  • Thank Your Favorite Blogger…

    Okay – so I started a little link ‘love-a-thon’.
    Let me explain…
    Over at Faith Lifts today, I asked our readers to post about which blogger inspires them. Who do they think everyone needs to read? Whose faith lifts them up?
    Then, of course, I added a Mr. Linky so we could find all these great posts.
    So, [...]

    Chaotic Home’s “Thanks For Mothers” contest.

    “The Best Mom in the Whole Wide World”
    How many little voices have chimed those words, how many little fingers have gripped crayons and created masterpieces for their moms – the best mom in the whole wide world?
    I suppose there are millions of the “best” out there – [...]

  • I’ll give you a hint – it starts with a ‘D’

    When I was growing up, my mom was a busy woman. (She still is in fact!) With four kids, a husband that traveled frequently and a full time job working at my father’s office, I never saw her sit down to relax except for a rare cup of tea.
    She was a flurry of productivity. [...]

  • My Testimony

    It wasn’t dramatic or shocking. There were no sudden tears or overnight transformations. In fact, I am sitting here, staring at a blank screen, trying to figure how I should share my “testimony.”
    You see, I can’t even tell you what my life was like before I became a Christian. I don’t have any real [...]

  • Need to Spice up your Play Life?

    Sadly, summer is ending. Soon it will be too cold to run through the sprinkler and go to the beach. The long days of outdoor play will abruptly end.
    Instead, we will be shuttling our kids from school, to sports, to music class and then back again. Somehow we will fit in trips to the grocery [...]

  • The Joy of Laundry

    How many loads of laundry will the average mother do in her lifetime?
    The thought amuses me while I fold. I should Google it – I am sure someone has come up with a number – but I won’t. I have too much laundry to put away before I go pick up Jackson from bike [...]

  • Something Funny, Something New…

    Darren from ProBlogger is hosting a Group Writing Project on the topic of “Lists”.
    Bloggers can submit “lists” about anything for a chance to win some serious prizes. But most importantly, it’s a fun way to find some new reading material.
    Here’s my list:

  • Photographing Babies

    Have you noticed I love taking photos — I mean really love it? If you knew me in the flesh, you would know I am happiest with my Nikon D70 in front of my face, clicking away, capturing my two precious loves — Jackson and Julia.
    (It is technically Susan and Rob’s camera, but we [...]

  • Growing Up…

    Jackson is four – oh pardon me – four and a half, (as he would quickly correct me if he heard me call him four,) and teetering between an attached preschooler and an independent little boy.
    At one moment he clings to me, begging for more mommy time and then at another he whispers to [...]
