These last few days have been a bit tense for me. As you may remember I mentioned before that I started school again after taking 2 semesters off and now with working part time, going to school part time, plus the new responsibility of our baby daughter, I’m finding it really difficult at times to juggle everything without feeling overwhelmed.… Continue reading Cut the Control, Unleash the Flexibility
There is a part of my subconscious (the stronger part) that is doing the bob and weave and saying “really, that’s all you’ve got? Bring it on!” and then the other half of my subconscious is huddled away in a corner, facing the wall, and waving a white flag over her head in defeat, burned out… Continue reading Burned Out But Laughing
Our daughter Celeste is enrolled in Gybmoree Play & Learn classes and one of the songs they sing is one where each parent holds their baby in front of them and we sing along to tick tock, tick tock, now we’re reaching “x” o’clock, we even do the little cookoo sound to match the time we’re singing.… Continue reading Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Now We’re Reaching 2 o’clock
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. Despite the fact that I’m a natural worrier/over thinker, when it comes to moments like these this unusual… Continue reading More Than Just a Happy Meal
Among the many things that I enjoy doing with my husband, one of my favorites and top of the list is going to church together. We’ve been going to Parkcrest Christian Church together since 2006 (a few months after we started dating) and it’s a connection we share that has become a very important part of… Continue reading Show Genuine Interest
“The most beautiful curve on a woman’s body is her smile” I read that quote on a Facebook post the other day, and how appropriate that I happened to remember it yesterday as I stood in front of the mirror at the Macy’s department store, the swim suit department no less, and tried on what… Continue reading There is a swim suit out there with my name on it!
I had one of my biggest Aha! moments today thanks to the color purple and I thought, why not make a list of the reasons why, for me, the color purple rocks. I saved the best for last. I was born in February, and very appropriately the birthstone is Amethyst…is it any wonder I love… Continue reading 6 Reasons why the color Purple rocks!
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. Her post reminded me of how when you follow God’s path he truly does work in such amazing ways. As some of… Continue reading I’ve been inspired “Not One, But Two……”
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
A few days ago I was having one of those moments where my thoughts began to run wild and I allowed them to get the best of me. 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
