This is me waiting for my husband to get home. And hoping the dinner I prepared is as delicious as I’ve been imagining. I baked a loaf of Kevin’s favorite bread. And there’s a large pot of black bean soup simmering on the stovetop. I love black bean soup. Especially Panera’s. So this is me […]
The One with the Third Place Trophy
A great, busy weekend. Friday evening the youth group had committed to serving dinner for the MonARC banquet. (MonARC: Advocacy. Rights. Community. Serves the developmentally disabled of our county. The DD population is more dense in our area than in most. This is a great service.) But before that could happen, FriDAY had to be […]
The One with the Scrubbing Bubbles
As previously mentioned, I love fall. It’s my favorite season and my favorite form of weather. I’m not much of a summer gal. I prefer “warm” to “hot.” I love bundling up. And snuggling in bed under layers and layers of blankets. But. I also like having the option to wear something other than long […]
The One with the Sleep Walking
My husband was kind enough to force me to sleep in this morning. He was waking up at 5:45 for breakfast with Ben. I really didn’t want to wake up then. He told me to just sleep. And not to be mad at myself for being “lazy” when I woke up after 7. “Ok,” I […]
The One with Pumpkins
This is getting a little ridiculous. I have had to start keeping a list of topics I want to write about because it’s taking me forever to find the time to sit down and spit it out. So many great things. Lots of rants. New stories. I’m not sure where to begin. Ok. I’ve decided […]
The One with the Pink
So by now you probably know about my online AVON store. And how I’m an Independent Sales Rep. I also happen to be a big fan of AVON merchandise. Have been since I was a little girl. Before makeup was at all important to me. There are some fabulous deals all over AVON. And many […]
The One with Many Hats
I don’t know which is worse. Having a super stuffy nose and needing to blow it, but with no avail. Or have an incessantly leaky nose, leading to very sore nostrils. I’ve had both in the last 2 days. And sinus headaches. And migraines. And achy ness. It’s lame. All this hit me from nowhere […]
The One with First things First
I need you to pray. Pray hard. For Jennie. For Nich. For Hailey. And for their little tiny babies that are such fragile gifts from our God. Precious Katelyn pressed on as long as she could. Now she is with Jesus. And may his Spirit be ever present with Katelyn’s Mommy & Daddy. And all […]
The One with the Sudsy Water Fights
It’s interesting. The glorious habits of nature. That go unnoticed far too often. The sun rises and sets. Each day. The same. But the skies around it change. Adding to its brilliant movements. Tonight we went on a stroll at dusk. It was perfect. Not just the time together. Talking. Being. Relaxing. But taking note […]
The One with the Newbies
I’m sorry for being a lame-o this week. I kept thinking, “I’m gonna write about this or that.” But sitting down and getting it done was another thing entirely. My life has gotten progressively busier in the last few months. Funny how that happens. I’m pretty creeped out right now. The last two mornings I’ve […]
