God never ceases to amaze me. In the midst of the chaos that is being a parent, God always finds a way to remind me of what a blessing it is to have that chaos. I am so thankful for all those moments that God makes sure I’m not distracted and I am able… Continue reading It really is all about the small things
Today was all kinds of fabulous fun! At the top of the list is that my beautiful mom turned 60 today and we started her special day by participating in Orange County Walk United at Angel Stadium. The place where I work at was one of the many organizations that got a team together to… Continue reading Sunday funday
Sometimes I have some real amazing epiphanies as a parent. Those moments where I think, wow, where did that calm and patience come from? Who is this person and what has it done to my usual impatient and easily rattled self?! I never knew quite how impatient I can be and how easily I… Continue reading Hello beach, goodbye control
Yesterday when Celeste and I went to walk Biggie in the evening she found this small spot where she suddenly started to dance and sing. Then she asked me to sing so that she could dance to the song. I stood there watching her twirl, bend, twist, and do all sorts of movements, flowing so… Continue reading Little performer
Last I left off we were in Borrego Springs, the kind of place that is so remote and small that you intentionally have to be going there. It’s not somewhere you happen to stop by on your way to your real destination. And don’t get me wrong, it’s a beautiful slow moving quiet place, the… Continue reading In search of wildflowers: Don’t blame the Toms
I love the stillness and unfamiliarity of a hotel room at this hour. We are in the city of Borrego Springs, the kind of quaint little city with no stop lights and that closes its mall at 5p daily. We are here to visit and explore Anza Borrego Dessert State Park and see the wild… Continue reading In search of wild flowers with a toddler and baby: Day 1
There’s this page I follow on Facebook called Proverbs 31 Ministries that I really enjoy reading. It always seems to touch on a subject close to heart and that I’ve been thinking about, or reading it brings me back to what really matters. I loved everything about the above post because I too want… Continue reading Not leaving things to chance
Nothing good can possibly come of writing at 10:20pm after more than an hour of trying to put my 5 week old to bed and failing miserably. But I think every mom should be allowed a rant, especially at the 5 week mark when sleep has gotten slightly better, but let’s face it, I’m still… Continue reading About a newborn – the 5 week mark rant
Tomorrow is my 40th birthday! I can’t seem to wrap my mind around the fact that I’m greeting this milestone birthday with a 3 year old daughter and a little bitty 4 week old newborn. Wow! For starters, how am I 40?! I don’t even feel like I’m 40 and some people say I certainly… Continue reading About a newborn – hello 40!
A few days ago my husband and I were talking in bed before the start of a new day. The topic turned to that fear of not having control over things like the well being of your child or a loved ones safety. I told my husband how sometimes I’ll be dropping off our daughter… Continue reading Goodbye friend
