All Shook Up

I’ve always had some pretty bizarre dreams. I’ve heard people say that dreams are a reflection of things that are going on in your life. Sometimes I’ve had to question that because some of my dreams can be pretty weird, sometimes full of color and imagination – which can be very fun, and other times they’re just downright laughable from… Continue reading All Shook Up

Ballroom Love Story Continued…

So there I was, February 28th, 2006 and working up a sweat at the dance studio while practicing my dance show number with my instructor. Yes, I said dance show number. Since I was on such a roll with the dancing I decided to up the ante by signing up for their studio show in… Continue reading Ballroom Love Story Continued…

From Purse to Diaper Bag

One day, around the time when Celeste was probably about 2 1/2 months old, I was messaging with my cousin and pouring my heart out to her on how overwhelmed and exhausted I felt and how miserable the first few weeks of sleep deprivation felt. Basically how warped my mind felt. I love talking to… Continue reading From Purse to Diaper Bag

Is there a pause button somewhere?

I have been itching to get on here to write for what seems like ages and just as I’m about to sit down and get comfy I suddenly hear the mommy call, which at 4 months of age means that my little one lets out a little cry to let me know it’s her time now. So here… Continue reading Is there a pause button somewhere?

Lasting Love

I’m reading a wonderful book by Ravi Zacharias called I, Isaac, take thee, Rebekah, which is about “moving from Romance to Lasting Love”. I actually ordered this book about a month and a half or so after our baby was born (she’s now 4 months) because in my sleep deprived and overwhelmed state, my mind was… Continue reading Lasting Love

It was one of those days where I was feeling overwhelmed and one small thought turned into a jumble of fabricated stories in my head.  It’s amazing how… Continue reading Monkey Mind

A Ballroom Love Story

Did I ever share the story of how my husband and I met? I love our story because it reminds me of how God really does have a path for each of us. Of course we all have free will and different roads to choose from, I believe though that when we follow God’s intended path for… Continue reading A Ballroom Love Story

Adventures of Biggie the bulldog

Biggie (our bulldog) and the explosion

Word of caution, beware of what’s to come if you suddenly find your dog circling around a small area inside your house. At least that’s the case with our bulldog Biggie, because it turns out when he does that, expect mayhem to follow. This morning I was feeding baby Celeste when all of a sudden… Continue reading Biggie (our bulldog) and the explosion

Love is in the little things

Today was filled with a whole bunch of lovely moments. My day started off with one of my favorite things…my husband and I saying a prayer together before starting a new day. For me this has always been one of the best ways to start off my day. I love when it’s dark in the… Continue reading Love is in the little things
