Tears
“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love.” ~ Washington Irving.
Gillian’s Christmas Makeover
OH WHAT FUN!
I remember as a little girl, I always wanted a window seat in my room. Unfortunately, in my childhood bedroom that was never possible. But, when Gilli got into reading and she expressed that same desire, I went to town with the idea and decided that this would be a great idea for a Christmas present.
I, of course, gathered a [...]
Random Thoughts
Been thinking about mom a lot today. The thoughts are all so overwhelming. I mostly keep it together, but sometimes it hits me.
Trust in HIM, Kimberly
Life is precious.
My Mom is precious, lovely, sweet, kind, giving, talented, genuine.
My babies love their grammy so much. They are hurting and are being too brave about it.

All I Want For Christmas
…..is my mommy back.
Christmas is nearly a week away, goodness gracious. I had visions of being on top of everything, apparently God had a different plan. Even though my cards are not addressed and ready to go, and my shopping is barely started and we are behind on our advent reading, I do feel that I have been given the greatest Ch [...]

Holiday Recap! Let̵ [...]
My Little American Heritage Girl
After looking up to her big brother this past year when he joined Cub Scouts, Gigi was so excited to be part of her own troop. My little Pathfinder loves going to her meetings, wearing her uniform and singing their songs.
This is our troops inaugural year, so it is extra special that she was able to be part of this. She is in the youngest [...]
Adaptation from John Knox’s Lit...
This confession of sin is one of my favorites. I had to find it and journal it so I wouldn’t forget it.
Almighty God, we are unworthy to come into your presence, because of our many sins. We do not deserve any grace or mercy from you, if you dealt with us as we deserve. We have sinned against you, O Lord, and we have offended you. [...]
The Precious Little Things
My favorite days are days that are not so jam packed that I can sit back and enjoy the blessings around me.
Our Fall break starts out just like that.
After getting SUPERB reports from both kids teachers at Parent Teacher Conference on Thursday I realize how blessed we are this year to have such great teachers for our precious kids. Both te [...]
Eye for Fashion
Since Gigi was three and able to dress herself, she has had an amazing eye for putting outfits together.
Recently, she came up with this outfit. Although not modest, I thought it was very creative. She layered two ballet skirts for a dress and added matching accessories. What really caught my eye is that of all of the little hand bags she [...]
