Finding Opportunities for Concentration to Understand Something -Jess @ Just aBlink I don’t often have time to think. Sounds dumb, but it’s true.

Just a Blink Readers: Hang on with me…I may be going off the deep end with my next post series (which may take form in monthly or daily posts depending on how it goes). hmmm…I sure hope there are floaties in the deep end. Anyway, there will be plenty of craftiness and photos of the [...]

Sometimes He calms the child. Sometimes He calms the storm. Ryan and I walked toward the doctor’s office from the van. He was visibly nervous about seeing the eye specialist. I led the way and he followed me. While in the parking ramp, we shoved our necks into our jackets to avoid the brisk chill. [...]

If it happened to anyone else it would have been funny. The last thing I remember saying was “Can’t everyone just be quiet!” The last thing I remember doing turning my eyes off the road to fiddle around in the back seat. Next, I felt the curb. I jerked up my head just in time [...]

Here are my little dumplings with their Daddy on Thanksgiving morning. Thank You God for such a blessing. We had a leisurely breakfast and played around on our living room “furniture”. Yes, cushions and blankets kept us pleasantly cozy and entertained! {note: in the upper right hand of the photo the kitchen cabinet doors are [...]
