Prayer Requests for Family
We’ve had a lot of drama in the family recently that require prayers.
First I’d like to ask for prayers of gratitude because even though my inlaws live within 10 miles of the epicenter of yesterday’s earthquake, no one was hurt and all of the damage to the house was cosmetic. It’s a [...]
Weekend “Hikes”
We have started a new tradition in our family that I’m really excited about.
Living in Austin, Texas we are surrounded by amazing trails, creeks, rivers, wildlife, and trees. There are so many roads that you can drive down and suddenly forget that you are in a big city. And most of [...]
Braces - 2 months
It’s been 9 weeks since I had the braces put on and my “fangs” are already gone. I saw my parents about two weeks after I got them back in May and my mom asked if I was able to fit these through my teeth yet. I thought that was a silly question [...]
Continued Confessions
I try really hard not to be judgmental. When I see someone doing something that is “un” something in the world according to Dawn, I work through it to come out on the other side. One of my recent judgments shot to hell by having kids of my own is related to [...]
In Honor of Working Moms
Awesome post in honor of working moms by a stay at home mom. Thus refuting the rumors of “mommy wars.”

Loving the Belly (and droopy boobs) after the Pregnancy
I used to tease everyone during my pregnancy to “love the belly.” I mean, it was an amazing thing to have this thin skin protecting two precious little ones growing so well inside. I felt beautiful and vibrant even with that huge expanding belly. But then reality hit after they were born [...]
Should we or shouldn’t we?
The time has come to answer the big question, “should we have another baby?” Both Brad and I are 35 years old and don’t want to wait too much longer if we are going to have another. We are kicking around the cons things we’d have to think about a lot right now. [...]
Quote by Helen Keller
I love quotes. I collect them. I have text files filled with quotes on all kinds of subjects that mean something to me like education, motherhood and spirituality. Today I was reminded of one of my favorite by Helen Keller.
“I long to accomplish a great and noble tasks, but it [...]
Nothing Much…but then there was Dinner
I’ve been busy. I can’t say that it’s anything worth talking about so I haven’t. Mostly keeping the house clean and playing with the boys. Forest appears to be teething again, molars I’m guessing but he doesn’t let anyone into his mouth to know for sure. So he’s very clingy and [...]
Braces update
Monday morning I had my first appointment since having the braces put on five weeks ago. I have to be honest, I have no idea what exactly they did. I know that it involved taking off the rubber bands on most of the front teeth and instead using long, thin wires wrapped around [...]
