STOP!

Emily must stop having mommy freakouts! I also must listen to my husband when he tells me not to freak out!  How come, as women, it is easier for us to “hear” things from our friends rather than our husbands?  As kids, it works the same, but instead of not listening to our husbands, it [...]

How I REALLY feel

A good friend of mine and I were talking the other day.  We began saying how many times, as Christians, when someone asks how you are doing, we are almost EXPECTED to say “good” whether we truly feel that way or not.  She told that so many times when asked “Hi there, how are you?” [...]

Moving On

Well, Nana is gone and we are back to it just being the three of us.  I cannot believe that in only a matter of weeks, we will be moving on from here to another stage in our lives.  We have so many emotions when it comes to moving.  We have some we shouldn’t with [...]

Sacrifice and Scores

Ok wow.  This was a great message from Focus on the Family.  I don’t read everything by them, but I enjoy reading much of their stuff on marriage and family.  This was a great message.  Although it is talking about love with your spouse, I think you can apply this to ANY relationship in your life!  [...]

Zero to 60

For those of you Nascar fanatics (I am not one, though I have never TRULY given it a chance either, that is another post, another day) you know what this means.  Most people know what this means, thanks to Nicolos Cage in Gone in 60 seconds, or Vin Diesel in Fast and the Furious.  Anyways, [...]

Here comes Nana!

My mom is coming today.  She will be staying a week.  Both Andrew and I are really looking forward to her visit.  I know she will  be glad to see us, but I am pretty sure she mainly wants to see Katie.    I think that is how it works once parents become grand-parents.  [...]

woohoo!

I was so excited the other day.  As Katie gets older, she is enjoying more “grown up” toys, haha.  As most of you know, Andrew and I love music!  So, we are hoping that Katie enjoys music as well.  So, we have lots of musical things for her.  One thing we have been wanting to [...]

This is pretty sad

Ok, so it is pretty sad when I learn something good from one of Katie’s shows!  HAHA.  Of course, it is about worry.  It is from “It’s A Big Big World” on PBS kids.  A show that takes place in the rainforest and the main character is a sloth named Snook.  Now, we think of sloth’s [...]

like it this way

As many of you know I am a worrier.  I know this.  I try and stop it, but most of the time, I can’t.  I am learning. Andrew is helping.  I know all the verses on worry/anxiety in the Bible.  Today, I re-read them.  I read them in differant translations.  I love how this verse [...]

I love God’s creatures, but. . .

I am seriously considering buying a gun and shooting some birds, and I don’t even know how to use one! (and I am scared of them! hahaha, guns, not birds, although I am sure there is a phobia out there of people scared of birds!) Anyway, would that be wrong?  Would God get mad at [...]
