Before: After And let's not forget about the potty chair. Oh my word, I just noticed the stain under the potty chair and it looks like somebody "missed" HA! but I swear that stain has been on the floor since we bought the house - it is so not what it looks like. Bahaha!!!! I know you think you have the greatest sister in the world but it's actually me that has the ... Read More »

It’s all about where you let your focus land
What do you see in these two pictures? A laid up chick surrounded by..... ice packs & meds A potty chair, wheelchair and walker? Or the blessings Of cards from both young and old....(thank you preschool, 2nd and 4th grade and cheerleaders at CBS!) The encouragement shared through flowers and written sentiments from those who swing by. Where my eyes land and ... Read More »
Blogging through the real and the hard #anxiety
I desire to be as honest as I can be in this blog space for the glory of God and building up of others. Okay, and for my own sanity because I process life many times through stringing words together and slapping them down on paper. There are things of course that I can't always share in this space for confidentiality and respect issues but I want to speak from the depths of my ... Read More »
Because you’re never too old for affirmation.
A mentor taught me years ago the beauty of affirmation. You know.....telling someone the character qualities that stand out to you. Building them up through words of encouragement. It's not flattery because the focus is not on complimenting but on speaking positive truth into someone's life for the purpose of identifying what God is doing in that person. It's like a verbal ...

April Fool’s 2015 in our household
And I thought April Fool's Day was going to be a total bust this year! Sophie and I have been sick all week with the flu I think? - didn't even think you were allowed to get the flu in the Spring but apparently it's perfectly legal because we've had it since Saturday. When I realized it was April Fool's and I had no energy to be pulling a prank I was so sad. Like seriously sad ... Read More »
I’m that ‘well she tries’ girl in the kitchen
It was a long-time-waiting warm Spring day outside yesterday. And those kinds of days make me do crazy things all in the name of warm weather. I dreamed up this visual in my head of our family rocking on the rocking chairs of our Southern front porch eating warm pound cake with strawberries and watching traffic drive by. As if any of us have time for that but it sure sounded ... Read More »
Dad’s, date your daughters before others do.
Dads, you will never know how much special time with your daughter means to her. All little girls desire to be cherished and loved by her earthly Daddy. And nothing says "I love you" more than special time set up for just you and her. A Daddy-daughter date. A Father reaches a daughter's heart in a unique way that a Mother can't and so that special time together is so ... Read More »
A new kind of Spring blooms you will just love!
This is my idea of the perfect set of blooms because you don't have to remember to water them and they stay yellow year round. Heck you can even snag a cup of water on a rainy day without having to go back inside. For real, how red neck can you get? Our son put these out for some air soft target shooting this week. I thought it was pretty clever. And tacky. They will probably ... Read More »
