Mirror, Mirror

I'm sure any parent will agree that if you want to see a really clear picture of yourself, have a child! All the shirts and things that say "mini me" are labeled that way for a reason. Being able to see myself in my little girl is amazing. She definitely has my wild hair, thinks … Continue reading Mirror, Mirror →

I Can’t See

We were in revival all last week with our preacher at another church. We sit right up front at our home church, but ended up sitting near the back for the whole week of revival (I'm sure we would have been welcome to sit anywhere, that's just where we ended up). I lost count of … Continue reading I Can’t See →

Little People

This may sound crazy, but sometimes it's hard to remember that the little person in my house is a person.

Keep Going

Being a mama is exhausting. Caring for another person (or two, or more) is definitely a full-time occupation. Sometimes it feels like there's no time or energy left to do anything else.

Best. Gift. Ever.

Part One:Giving Gift giving can be stressful. I catch myself wanting to find ”the perfect gift” for each person. Something they will love that is both practical and fun. Something that nobody else would even think of giving them. The gift that shows how much I really care about that person. And I'm fairly certain … Continue reading Best. Gift. Ever. →

Anticipation

A couple weeks ago, I ordered my planner for the coming year. It's my first fancy planner since before Little Bit was born, so I've been pretty excited. I was able to design my own cover and have it punched to work with my current system, and this company has the smoothest paper. So, of … Continue reading Anticipation →
