Thankful for…

This week is the week before Thanksgiving here in Canada (for my American readers-the pilgrims landed here first you know-wink, wink). Last week, Lil’ A and I put together our fall mantel, and as always, the focus is being thankful. I have so many things to be thankful for. I don’t really feel one is […]

Hiatus

  Have you ever just wanted to crawl away and hide? I used to love to make forts inside my closet as a kid. I’d close the door and use a flashlight to read a stack of books. My door had slats in it, so I could see out, but no one could tell that […]

This Guy…

This post was started on our 10th anniversary back in June…however I was busy embracing life with my adventurous family. And that is always more important than blogging. While I’ve had so many great posts working in the tablets in my head, I haven’t found the time nor energy to write them just yet. So […]

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 […]
