Last night was special. I was with some of my closest friends. As I looked around the room, I took notice of every single friend. I thought to myself, in amazement, what each one has endured – and, how each one was still standing. For all of us girls, it’s been about real covenant friendship. [...]

Turtle Trapping.
Yesterday morning I woke up, had some coffee, and watched one of those popular morning shows. One segment was on how many Americans are heading to food banks for the first time due to a deteriorating economy. I was especially moved by one working, single mother of two children who was really feeling the effects [...]

Calling all mommas of little girls.
Anna is only 3 ½. Isn’t it amazing that even at such a young age, she knows what she likes and what she doesn’t? When watching those girly commercials with everything from “My Little Pony” to “Barbie Mariposa”, she will usually shout, “I want one does”. We oblige some wants and not others. Take for [...]

Road Trip Rewind – Part 2 of 2
On the road again. After having to adjust Anna’s headset a gazillion times (which involves me unbuckling, turning around and placing it back on her head, because she won’t sit still), we had to come up with a resolution. I couldn’t decide what was worse, the constant aggravation of the headset on my wiggle worm [...]

Road Trip Rewind – Part 1 of 2
There are days that Kris and I make the wisest of decisions for our family. Then, there are days where we, I don’t know, decide to take a road trip with two kids and a dog. There are 900 miles between Oklahoma and Georgia. And, in my husband’s infinite wisdom, he thought it best to [...]

I also hide under beds and in closets.
Getting my kids motivated to get ready for school is no easy task. The other morning, I politely asked them in my sing song voice, “Go get dressed for school.” (Kind of sing it when ya say it.) A few moments later, I notice they are having too much fun in Anna’s princess tent to [...]

AI – The Finale ’08
Well, what did ya think? Here’s what I thought: · Seal’s performance with Syesha was UH-MAY-ZING. · I just love me some Bryan Adams. As soon as David C. and David A. began singing “Oh thinking about all our younger years, there was only you and me. We were young and wild and free. Now nothin’ [...]

Finding Aslan.
We saw Narnia: Prince Caspian this weekend. I just love me some C.S. Lewis. I liked it even better than the first. Kris prefers the first, but he is always sentimental to the first of any movies with sequels. Actually, I think he struggles with change. Like the new pair of Adidas flip flops I [...]

The Pursuit of God.
We often hear about how we need to pursue Christ. And, we do. But, the other day I read this scripture in the New Living Translation, and I was blown away. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the [...]

Take one Happy Meal and call me in the morning.
Yesterday was a boo-tiful (as Anna would say) day to be outdoors. We set out our beach chairs and imagined that the ocean was only a few feet away. Then, Anna thought it would be fun to play in, or on, her little red car. The only thing more fun than riding inside the little [...]
