Mommy Brain or Just Plain Absentminded?

Now that I’ve been back at work for a few months, my mornings have become quite interesting now that we have baby Celeste. When it comes to getting ready for work I’ve always sort of just left things to the last minute, actually I tend to be like that in general, although there is always… Continue reading Mommy Brain or Just Plain Absentminded?

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

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

“Love is a verb”

There’s so many things that I took away with me this weekend from our marriage retreat, most importantly that we can’t do it alone, that it’s important to have God guide us and be an essential part of our relationship and also that “love is a verb”. This “love is a verb” comes from Andy Stanley’s… Continue reading “Love is a verb”

Time for some TLC
