How?

How do you move forward when there’s so much you just don’t want to let go of? How do let your son feel sad from missing his friends but help him love forward even when you are feeling the same way? How do you let your self rest and enjoy this break we’ve been given […]

Making a U-turn

I was raised on the other side of the country. I did life there for 23 years and I loved it. Then I moved to Southern California, the other side of earth. Atleast it felt like it at the time. It took me awhile to adjust to California life, especially Southern California life. But I […]

Family Rules

Last Fall Brian and I attended a parenting class hosted at a local church. The series we went through was the Family Discipleship Ministry by Craig Castor. We both really like it and would recommend checking it out at www.parentingministry.org/. One of the many suggestions we took from our parenting class was establishing family rules […]

Copycat

The kids and I were eating dinner the other night and Mase was chewing his food with his chin to his chest, looking down at this place (I don’t know why he was doing this, not the point). I looked over and saw Theia watching him and then do the same thing. She had her […]

Challenged

32 and lovin’ it!

Today is my 32nd birthday! Yeah for me! I absolutely love my birthday. Not in a selfish conceited way but I just love that this is my day to celebrate. I get lots of hugs and birthday wishes, extra love and some gifts. It makes me feel super special. When I was younger I didn’t […]

It’s all good.

I stood in church this past Sunday wondering how I was going to make it. I was facing another 7 days on my own. It was only day 1 and I didn’t know what we were going to do the rest of the day let alone the rest of the week. I was already tired, […]
