150 Words or Less

 Following Melissa’s lead http://trademark311.blogspot.com/ I decided to write my story of how I came to Jesus in 150 words or less.  It was super difficult to do but really helped me figure out the important key parts to my story in how I have become who I am today.

I was raised in the church.  [...]

I like clean floors

Last night our Bible study had a night at the church building doing some work.  Closets were organized, the kitchen was partially cleaned, a room was painted, and furniture was put together.  It was a fantastic, and super productive evening.  Our girls came with us because a sitter is hard to find these days.  Grace [...]

Green is a great color!

I love the color green.  It isn’t my favorite color though…that would be blue.  But I love green because of how it looks on me and goes with my eyes, because of the freshness it brings to the outdoors in spring and summer, because of the different shades in the fall. Green is a color [...]

Lightening up

I am so excited!  I have bags full of clothes to get rid of.  I mean BAGS!  It feels so good to lighten up everyone’s wardrobe around here.  Living in a small place has really forced me to be picky about what things can stay in our home.  I’ve surprised myself with being able to [...]

conversing with a one year old

The following is what takes place between me and my 1 year old daughter pretty much every day multiple times.
Me: say mama

Becca: da da da da
Me: MaMa MaMa
Becca: DA DA DA DA
Me: MAMA
Becca: DADA
Becca:  Giggles
Me: I can’t help but laugh too!

Pondering thoughts

What does it mean to be a Homemaker?  When you look at the title it obviously would mean to be a maker of a home.  But, I think there is a whole lot more to that.  I am a homemaker and I am constantly learning how to be just that.  It seems like such a [...]

whatnot

Becca is sick.  She’s had a high fever for 3 days in a row now with no other symptoms except being extra sleepy and cuddly.  I finally took her to the doctor and it turns out that she has an ear infection and a viral infection that is showing up in her throat via the [...]

*Gush*

Grace was so sweet with me just a bit ago.  She was watching me brush my hair and came up to me and said, “mommy, you are butiful.”  It was so precious in her little girl voice and pronunciation.  She definitely warmed up my mommy heart.

Today is the day!

My sweet daughter Grace is going to preschool for the first time this morning.  I cannot believe it!  She is so excited….ready for this additional seperation from me.  She looks fantastic as well.  Her signiture smile is constant on her face this morning and let me just say that her outfit is sooooo cute!  I [...]

ah, the love of lunges

I like to lunge while I walk.  It’s true.  If I’m walking for exercise and not breaking out in a sweat then to work my body harder – to push myself that extra mile – I lunge.  It’s actually kind of fun to do and I’m usually pushing a stroller which helps me balance better.  [...]
