I got an iPhone 4s {insert geeky squeal here} right before Christmas! I am in love with this gadget, particularly the Pinterest app and Instagram. Imagine my delight in finding a bloggy link-up for sharing your photos from the week {cause I take a ridiculous amount of photos with my phone}. Here is my week…

A Pat on the Back
We have a special family. Knitted together by God. Shayla became ours when she was 18 and blessed us with the gift of having Sweet Pea in our lives {she is a rowdy and adorable 15 month old right now} Jason was Mike’s son from his first marriage but because of abuse and neglect came…
Ready or not
Fourteen years ago today, my youngest son was born. His birth was traumatic for my 18 year old self. My water broke in the car on the way to the hospital and he was born in the hallway as I was wheeled off the elevator to the labor and delivery floor. Matthew was coming, whether…
Covenant and the sex talk
Today’s culture and society has lost sight of the seriousness of the covenant of marriage and the role of sex. Sex is symbolic of a covenant between a married man and his wife. A covenant that we will be held accountable to one day. In a culture where sex is viewed casually and more than…
School Daze
We are back in the groove, the school groove that is. Our mornings look something like this: Smack at the alarm clock at 5:30. As I come out of the room, Jared is getting in the shower and Matt is still snoring in his bed. Take Chloe {the dog} or Sweet Pea {the baby} and…
On ER visits and Facebook
I am the mama of three boys. I have experienced my fair share of emergency room visits. Nothing prepared me for Saturday. Jared had been out riding his bike. He doesn’t have his cell phone because he is on restriction. A strange number called my phone and my boy was on the other end. Obviously…
When Kids Disappoint
My two oldest sons did something not so smart over the weekend. I was disappointed in their behavior. I was angry at their deception and I was livid that they included a visiting friend in their shenanigans. Thankfully, I refrained from yelling and screaming like my flesh wanted to. After making sure everyone was safe,…
The Dating Game
God designed the relationship between a man and a woman to be a life long commitment. In our home, we do not believe that the culture of serial dating reflects God’s plan for marriage and sex. You can read the rest of my thoughts on this subject at the M.O.B Society today.
It’s summer..what to do, what to do?
Miss S. graduated last week, yesterday was Jared and Matt’s last day of school for the year and Jason finishes up on June 15th. I will have four teenagers and a nine month old Sweet Pea to entertain this summer and the concept was daunting to me. I was inspired by Amy from The Finer…
TTT- When you don’t get it
The van door opens and a sweaty, smiling, stinky boy climbs in. I prompt him to put on his seatbelt as he excitedly tells me about his evening. “My legs are numb, I think I dislocated my thumb and I have a headache from my head hitting the mat…man, wrestling is awesome!” Huh?? One…
