A Mother’s Love

Tonight Scott and I stopped at The Home Depot to get some prices on some things we need to do around the house. As usual, we ended up picking up a few things. While we were checking out, an employee was standing there in front of Kelly and Madison who were sitting in a double [...]

What Do I Love To Do?

Tonight my husband asked me what is it that I love to do. Since Maddison was acting up, fighting sleep and I just wanted her to go to bed so I could have a break, I didn’t get to answer him. I told him I’d tell him after she fell asleep, but he [...]

Thunderstorms & Neighbors

(This post was written with many many distractions coming from some very high-maintenance and needy kids…please excuse any typos or inconsistencies that may exist therein!)
Last night the coolest thunderstorm rolled through. I’m thankful we have storms here in Ohio. That is one thing I missed when Scott and I first got married and I moved [...]

Things I Never Thought I’d Say

I said today.
Like this:
“Dwight, you are grounded for pouring milk in your brother’s eye.”

I’m So Tired

I’m beginning to remember that I actually don’t like to move! My body is aching and I just feel sleepy. I just want to get the unpacking done so I can move on with my life.
But tomorrow we are taking a day off. We’ve been going nonstop for two weeks. I [...]

Oh Kelly!

This is why I love having kids…they just make me laugh so much.
Today Scott gave Kelly a hug. As I was commenting on how much “Daddy loves” her, I saw her digging in her pants. No, he didn’t “love her.” He stuck a piece of ice down her pants!
But don’t [...]

Betrayal & Forgiveness

So I didn’t have Internet connection while in Oklahoma. But that’s okay. I didn’t have much time either between visiting with friends & family and working on my sister’s wedding stuff. But I did type up a blog on a rather frustrating night – the night before the wedding. I’ve been wrestling with the decision [...]

Oklahoma!

Heading south for my sister’s wedding. We are crazy enough to drive (that and we don’t want to buy 6 plane tickets!). I’m going back to my hometown. I haven’t been there for years, but I’m really looking forward to seeing Katrina at Transplanted & Growing and my family.
I plan [...]
