I’m fudging a little on my post date for posterity’s sake. I want my future daughter in law to think that I was a perfect mother and always recorded events in a timely manner.
Arwen has grown in leaps and bounds in the past year! There is a collective sigh in our home as we realize [...]
A couple of weeks ago I reminded Brent that our anniversary was this month, but admitted that I wasn’t totally sure what day. We have spent many an anniversary sitting in the pews/standing in the aisle witnessing others covenant with one another too. All the dates have sort of blurred in my mind. And, you [...]
My brother, and also one of my most dearest friends, is a rapper. He’s pretty fly for a white guy.
Whenever my kids get a stomach bug, I blame myself for not keeping the bathrooms cleaner.
When I’m sick, I clean compulsively, sometimes in my robe. I associate sickness with dirtiness evidently. I think it’s because growing [...]
We have a lot of stuff. And here’s the thing. I think it’s because there are a lot of people in this house that was built for 2 or 3 people to leave every day to go to work and school. This space was never intended for people to live, work, school, or even eat [...]
My apologies. Due to the fact that I have no concept of time, this post was written on Monday. Three days ago… I think.
Brent got home at 4:00 pm today. As usual, he asked what I’d like to get done this afternoon. He knows me well! I’m all about gettin’ stuff done…usually to a fault. [...]
When your 2 year old can put himself up on the changing table, it’s probably time to potty train.
HOW IN THE WORLD do you communicate “do unto others” to your children?!? My kids are NOT getting it and I feel like all I say all day long is, “Now, would you want someone to XYZ [...]
It’s been a very long day. Full of surprises at every turn.
If you came into my home right now you would find remnants of several meals caked on the table, mounds of laundry waiting to be done, a clean sink (!!), and me- in a ponytail, wearing one of my husband’s undershirts, tie dyed socks, [...]
Those that know me in real life know that we’ve had quite the struggle with Evelyn and getting sleep. She’s my most high needs baby yet… probably because of all the stress hormones she was bathing in those last three months in my womb, which is why I was in such a hurry to get [...]
Oftentimes our sins and failures are blatantly shoved in our faces by the behaviors of our children.
Recently, I’ve noticed that one child in particular tends to constantly compare herself to others. We were looking at Brent’s facebook page and a sibling pointed out a picture of herself and her Daddy. The immediate response was, “Where [...]
I was attacked last night in my sleep.
Attacked.
On my FaceBook page.
A simple status update: “Sign of an unvaccinated child: when given a toy syringe to play with, uses it to do “shots” of herbs in their mouth.”
My kids got a doctor dress-up kit for Christmas. Since they haven’t really ever been to the doctor that [...]
