More Than Just a Happy Meal

It’s 8pm and I’ve just left my mom, 7 month old baby, and nephew standing outside my locked car in the parking structure at the mall as I speed walk back to the stores we visited in search of my lost car/house keys.

I’m standing at the kitchen counter about to start dinner.  I open the cabinet to round up the ingredients for this evening’s meal and I see it, that seemingly innocent white-lidded jar, beckoning my attention.  I look away and continue gathering my supplies, but its call is too great…

Milestones and New Experiences

I felt such a need just now to get on here and write. Like when your body is thirsty for water and can’t wait to be satiated. It’s been a week of exciting milestones that I can’t wait to share. So if you’re ready for some baby stories, sit back, relax, and enjoy. Our little girl is… Continue reading Milestones and New Experiences

I’ve been inspired “Not One, But Two……”

Not One, But Two……. A few days ago I read a most inspiring post from my fellow blogger Kathy Plashley, I hope you’ll take the time to read her post at the above link.
