This was very shocking to my children, but I don’t think they are too traumatized. They were so shocked that Mommy was writing on the wall! Refer to the previous post to see the end result of my painting.

A Small Makeover For Our Wall
I endured the wall like this for a while. [Sorry for the bad quality pictures. I'm into videography, not photography.] It’s some pictures I picked up at a thrift shop for really cheap. Not the greatest, but I thought I could use the frames. Almost a year later I had done nothing with them. The [...]
Free Mommy Cards
You don’t have to be a mother to use these cards. You could even be a man ~ gasp. There are multitudes of uses that run through my brain. New baby, new house, new friend, newlywed or not so new; doesn’t matter. Kodak has a special for 50 free business size photo cards. I’m assuming [...]
Do Your Children Pick Your Flowers?
My mom always let me pick flowers. There was a little jar under the sink that I could use for dandelion, buttercup, and clover bouquets. When I was allowed to use the clippers she let me cut dandelions and tulips to wrap in a wet paper towel and foil and take to my teachers. The [...]
Why I Left My Baby Overnight
The first time I was away from my firstborn overnight he was five months old. He was eating baby cereal, but still nursing a lot. It was a big deal to hand him to my mom and get in our vehicle knowing I would be gone all night. My mother was totally calm about the [...]
Falling Is Not Fun
Some people like free-falling, and I guess that falling in love might be fun; but most falls are not fun. Yesterday I fell. It sounds simple when I say it like that. Like I stumbled over something or missed a few steps. But that’s not what happened. I fell. The bad, screaming kind of fall. I [...]
My New Necklace From Vintage Pearl
Mother’s Day is coming up. Need a present for a lady in your life? Check out The Vintage Pearl. Okay, commercial over. At the Blissdom conference I received a gift certificate for The Vintage Pearl. I decided to use part of my favorite Bible verse on the necklace. It says, “all things work together for [...]
You Make My Heart Melt
This morning I had a real life moment when I needed the snowman from the Yahoo Messenger audibles. My 5 year old daughter wrapped her arms around my waist, smiled up at me, and said, “I’m in love with you.” I’m usually weary Friday mornings because my man works all day Thursdays. That certainly made [...]
How Hard Do You Work?
I’ll be totally honest and say that some weeks I just get by. I do what has to be done – the homeschooling, the dishes, the laundry – but nothing extra. Those weeks I’m usually lagging behind. I upped my game last week. I worked hard. I even exercised 3 times! I’m not saying that [...]
A Stay At Home Dad For A Week
Wednesday night was the first night I did dishes in 10 days! Believe me, I didn’t miss it one bit. Last week my husband and I had a taste of each other’s normal roles. A small taste, but it helped us understand each other a little better. For 3 days I was the one getting [...]
