It has been a couple months since I sat down to write. It's a busy time of year, after all. There was one subject that I started to write about several times but chickened out every time. Maybe some day... My holiday season has been as usual, I suppose. Lots of things to do, traditions … Continue reading JESUS is My Resolution

The Calling of Motherhood
Several years ago when I just had the one child -- she was about 6 at the time -- I was struggling. Restless. Anxious. Eager to be doing something for God. I had ideas but time, energy, and lack of childcare were a hindrance. I felt useless. I cried often during this time. My heart … Continue reading The Calling of Motherhood
Bedtime Bliss
My girls' bedtime is one of my favorite times of the day. I know, I know that just sounds terrible. I promise I love and enjoy them, but I look forward to the quiet at the end of the day. Some days more than others. I also enjoy the quiet before they wake up in … Continue reading Bedtime Bliss
Smoke Alarms & Other Things That Go In The Night
If you've never been woken from good, solid sleep by a smoke alarm, then please trade smoke alarms with me. I'd just like to know why the batteries only want to die while I'm sleeping. They can't do it during the day, for some reason. It's just evil, I tell ya. I already have a hard … Continue reading Smoke Alarms & Other Things That Go In The Night
Killing the Tooth Fairy
"Some days I wish that the tooth fairy and other mythical creatures weren't so mythical. But on second thought, I get annoyed with house flies, so I'm not sure I'd really want a fairy flying through my house at night while carrying tiny, sharp teeth."
#SingleMomLife
You know what's hard about being a single mom, especially a single mom to a toddler? I'm never not mom. I don't know what has taken over my daughter lately but she has turned alien. She may fool you all into thinking she's just darling, but behind these doors she can be a sticky little … Continue reading #SingleMomLife
Why Did You Doubt?
If you ever want to see how far you've come, keep a journal. Or a sketchbook, or blog, or some type of visual record that you can look back on. That's exactly what I'm doing tonight. I came to bed with a lot of thoughts, so I pulled out my little journal that I had … Continue reading Why Did You Doubt?
I Am Not A Single Mom
Yesterday I shared a bit about the women's conference I went to. I briefly shared about some stones. I'm going to elaborate on those stones today. As I shared in my post, we each chose a stone, but I didn't share why. In the sanctuary were three large wooden crosses. At each cross they placed a … Continue reading I Am Not A Single Mom
Week ???
I don't even know. I've kinda lost it. We've been busy, I've been lazy... It just hasn't happened. And every time I determine to start again that day or the next day, something happens (or doesn't happen) that makes a workout next to impossible. I've not even paid much attention to the Fitbit because it's … Continue reading Week ???
Finding Flowers From Concrete
The schools call it Summer "vacation", but so far it does not feel like a vacation. I am worn out!! It may be a vacation for the kids and the school employees, but it sure isn't a vacation for the parents. Shew! On top of "normal" stuff, I've picked up my online rating job again … Continue reading Finding Flowers From Concrete
