Guess who’s getting baptized TODAY!

We didn’t exactly get any invites in the mail. Oops. I did finally get them picked up on Thursday from Costco. But life happened and thus, no mailed invites. But we’re excited nonetheless. Abe is such a sweet kiddo. I hope he has a special day!

Equal to what it brings

Truth be told … I read this and rolled my eyes. It was a doozy of a day. I didn’t want to think about using time wisely and well… I just want to hit my pillow and sleep for a few years until Tru leaves this 2-year-phase. But then something resounded with me… the “face […]

Piggy Tails

Besides the fact that ‘Liza has 18-month pants on that are hiding her feet, isn’t she such a doll. Yesterday I tried piggy tails. They were awesome.

Oh, the SUMMER we’ll have!

Summer Vacation is upon us. I nearly started panicking this morning … knowing I needed a plan … before the last day of school arrived. The kids are eager. Hannah wants to go to seven peaks tomorrow – the last day of school. With me and all 5 kids. Whoa-nelly. Let’s have a plan, sister. […]

He loves us, ya know.

Our Max is quite the funny fellow. A rascal at times. But overall, pretty sweet. He comes up with really interesting conversations. Like today he was sitting on the commode and hollered to Jimmy, “I love Mommy so much.” Sunday’s conversation at a quiet lunch with just Jimmy and Max in the kitchen was so […]

perspective check

This week I’ve been trying not to hyperventilate about an upcoming trip that we planned. You see… we were the only sibling, of 11 living, who wasn’t going to be at the Smith wedding in Maryland. We nearly choked to death on the price of 6 round-trip plane tickets totally $3700. Choke! Good thing we […]

The Quiet of the World

I once knew a fellow who claimed that females often overused the word LOVE. I … am one of those girls. There are all sorts of LOVE and I do love so many things. One thing I LOVE are inspiring messages. Have ya noticed? I came across this one in the April 2012 New Era […]

Prepare for Tomorrow by Working Today

This has been a challenge for me, but I’m trying to train myself to think differently … not, “What do I feel like doing right now?” but “What can I do to prepare now in order to make later go more smoothly.” Jimmy is probably laughing, wondering if I’m really capable of this. But oh, […]

Spark of Heavenly Fire

I’m back. My keyboard lives (semi). My foot is healing. Sunburn is cooling. Eliza is sleeping. Tru is playing. The sun is shining. School is almost out (another week!). My mom saved us yesterday. I’m plugging through my boatload of etsy orders (closing shop next week and am SO glad). Found darling coral dresses for […]
