Endorphins
Endorphins? They don’t get near enough credit. But, those little surges of natural energy sure do make the day more enjoyable. That being said, why don’t I remember that and make a point getting my daily dose?
I am once again on day one of trying to establish a good habit (walking/running). Why are the good habits so much har [...]

My Life Long Covenant to My Valentine...
I love being married.
Let me clarify, I love being married to Kip, my husband for nearly 16 years.
The best years of our marriage began, not surprisingly, once we welcomed our God into our marriage. Is it always perfect? Absolutely not, but we now have all of the tools we need to make it through all of the difficult times.

Valentines Day
I couldn’t resist the opportunity to share a few thoughts about Valentines Day.
As adults we often find ourselves merely going through the motions for this holiday of LOVE. Just recently I saw this on a piece of flair “Happy Forced Love Day!” and had to laugh. It seems we adults put too much pressure on ourselves to make t [...]
Wii-Connecting
I have never been good at video games and was a Wii bit skeptical about The Wii. Could it really fun for the whole family? Would it pass the “I Must Be Good At This The First Time or I Will Never Try This Again!” test? Surely not.
Although I have not mastered any game yet, I am having LOTS of fun trying. I love that Kip and I [...]
Family Night
It really is a blessing when the visions you have for your family actually turn out as you expected (or at least very, very close).
Kip started our family night out with one of our favorite passages in the Bible; we listened as Kip read the story of Ruth to us. We had some great conversations and narration about this amazing story. What a p [...]
Seeing Life through the Eyes of Chris...
As a Christian, my desire is to see life and circumstances through the Eyes of Christ our Savior. What does that mean exactly?
Well an excerpt from a book that I am reading “How People Change” illustrated it very simply.
“Imagine a house for sale as a “Handyman special.” One buyer sees the house as it is, crumb [...]
My Son, The Cub Scout
New Seasons, new adventures.
Tonight, we celebrated! Not necessarily for the inauguration, but because our son officially became a Cub Scout. My heart beamed when I saw H in his uniform for the first time. He looked so grown up and so handsome.

A Noteworthy Funny
….more about the Russell dogs!
When we adopted Piper into our home several months ago, Kip and I can be heard calling out to the dogs (while they are outside barking) to get into the house. I am certain all that they hear is “aladldiofoadgakgkfdfhfkahfdfhkahha!@$#$#$#$#” But, what we and everyone else hears is “Zipp [...]
Girls Best Friend
I do believe that Gigi will be very sad when our sweet house guest leaves us and goes back to his family.
G loves animals very much, however with our three dogs she has to bribe, capture and hold them hostage in order to hang out with them. But, with Digory it has been completely different, he enjoys her company and all she has to do is call [...]
