For these reasons and more I have never written my name in the margin of Proverbs 31: 1) I caught Sunday lunch on fire this past Sunday. My husband blew it out. 2) I added these to a pork roast recipe because I thought they were the same thing as dried onions. But they're not. Fried and Dried are not the same thing. 3) My husband has worn underwear socks inside out ... Read More »

When we act bigger than we really are
Oh bless'er. She was born wanting to be a toddler and now that she's in second grade she wants to be a preteen. Oh she still plays with her dolls, dresses up her big bear and plays "pretend" but sometimes she steps into responsibility that doesn't belong to her. Like at the Super Bowl party we just had at our house. She and several other little girls were all playing ... Read More »
My biggest blond moment -ever!
It was strange....these symptoms I was having the entire week of Christmas. I'd go to bed exhausted from working like a ninja-elf during the day and collapsing into bed after taking my nightly vitamins and acid reflux medicine. And then like clock work I'd wake up suddenly and all wide awakey at 1am ready to conquer the world. The first night I figured I'd fall back asleep but ... Read More »
3 lessons learned & random miscellany
Lesson #1: Don't recycle bird nests for bird use If you have ever wondered if you could trick a fallen baby bird by putting it into a nest that's not it's own just know it doesn't work. The rescue attempt is a kind hearted move but the bird will fly out immediately and make a beak dive and injure it's other wing. We have six bird nests that we've recovered from our ferns on ...

Two nightmares in one day
The first nightmare involved spending close to two hours wearing a paper towel in the OBGYN's office and I was not a happy camper. Grumpy and stomach growling I decided to drive through Chick-Filet on this perfectly sunny day. They are the only fast food restaurant that can successfully facilitate a triple wrapped line of cars at lunch time in just 10 minutes. I noticed there ... Read More »
Risking silly for the sake of sanity
Sometimes you just have to get your silly on and act nine years old again. That's what a friend and I did the other weekend. She's walking a very difficult road right now but has somehow (only the grace of God) maintained the ability to laugh and keep her focus on Jesus. I admire her for running to Jesus when it would be so much easier to throw up her hands and give up. We went ... Read More »
Horrifying Handbag Shopping Experience
It was supposed to be a fabulous day of picking out my long awaited and saved up for handbag. And I mean a nice handbag. I'm the kind of handbag girl that changes out her purse twice a year. Spring/Summer bag and a Fall/Winter bag and that's it. And usually it's a cute but cheap bag by 9 West or something like that however I've had the bug lately to get a nice purse. That's why ...

First day of school and a few interventions
The first day of school didn't exactly get off to a great start yesterday. It started with this dreadfully wrong picture: Our son attends a small Christian school and this is his first year attending class in the high school building instead of the elementary building. He said he was okay with it if we walked him to his class. So here we are - "the family" in tow walking ... Read More »
