Trainin’ Up a Boy! (Random Thou...
Being a mom of a young boy is such a joy, (I am truly blessed to experience both). However, not growing up with boys in my family, I have to admit I was a little nervous. But, in my journey through motherhood, I have learned to fully rely on God. He truly equips us for all that he puts before us.
The other life lesson that I have always be [...]
Preschool Review
Gigi’s last day of school was chalk full of fun!
Lots of fun memories this school year, so many good friendships formed, great teachers and so much individual growth. Much like, her big brother, G really benefited from this experience.
Last days are so bittersweet, especially for mom. My babies are growing so fast, how is it possible? [...]
Many May Blessings
Some days when you think you just cannot make it through the day, life gives you a reality check.
1. I am so grateful that my children have chosen good, respectful friends at school.
2. I am equally grateful that they have had great teachers this year.
3. I am blessed beyond belief for the husband that I have, who loves us and provides for [...]

Fun Coininkydink
I wonder if it was a vibe or a family thing. But, today we had a couple possible options on what to do for dinner. When all was said and done, our craving for our favorite pizza won. We asked our family friends to meet us at Guiseppies for dinner. After a great dinner and fun with friends we loaded our family up in our car and were ready [...]
Heaven Sent
Anyone who has kids knows how wonderful being a parent is, even during the more difficult seasons. That being said, I am amazed how easy it is to get wrapped up in a difficult phase and how it can consume you with worry, guilt and fear. (That probably will never change, right?) As parents, we want what is best for our children; we want the [...]
Spring Break
Day One: 61 degrees, no snow – yet! Lovely, sunny, warm. Outside most of the day. Playing, a walk to Grandma’s house and back, more playing outside. Wonderful day!
Day Two: 65 degrees, breezy but warm. Went to Grandpa’s office for the morning, had lunch and played outside with good friends. “This is a gre [...]
Gigi or Not So Much?
One afternoon, while playing quietly on her own, or so we thought we found our silly girl hanging out with her K-9 pals and a friend that appeared to look just like herself. In fact, this ‘person’ had even taken her clothes. Take a look…

Yet One More Talent…..
Spring time discovery!
This weekend, we did a little <very little> yard work (clean-up and surveying of the damage caused by another Winter). As we walked around the yard to plan out what needs to be tackled this Spring, we noticed that our Aspen grove seemed really sparse compared to how it looked in the fall. We were very puzzled [...]
