This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24, NKJV I've been trying to finish the same cup of morning coffee since 7:00 AM. It is now a quarter til noon, and I'm still not through it. Perhaps that's responsible in part for my impatience today. My toddler is also having … Continue reading This is the Day
3 Things Christians Should Stop Saying to Expectant Moms
I am really amazed at the amount of hurtful and offensive comments I get from other church members about children while carrying my third child. Let me start by saying that being offended isn't a big deal, be offended- nothing happens. I by no means would inhibit freedom of speech just because some people are … Continue reading 3 Things Christians Should Stop Saying to Expectant Moms
Multiplying Pasta with Meat Sauce
Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread to the disciples so they could distribute it to the people. He also divided the fish for everyone to share. Mark 6:41, NLT I don't know how God does … Continue reading Multiplying Pasta with Meat Sauce
Budgets, Babies, and Back seats
I hate budgeting. I'm good at formulating budgets. I'm even diligent in saving and tithing each month. But I'm not good at change, unexpected expenses, or STAYING WITHIN my budget. Now, that said, I've taken Dave Ramsey's financial Peace class and I've tried the cash envelope method. All that does to me is say, "oh, … Continue reading Budgets, Babies, and Back seats
Changes Coming
Now is as good a time as any... We're expecting again! Baby #3 was completely a surprise to us. Our other two children weren't necessarily planned either, but my husband and I were able to at least vaguely pinpoint their conceptions. We are both befuddled as to how and when this little bean was conceived, … Continue reading Changes Coming
Emergency Preparedness with Young Children
That's what preparedness is all about; knowing how to live in uncertain times because you don't know what the future holds, all the while knowing it's God who holds the future.
The Homestead Waits for No Mama
Yesterday at church, my husband and I noticed something- we were 2 of about 10 choir members who showed up. Yikes! Our director, our pianist, and numerous members were all sick with the flu! Fast forward from yesterday to 8:00AM this morning... I woke with chills, aches, and a fever. When we went to wake … Continue reading The Homestead Waits for No Mama
The Step Beyond
It's my birthday!!!! Usually I'd be really excited and surround myself with the color blue (it's my favorite) but this year, I'm suddenly keenly aware of the fact that I'm... Aging...*shivers* Ages 20-23 were a blast. I was fit (mostly) and by 23, healthy. I was running 30 miles a week and lifting weights. My … Continue reading The Step Beyond
What’s the deal?
I've noticed over the past several months that I'm spending more on groceries...Much more. There are a couple factors at play. "We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto." I had a seriously skewed perception of the cost of food while shopping on base at Camp Lejeune while my husband was stationed there in the Marine Corps. … Continue reading What’s the deal?
Down Dog!
Hey all. We had a pet emergency this weekend. Our border collie, Anna (7), was hit by a truck. Below is a link to my original post about the incident. http://wp.me/p7rbcx-3q In an effort to offset her veterinary medical costs, I've started an Etsy shop called Down Dog Denim, that features items made from repurposed … Continue reading Down Dog!
