II Peter 3:9 Sunday was Little Bit's Birthday!! We didn't have a huge party this year, but it was still a very exciting and exhausting day for a seven-year-old: two church services, all the presents, all the cake, all the playing... So, Monday morning was not so exciting. The tired Birthday Princess definitely woke up … Continue reading Longsuffering

Decisions
"...but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." from Joshua 24:15 Sometimes I suffer from decision overload (it's a real thing...). Mama life is so full of decisions on top of the ones I've always had to make for myself anyway, that I have moments when I cannot make another rational … Continue reading Decisions
When Mama Ain’t Looking
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

Song

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
