We are a camping family. If you would have told me that statement would ever be true about me when I was younger, I would have belly-laughed. God has a sense of humor and gave this girly girl all boys {for most of her life} so camping has become a family tradition. The boys love…

The Least of These
***Update: I found out today that Reece’s Rainbow has over half a million dollars waiting to help families adopt these precious children. Please pray over this wonderful ministry and if there is room in your heart for a beautiful child, visit Reece’s Rainbow today!*** Driving on curvy mountain roads Admiring the snow blanketing the landscape…
Blizzard Blog Hopping
My boys {I have three sons ages 17, 14 and 13} are off shoveling out driveways for our neighbors. My girl, Miss S {age 19}, is taking a nap. My Sweet Pea {age 4 1/2 months} is sitting beside her Mimi {that’s me} cooing as she is apt to do. My hubby is working in…
Peace and Quiet
Thank you all for your prayers. I had a great time speaking at a local father/daughter banquet last Friday evening and God granted me not just the words but the stamina to deliver them.

Prayer request

Do you notice how many me’s, I’s and my’s are in those questions? As God has grown our marriage and…

Learning as you go
Most weekdays, on the way home from driving Miss S. to school, I find myself behind a slow moving red car. The sign in the back window states “student driver”. I was finding myself annoyed that {seemingly} every stinkin’ morning, I got stuck behind these kids that don’t have a clue what they are doing…
thirty two
Birthdays mean more when you come close to not having another. The shift in perspective from not wanting to get older to being excited that God has granted another year on this earth. It is life changing. Not everyone gets that. And that is okay. But I get it. and so birthdays, like yesterday, full…
Candid Conversations
Last month we talked about protecting our boy’s eyes and ways we can be proactive as moms of boys in this way. In the comments many of you asked for concrete examples of what conversations like this would look like so I decided to share a few examples from my own parenting experience as well…
