Thankful Day 2

I know…I said all week. I’m sorry. I am glad you are eager to read my thankful posts 🙂 Just kidding…. Being thankful is a state of mind. I really believe this. And I guess you need to think about it everyday…not just at this time of year. That being said, I’ve been thinking about […]

Thankful Day 1

                  You know that feeling of being overwhelmed with love? I felt it with all three of the births of my children, and when I got married. I also felt it way back when I met my best girlfriend-Sarah. Recently, I’ve experienced it again. And I don’t […]

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

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 […]
