Before I tell you about this link up and share with you what we did this week, I want to tell you a story: A mother in her early thirties stands in line at a grocery store ready to checkout. She glances at her groceries on the conveyer belt silently adding their cost up in her head.  The total will come close to the cash she has in her wallet. Continue Reading

JDaniel has a tendency to move things around or cause them to temporarily disappear.Rather than put up anything breakable that would be greatly missed if it ceases to de we decided Continue Reading

What Are Your Christmas Morning Traditions?

By

I love holiday traditions. One of the ones I remember from my childhood is opening presents on Christmas morning as a family. Presents would be distributed into piles. My mom, two sisters, and I would each take a turn opening one of our presents. It was great to get to see what others were opening as well as have everyone watching me when it was my Continue Reading

Explaining How Santa Isn’t Everywhere to JDaniel

By

Last year I tried to avoid emphasizing the Santa part of the holidays and really tried to focus on it being Jesus’ birthday. My sister Michelle told me that it would be impossible. “Santa is everywhere!” she said and she was right. JDaniel became convinced of Santa after a visit to BiLo. This year I have been presented with a new Santa dilemma. Continue Reading

I love getting to see glimpse into the wonderful family she is raising with her husband when I stop by. I know you will too.   When the Continue Reading

Why Deciding to Sleep at the Airport was a Bad Idea!

When flew home from your family reunion on Saturday, we had a layover in Chicago. We had done the same thing when we headed to the reunion last Tuesday. In fact we had to take a shuttle from one terminal to another on Saturday just as we had last Tuesday.When we boarded the shuttle on Saturday, JDaniel was really upset. He clung to my side and Continue Reading

Delightfully Living in the Clouds

By

We spent Thanksgiving at Mount Magazine State Park in Arkansas.  Each family was assigned a cabin overlooking the valley below to stay in. When I looked out the glass doors that lead to the deck our first morning there, here is what I saw. It truly looked like we would be walking on clouds if we stepped a few yards away from the cabin. When I Continue Reading
