A few Sundays ago, my Pastor said something that struck me. “Rid yourself of everything that doesn’t bring you Joy.” I agree. It really struck me. I decided that this was how I would measure things that come up in my life. I need to bring Joy to my household, including my kids. This is […]

Twenty…
Today it has been Twenty years. Twenty Years since I moved here. Twenty Years since I first had a hard time making new friends. Twenty Years since I learned that everyone wasn’t always as nice as they seemed. Twenty Years since I really realized Family always has your back. In Twenty Years I have […]
Sometimes….
Sometimes, I don’t have very many words to write. Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words. (This image is from Pinterest …But I just can’t figure out the whole new way to embed photos. […]
My Friends, Momma….
Proverbs 17:17 (The Message) Friends love through all kinds of weather, and families stick together in all kinds of trouble. Today I finally heard the words that I had been waiting to hear for a while now. “Can I go sit with my friends, Mommy?” Lil A’ and Lil E’ were sitting at a large […]

Easter, Day 3..and 4
With the girls back today, I thought we’d do a few crafts. I had everything planned out. And it lasted a whole 10 minutes! 10 Minutes! A very big surprise. But the Mister is home for a few days, so he is a major distraction to my crafting rituals with the girls. Here’s what we […]
Easter week, Day 2
Today, the girls went to visit their Nana. That being said, while I know they did Easter things there, I have yet to discover what they were. They get to have a sleep over. So I will let you know all about those exciting crafts and snacks tomorrow. But for today, I wanted to share […]
