I Killed a Mailbox Today

Thursday, May 14, 2009

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 [...]

Blinking Once Again

Standing Still While Speeding My life is hurdling by, at a rate that is most typical. (at least to a young family with two kids and two on the way) Long days that push my strength limits. Longer nights that pull at my eye lids. Fast weeks that provide much change or little change at [...]

Grin and Bear It

Yes, Bear Don’t bears eat a lot, then go sleep for a good long while, say, all winter long? That is a bit of a reflection of my current lifestyle. I try to grin despite all the sickness and the fatigue of this pregnancy but really I don’t hide it very well. I try not [...]

Green Week :: Day 2

Refresh I found refreshment in embracing a positive outlook on my day. Mint tea helped, too. The “blessings” of my healthy, fun and love-filled life often get swept under the rug unless I reboot my thinking to be less crabby and more refreshed…. I was late getting my garbage can out to the curb but [...]

The Five Love Language for Kids

Monday, March 2, 2009

Showing Young Kids Love Kids soak up love like little sponges. Kids can tap a parent’s love faucet from dawn to dusk..and then some, still thirsty for more love. By days end, I am tired. Just the thought of putting more of myself out there to help others is daunting. So with a selfish heart [...]

Winter Sun Rays

Just when my mind is ready to snap from being unable to paint anything outside, open the bedroom windows or get a grip on running my home, I find a moment or two like these… Winter sun rays Brighter than summer days Snow banks beam light Warm sunspot, just right Children bounce off the wall [...]

Home: Where I Can Do Something

I am so blessed to have a warm place to call home during these cold winter months. I am safe, sound, and generally welcomed in my home (Lord help us! Mama is throwing frying Pans Made with Steel again!). But, what happens when home doesn’t feel warm? What if home feels like the fangs of [...]

Busted…A Toddler’s Journey in iPhone Pics

I love sneaking up on Molly with my camera when she is being naughty. No, I don’t laugh (in front of her) to encourage the behavior. But, I do snap her picture, usually with my iPhone cause it is always near by. She is so darn curious, independant, and risky, that I can’t help but [...]

Scrapbooks and “Witching Hour” Bark

I always struggle to journal in a scrapbook. Poor penmanship, spelling, formatting, and let’s not forget cheesy content. (I have seen it done well, so I give all you that can, “do it”, major props!) Let me think… When did I ever pay to print out a photo that, say, should be anything less than [...]

God Said It was very Good

As a Mom I find it is second nature for me to encourage, build-up and compliment my kids. Yes, I also find it second nature to growl, snare and fuss at my kids but that is for another blog post. I credit my parents for raising me with the ability to express verbal praise. They [...]
