When I say I do
I just returned from a well-needed, well-deserved vacation with my family to Wyoming and South Dakota. I’d like to thank my friends Jeanie and Jeanne for blogging in my place while I was away.

From Moms to Grandmas
It’s funny how when a mom becomes a grandma, all the rules that once applied to children, suddenly fly out the window. Sure sweetie, you can lick the frosting off this beater right before dinner. Absolutely, we can skip nap-time today so you can swim all afternoon. You like this cheaply made toy that will … Continue reading »
Daddy’s Girl
I’ll admit it–I’m a daddy’s girl. Or at least I was. Dad passed away 25 years ago. I remember that moment as if it were yesterday. It seemed like my life had ended, too. He was my hero, my confidant, my “always-be-there-for-you-and-by-the-way-you-can-do-no wrong-Daddy.” So when my dad died of cancer at the young age of … Continue reading »

I like making lists, getting stuff done and crossing things off. And yes, I have put something on my “to do” list that I’d already done JUST so I … Continue reading »
My Refrigerator is So Smart
No more small children in our household. Gone are the days of pictures and homework adorning the refrigerator.

The most destructive habit…………………………Worry The greatest joy………………………………………….Giving The greatest loss…………………………………………Loss … Continue reading »
Psalm 139: 13-16
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. … Continue reading »
