“My God is greater than my grief. My Lord is larger than my loss. My Savior’s stronger than my sorrow.” –Pastor Rick Warren I just saw this on a friend’s Facebook page and felt so encouraged by Pastor Rick Warren’s words about God’s power over grief, sadness, and loss. If you don’t know already know, … Continue reading »
Gahhhh! We are currently in the middle of an intense heat wave where I live, so it has been quite a lazy day today. I have nary the desire to do anything whatsoever that involves “work,” or moving in general, so I thought I would take some leisure time to post pics from Mothers Day. Our celebration was intimate. … Continue reading »
Happy Mothers Day! Enjoy being spoiled and pampered on this special day because you deserve it! A tribute to you all, because I know you’ve experienced this at least once or more in your lives–or DAY for that matter!
Look carefully at each picture. What do all these images have in common? … … … … **Answer: Okay, technically nothing. But it was fun thinking about it for a while, wasn’t it?? Well, for you, the reader these images really don’t have anything in common. For me though, these images all have to do … Continue reading »
This past week I’ve come to realize just how important thumbs are. I mean, I already knew they were important. But over the past few days, because I rendered my right thumb practically useless, my whole right hand has undoubtedly decided that it wants to be useless too. By now you’re probably wondering what happened … Continue reading »
Hi everyone! This is a belated Easter post, but I hope that everyone’s Resurrection Sunday was blessed! As usual, I am forever grateful and thankful to God for giving us all the gift of forgiveness and healing through the death and resurrection of His son, Jesus! ♥ It was a little tricky trying to explain the Resurrection … Continue reading »

You’ve probably heard me mention this before, but I am notoriously late when it comes to catching on to new trends. Well, mostly anyway. Sometimes, when I have my Sassy-Pants on, I can’t help but think “Ugh! Been there, done that!” But really, for the most part, I’m so behind/uninterested in the new fads and … Continue reading »
One of the best things about having kids is that instead of pretend dolls, you now have the real live thing to play dress up with. Granted, the best kind of kid to play dress up with would ultimately have to be a girl (waaay more fashion options) but I will say that little boy clothing nowadays has shifted in a … Continue reading »
For a while I’ve dabbled with the idea to make my own playdough for the boys to play with. I mean, not that I have anything against store bought Play Doh. It’s both nostalgic and lovely all around. But every now and then I like to use my Ingenious Mom Powers and wow my kids … Continue reading »
Elijah: “Mommy, I’m going to the Fire Station!” Me: “Oh yeah? For a fieldtrip? How cool!” Elijah: “Can you come with me?” Go with you to see a bunch of beefy firemen talk all about firetrucks and fire safety? Are you kidding me?! Ummmm, yes, please! Took you long enough to ask me! Me: “Yes, … Continue reading »
Hi everyone! I’ll spare you the sappy Valentine-sy post, and just wish you all a simple, heartfelt “Happy Valentines Day!” Heart. X’s and O’s. Roses. Candy. Smooches. What I really wanted to post about is how proud I am of my little preschooler, who was made “Special Star” this week in his class. Eli had … Continue reading »
First off, let me start by wishing you all a Happy New Year! I hope your first day into 2013 was blessed in some special kind of way. To start of my New Year, I begin by saying that I am so grateful and thankful to my God, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for another year … Continue reading »
This pic was taken a few hours before midnight on New Year’s Eve. In the essence of passing time, Ezekiel seems to prefer the old fashioned way…
As many of you already know, I am love-love-LOVING Snoopy’s Street Fair for iOS. If you don’t know what SSF is, it’s basically a game where you have an empty piece of space that you build up into a “street fair” with all sorts of stalls and decorations. With each stall or decoration, you accumulate … Continue reading »
Raindrops: Yes. Roses: Yes. Whiskers on kittens: No. Sorry Cat lovers. While kittens are cute and cuddly when they’re babies, I don’t fancy them much after. What I do love however, is singing this festive song whenever Christmas comes around. “My Favorite Things” reminds me greatly of my past childhood Christmases where I am spending … Continue reading »
My heart is aching for all those who have lost a friend, family member, and especially a child in the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting. I pray for God’s comfort and peace for all who are suffering amidst this terrible tragedy. :( My thoughts are with you….
Hi everyone! Sorry I haven’t been posting as much lately. Every year around this time is always so busy! It seems that along with all the major holidays, everyone and their mom has their birthday in December, so there are parties to plan and parties to attend. My church has been prepping for our upcoming … Continue reading »
I think any parent can attest that one of the ways you can tell your kids are growing up is by being able to look at their first school picture. I posted a little ways back about Elijah taking his preschool pictures. I prayed and prayed he would at least have one good one, and … Continue reading »
