Desperate Housecleaning
I am blessed to have the best job in the world, I am a stay-at-home-mom (sahm). As a sahm house cleaning has become one of those unfortunate hobbies. Hobby you ask? Well, in order to not go completely crazy I have to make it fun!?! I guess fun is stretching it a bit.
As a homemaker, housecleaning is serious business and I think that most [...]
Temptation
One thing I enjoy about walking on the treadmill is that it is my time to catch up on my Alistair Begg Podcasts.
His sermons are all so convicting and thought provoking. I have been listening to the sermon “When Tempted” from his series on James. I have listened to it a few times and each time I tell myself I need to jot down no [...]
A Spotlight on Today’s ‘D...
Today is a much better day than yesterday and this morning is much better than yesterday morning (the school commute was much better).
I got my physical workout done and out of the way, early (including my shower)!
I also got my spiritual workout before 9:30 this morning.
My daughter’s best friend is spending the day with us.
I am almo [...]
Stamping Goodies Arrive…..Final...
I finally got to place my first order for the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog!! You can only imagine how exciting that must be, right? Well, my order…my very anticipated order took 5 days longer to get to me than usual. I tried hard to hide my disappointment but I think, well no, I know my dear Kip was getting worried about me. ̶ [...]
Suddenly
My baby girl is loosing that baby look.
You know what I mean? Those precious baby features? Tonight G tried a cap on and at the same time Kip and I both said she looks ‘older’. I remember that happening with H too, just out of the blue. As a mother I would probably hang on tight and not let each new season happen but each one b [...]
Endorphins
Endorphins? They don’t get near enough credit. But, those little surges of natural energy sure do make the day more enjoyable. That being said, why don’t I remember that and make a point getting my daily dose?
I am once again on day one of trying to establish a good habit (walking/running). Why are the good habits so much har [...]

My Life Long Covenant to My Valentine...
I love being married.
Let me clarify, I love being married to Kip, my husband for nearly 16 years.
The best years of our marriage began, not surprisingly, once we welcomed our God into our marriage. Is it always perfect? Absolutely not, but we now have all of the tools we need to make it through all of the difficult times.

Valentines Day
I couldn’t resist the opportunity to share a few thoughts about Valentines Day.
As adults we often find ourselves merely going through the motions for this holiday of LOVE. Just recently I saw this on a piece of flair “Happy Forced Love Day!” and had to laugh. It seems we adults put too much pressure on ourselves to make t [...]
Wii-Connecting
I have never been good at video games and was a Wii bit skeptical about The Wii. Could it really fun for the whole family? Would it pass the “I Must Be Good At This The First Time or I Will Never Try This Again!” test? Surely not.
Although I have not mastered any game yet, I am having LOTS of fun trying. I love that Kip and I [...]
