God really seems to be answering my prayers in how to mother my eldest… we had a bit of a rough start on Monday (it’s been rough all summer), but seriously, since then it has only gone uphill. Thank you God! I think I was trying to do to much of this parenting stuff on [...]

what grace said
So Grace is into playing pretend lately – which is awesome. She often is the mom or daughter and will make Becca (often without her knowing that she’s playing the same game) pretend to be some other family member. It’s super cute and brings back lots of memories for me. Playing “house” used to be [...]

He’s back…it’s time for a happy dance! =)
Rich made it home safe and sound last night around 7:30 =). The relief I felt was just pure joy!!! He even put the girls to bed too which was such a blessing to me because the patience and energy that I felt double blessed with for while he was away was on empty. Seriously, I feel [...]

Best Blueberry Muffins Ever!
Ok, so according to my husband, the blueberry muffins that I made this week are the best he’s ever had. Wow. I was really surprised by this since I’m often experimenting and have interesting results that don’t always go over so well. So here’s my recipe for them if you are interested. You of course [...]

Black. Red. White
I just finished reading a trilogy by Ted Dekker. It’s christian fiction – but not the cheesey type. Rich is even into reading it now and that’s saying something since he hardly ever reads fiction. He’s more of a serious person than I am =). Anyway, the books are titled Black, Red, and White. They [...]
