My daughter with autism, is part of a fabulous program that provides a wonderful school environment and superb therapy services. Every year, in November, they have the Hope Relay and she and I walk the 5K portion of the event. Yesterday the…

Lord of the Mess…Post-it Note #16
We live in the parsonage beside the church that Hubby pastors. It’s a good size house with lots of space. But it’s filled with lots of people. We take up every inch and spill over sometimes. 5 kids, the dogs, bunny rabbits, explosions of toys and laundry. Good luck finding a place to sit. A…
Daughters
As a mom of 5 kids I have learned that I still have tons to learn. But along this path of motherhood some of my greatest lessons have been taught to me by the very children I try to teach. Lately, I’ve been thinking particularly about my daughters. One thing that all women have in…
Not Letting Go
Yesterday was a day of adventure and misadventure. It was be-au-ti-ful! in SC in the early part of the day. The kids were sitting around playing on their devices and hubby and I decided they needed to get out of the house. We dragged the bikes out of the garage and pumped up the tires…

I was at a friend’s house this week for a visit and she showed me some damage that had been done to her house by a recent storm. Some of the brickwork was busted around her porch, as well as posts needed to be replaced. In addition, they were going to need a new roof. …
When Life Gets Crazy
Crazy. That’s what we do at our house. We do it pretty well. We’re gifted at crazy. We even have a dog that I’m convinced has a split personality. I recently told the story of getting a 2nd degree burn in my kitchen. What I didn’t tell was that a spaghetti squash exploded on me. …
Don’t Judge Me
I have a couple littles at my house that are crazy about bacon. It’s an unnatural love for pork that I find somewhat disturbing, but nonetheless, it is what it is. Recently I cooked a plate of bacon for breakfast and one of my littles, who gets up before the rest of the house, “called…
Dry Branches
A couple weeks ago we had a really big storm in our area. It brought on big thunder and lightening and my little people ended up in my bed waiting for it to pass. After it settled down we all went to sleep, but the whole county woke up the next morning to find limbs…
