I need to fold the laundry as soon as it gets out of the dryer. (or I end up not doing it at all) I need to drink more water I need to read the stack of books by my bed (and not watch so much TV at night) I need to touch base with certain [...]
Hover Mom
I am hyper. I am over the top with expectations on myself (they can spill over onto others at times.) I like things "just so" and have spent most of my life trying to keep things that way. I like them that way. I like order, schedules, and neatness. My husband when we first were [...]
Opening your Heart
Romans 12:13 13 When God’s children are in need, you be the one to help them out. And get into the habit of inviting guests home for dinner or, if they need lodging, for the night.

Setbacks
I wanted to scream. It was just one of those days. You know the ones; the very bad, no good day. Kids were screaming, daughter had already drawn maker all over the table and now I couldn’t get into my blog site because the server has been down and this was day two of all [...]
Previously….
I typed a letter to my mom a while ago. I think it deserves a repeat showing here. It really portrays how I am feeling at the moment. Life has been an interesting, joyful but also very challenging time with a toddler and a baby. Title: Love Letter Dear Mom, How do you do all [...]
