes off yourself and everything you find wrong…

Tell them what to do, they're yours.

I’m popping in to give a quick bit of encouragement today.

We have all heard the self-help people…

I want to tell you a little story. But, first, I want to tell you why I want to tell you this story….

The Bible clearly instructs us to forgive. I’m sure everyone will attest to that. As humans we have come up with a barrage of reasons why forgiveness is…

I have had it on my heart to write a post about homeschool for a long time. However, the topic…

Your smile was as wide as your problems.

Your eyes shone in the darkness of your life and your choices.

Your absence no shock. No shock at all. But, even un-shocking shocks hurt.

You would come close and we would let you.

We never gave up on you, even…

Imagine that you spent 20 years pouring into your child. You did all the right things. You trained them up in the way they should go. You did your best. And your best happened to be sheer awesomeness.
