Random Thoughts of Reality
I am not one to write all of the raw emotions that life can throw my way. My blogging and journals are to remind me of the blessings that fill my life. However, in the past couple of years I have learned that many blessing do and can come from the darkest times of our lives. That realization in itself was a huge blessing to me and I hold [...]
Tea for 2 Times 12
If your birthday is in July in our home, which is every one but me, we celebrate ALL month long. By August 1st, I am partied out!
This year my son opted out of a party (smart boy) for a bigger gift which worked out fabulously because my daughter wanted a party with all her friends, of course I had to bring her back to earth and ask her to l [...]
New Love
Don’t you just love it when dreams come true? I am a lover of fairy tales at heart. Thank you God for giving me a little girl and to be able to share some of those dreams with her.
For as long as I remember my Gillian has wanted to work with animals, she is very passionate about dogs and horses specifically. Although would not turn h [...]
Lillian’s Turn
In addition to Gillian getting her ears pierced for her birthday, we decided her “Just Like Me” doll also needed to get her ears pierced. So up to Denver we go to the American Girl store so that Lillian could have a day at the spa.
Lillian got lots of pampering that day. She got her hair done for the big birthday tea party and [...]
Milestone Hit
I still remember the burning desire to get my ears pierced as a young girl. Daddy was not convinced and said I had to wait until I was 13. Although it was a very special thing to do when I turned 13 it seemed like FOR-EV-ER!
Kip and I initially told Gillian she had to wait until she was 10, but we surprised her this year by letting her get h [...]

A Link to Heaven
This past memorial day weekend marks 11 years that we lost our first peanut in a very traumatic event. It is still a vividly painful memory, but clearly one of those times that God works His good in times of pain and suffering.
Even though our baby was only 8 weeks when the tube ruptured and stole ‘her’ life and left me clinging [...]
Pretty In Pink
Gillian had her first ballet recital with Turning Point Ballet Studio, what a breath of fresh air it was. Most of the songs that the dancers danced to were Christian Worship songs. What a wonderful way for these young girls to glorify God.
The song that Gillian danced to was The Brahms Lullaby, she was in a light pink tu-tu with a sparkly t [...]
Tinkies
How blessed am I to be a mommy? So often I wonder “how crazy it is that my son and daughter or so extremely opposite”, but when I really focus on what God has given me, I realize I could not be any more blessed- unless I could have had more just like them!
On our wonderful trip this past weekend my daughter and I were able to go [...]
