Stirring to Create
For several years now, I’ve felt a tug on my heart to organize my journal entries and prayers to ultimately put these into a coherent book. I feel like my life is going in so many directions now, between my 4 and 6 year… Continue Reading “Stirring to Create”
Being Content Despite Not Knowing
Today is the day we would have gotten aboard a cruise ship off the coast of Vancouver heading to Alaska. Alas, my preschooler came down with a fever and headache last week, and it was the dreaded virus we’ve tried so hard for nearly… Continue Reading “Being Content Despite Not Knowing”
Handle with Care
This morning, I dropped off my kindergartener to her school, and then my three-year-old to her preschool class. We skipped from the car into her school building and then walked to her classroom in silence, taking in all the sights and sounds of other… Continue Reading “Handle with Care”
Life in Color
I’ve been teaching my daughters, ages nearly 3 and 4 1/2, about skin colors lately. My girls are curious and smart, and I want them to ask questions. We’ve been reading, “God’s Very Good Idea,” by Trillia Newbell. It explains that God’s very good… Continue Reading “Life in Color”

My Gramma Betty
I got the call last Saturday morning that my 97 year old gramma Betty had a heart attack. On Tuesday, January 26, 2021, Gramma decided that it was time to leave this world. Blessedly, my mom and her siblings all got to say goodbye… Continue Reading “My Gramma Betty”
Christmas card dilemma
What to write in a Christmas card is always agonizing. Most cards, you can mindlessly stuff and seal closed with a wet sponge (because who wants to lick 40+ cards??). Remember George’s fiancee from Seinfeld?? Anyhow, I digress. The point is, most of the… Continue Reading “Christmas card dilemma”
This is a test
Some days, I feel like I’m living in an experiment to see how much it takes for my sanity to crack. Living life as a stay at home mother is bilateral. On one hand, I know I am blessed to raise our two daughters… Continue Reading “This is a test”
Breath
Yesterday, I was reminded that our friends who lost their little girl to cancer started her chemotherapy 8 years ago. Just two months later, their precious baby went into the arms of Jesus. Seeing the picture of the brown-eyed two-year-old sitting on her mama’s… Continue Reading “Breath”
Mama Bear
Up until I was thirty, I would never have described myself as a “kid person.” To be honest, I just didn’t like anybody else’s kids besides those in my own family- and even then, it was only if they were behaving. After I turned thirty, I… Continue Reading “Mama Bear”
