[This is a paid post. See my full disclaimer at the end of my post.] One would think that because my Mom has cancer (and lives 1000 miles away), that I would do a much better job of sending her pictures of her grand-babies. I depend way to much on technology and videophones to keep her up… [Read More]
I Don’t “Want” to Believe Anymore
Our family loves the “magic” of the holidays. Sneaky Elfs, Old St. Nick, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny. My kids also believe in tangle fairies and treat monsters too.

Just a Call Away – Kristina Adkins’ Story & Song
A few weeks ago my friend Jennifer shared the photo of a newborn baby laying across her mother’s chest. Normally a beautiful picture but this one was tainted by the tubes and machines surrounding the mother. A simple request to “pray for Kristina” was attached.

{Pregnancy} What Fruit is My Baby?
Perhaps one of the strangest things about being pregnant in this world of technology is all the pregnancy information that is out there.

Mom of the Week! That’s Right, I Did a Craft
Confession: I am not crafty. I don’t bake bread from scratch. I have never even made cookies from the back of the Toll House bag. I am basically unfit and am lucky that my kids make it to school with their hair and teeth brushed in the morning. However, I just couldn’t bring myself to buy another… [Read More]
Dancing Man! A Bright Spot in a Rather Dull Day

This song was on and he just started dancing. Made my heart smile!I had to share this video. He looks… [Read More]
I Don’t Want to Be a Paranoid Mama
We live in large planned community that is surrounded by farms. No major crimes, kids run free in the parks, there are not even any registered sex offenders within a significant radius of our community. Overall, I would consider our area to be safe. As safe as any small town neighborhood can be these days. However, since the… [Read More]
