Of Fall, Sickness, and Single-parenting

1. I am thankful for my husband. We are not the perfect couple. No one even guesses it for a minute that we might be blissfully happy. But we are in love. And with two stubborn and hard-headed people to get along and love the way we do is a miracle. And marriage is hard [...]

I’m a Mommy Duck

And while I think that’s a good thing, let me tell you what happened.
Sam and I were at the park today tossing rocks into the river. Ok, actually, we were gunning them in. Beside the point. Let’s just say the fish were probably darting for cover. And it attracted a group of ducks. I LOVE [...]

Toilet Troubles with Your Man?

I hear you. Check this out. I couldn’t help but share…

Loving your man…

Everyday I get a small, little email reminding me of ways that I can be a better wife. I signed up with crosswalk.com in their daily devotionals to receive the “Loving Actions” devotion. I love it. Everyday, no matter what we are going through I am reminded to love my husband. And let me tell you [...]

Mother/Wife and Everything Inbetween

To see the book, go here.
Hello all! I have missed writing so much this week! The old computer isn’t quite the same yet, as we need to wipe the hard drive and can’t do that until we copy all of our pictures to a discs, but it’s working enough to post this small bit I’ve [...]

My new job title

I don’t know about you, but when I tell people that I am a stay-at-home mom their eyes glaze over. Or they raise their eyebrows in judgement. Or worse still they immediately assume my husband is a lawyer or a doctor or something that makes us rich so that I don’t “have” to work. *chuckle, chuckle!* All [...]

Bummed…

As soon as I was finishing up my last post from, oh, two seconds ago the landlady from House#3 (remember? With the park?) called and turned us down. Apparently the rent would have been 40% of our wage and they only take people at 35%. She called earlier and I ASSURED her that I have [...]

“Home”

Today while driving back from picking up prescriptions and fantastic deals from Walgreens (you can find them here http://www.moneysavingmom.com/ ) I realized what a spoiled child I am. I have three options for a good shelter for my family. Warm, safe, secure homes as an option for us to sleep, play, eat, live. I am constantly reminded [...]

Sorry.

Today I’m feeling better. Actually, I felt much better yesterday. I just had to get that out before my sweet, sweet husband got home and I had to offer up support and optimism.
I know it will work out. And because I was such a downer yesterday, I found some super funnies for you to enjoy. [...]

Answered Prayers

I’m going to share my small, little adoption story with you – so far.
It’s actually not much of a story yet. We are waiting on the Lord for his perfect timing, but we know that this is what He has called us to do and we know that our child is coming, or lie in [...]
