What is it about mothers and mothering that causes people to spend oodles yearly in celebration of them? Well, in my experience: It’s the only calling that isn’t necessarily based on ordination. It’s a task for which there is no standard/model/template to work with. A job in which every single day is different since there…Read more Why you need to…love a mother.
Motherhood
Bones, bones, rise up!
Let’s talk today about laziness. Why? Why??? Because it’s a condition that eludes me much these days. Lol. So, as I’m the one blogging (read: talking) here, so you just have to help me by reading (read: listening). I’ll rant a bit. A long, long time ago (dramatic, right?), there were days when I could…Read more Bones, bones, rise up!
Not good enough, eh?
To say I’ve been stretched lately is an understatement. For some reason, I’d imagined that as my kids got older, I’d have more time to myself. I’m now learning that my expectations of “older” need to be adjusted. Yes, that is a truth that will at some point happen. As I’ve heard, there will come…Read more Not good enough, eh?
Grace, grace
The story of me: Some days I feel like a hero. And believe I am. Other days, not so much. Learning the art of hanging onto grace. For dear life.
Sappy all the way
I recall the very first time(s) I witnessed my baby smile back at me. Wow! Heart-stopping. It felt so genuine and as though it had been thought of for a long time prior to it actually happening. And it’s not as if I’d done anything especially nice to her for me to deserve it. I…Read more Sappy all the way

Whatever box you picture in your head. How do I know this? I invite you to do an…Read more Out of control toddler??

Strong-th?
If you’re like me and have a crazy high metabolism, you’d know that there are times when you just don’t feel strong. One moment, you have all the energy in the world and are moving at a rapid pace, and the next, you feel like sitting down. Sometimes even lying down. That moment when you’re…Read more Strong-th?
Doing it supernaturally
Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved babies. They're super cute, tiny, sweet, etc. I’ve also always wanted one or two, but as a kid, when I started hearing about what it took to “get” them out into the world, I promptly considered that, when I grew up, adoption would be the only way to…Read more Doing it supernaturally
