Stuff I Keep Forgetting To Tell You Part 1: Thomas and Friends LIVE

Friday, July 31st, 2009

I have about 12,322 posts I keep meaning to write. But for whatever reason (don’t wanna find my camera, kids are crying, i’m too tired to write coherently, etc. etc. etc.)  I haven’t sat down to write them. Then it’s like 3 weeks after the fact. And I feel stupid for writing it. But at [...]

Blergh.

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

This morning at about 2:15 Asa woke up. He wasn’t crying exactly. More just voicing a complaint that he was in his bed alone. Or maybe he reralized Lydia was at Camp Primo and he wanted to be there, too. Regardless, I let him talk for a good 45 minutes. That’s when I noticed I [...]

When Was The Last Time You Went To Church?

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

I love my church. And I wish you could come with me. Well, now you can. Kinda. Beginning August 16 we’re starting an online campus. Cool, right? Hey, it’s worth a look, isn’t it?

Top Ten {Tuesday}: Bloody Films I Actually Liked

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

1. The Patriot
One of my favorite movies. It’s so bittersweet it makes my heart hurt thinking about it. And Mel Gibson? He’s hardcore in this one. The worst/best part is when he and his two young sons are watching a troop of redcoats in the woods. He asks his son, “Do you know which [...]

Breathe On Me

Find me here in this place
Son of God, Saving Grace
At this hour– all my days
Breathe on me, breathe on me
Morning Star shine Your light

The NOT Going to BlogHer Post

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Y’all. I’m having such a hard time writing this post. It’s like writing a bio. UGH. I hate writing bios. But I adore reading them. I always wonder how everyone is so creative and concise. While I’m trying to write my whole life story in 3 sentences. *whew* Ok. Here we go…
I’m a former Children’s [...]

I Am Not an Island

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Yesterday was another one of those days. When my husband came home he asked Lydia, “What did you do today?” And I could not give him a good answer. I mean, yeah, we did the dishes. And played Cariboo one time. But besides that it was a lot of nothing. I hate days like that.
Anyway, [...]

Retro Photo: Wigging Out

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

So yeah, Grandma wore a wig almost my whole life. But check out my room! Is it awesome or what? Look at all my toys! I love the one in my crib best! And yeah, I was pretty cute, too.

Top Ten {Tuesday}: Scripture

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

If you read my previous post, you’ll know I’ve been having a rough week. One thing that always encourages me in the middle of feeling like a horrible parent and being stressed out is focusing on some of God’s Word. So, in no particular order (and hopefully with little commentary) are the

TOP TEN SCRIPTURES I [...]

My First Parenting Scar

Monday, July 20th, 2009

I try not to blog about negative things. I don’t like to complain about my husband or when my kids aggravate me. Yeah, I complained about breastfeeding pain and not having enough sleep. But the real aggravations? The stuff that keeps me up at night and worried during my quiet moments? I really don’t even [...]
