Little Bit has made it to a stage where she's really doing a lot of things for herself (when she wants to haha). With these new abilities, I try to give her some freedom and the chance to make more decisions for herself. It won't be long until she heads off to school, and I … Continue reading When Mama Ain’t Looking

Beyond the List
Little Bit and I are all about checklists. It's not like I set out to turn her into a list maker, but it's how I function, and she's picked up the habit. Here's a list of some of the lists I make: grocery list shopping list (non-grocery) monthly calendar weekly to-do list songs to practice … Continue reading Beyond the List
Rest For My Soul
Some people can sleep just a few hours per night and wake up fresh as a daisy, ready to face the day. I am not one of those people. At all. I've tried to be. I want to be able to stay up late, get up early, and get a lot done, but it backfires … Continue reading Rest For My Soul
Blessed Beyond Measure
Shopping is usually a stressful experience for me. I head out with a specific goal in mind, something that I feel is simple and straightforward, but come up empty-handed after searching high and low. I don't know if the problem is more with my expectations, the selections available, or my refusal to pay ridiculous prices … Continue reading Blessed Beyond Measure
Because…
It's time to wake up. Why? Breakfast is ready. Why? Let's brush our teeth. Why? Don't draw on your baby doll. Why? Use a nice voice. Why? Let's go outside. Why? Time to sing. Why? You have to listen. Why? That's pretty much how it is around here with Little Bit nowadays. It really doesn't … Continue reading Because…
Backseat Driver
True Story: I am a horrible passenger. I don’t mean to be, but I seriously do not feel safe sitting close to the white line! I don’t know if it’s an anxiety thing or something with my perception, but I feel like I’m about to land in the ditch most of the time (Surely it’s … Continue reading Backseat Driver
Intention
I've been pondering on the phrase, "living intentionally." I've heard it in passing, from various sources, and have taken it to just mean thinking about what you're doing and having a reason for doing it. And that totally makes sense, but I don't recall hearing the phrase mentioned in relation to living for the Lord. … Continue reading Intention
Christmas in July (or August)
Little Bit is not the most patient little girl (I guess that’s just part of being a kid). If we’re in the car for ten minutes, it’s the classic, ”Are we there yet?” or her refrain, ”It’s a long way!” Both said in the most pitiful, whining voice imaginable. And forget about taking the opportunity … Continue reading Christmas in July (or August)
Peace
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:7 I struggled with writing this post because I didn’t really want to talk about sad things, but I need to add a little bit to what I shared last time. I briefly mentioned tragedies in general, … Continue reading Peace
