My poor, neglected blog. I had every intention of filling it up last week, but we had Vacation Bible School and I had an arthritis flare and I ended up sleeping through pretty much all of my blog time and also most of my housework time. Thankfully on Friday I started feeling better! And truly, […]
Welcome to my fancy redecorated blog! I’ve been thinking it was time for a facelift, and I’ve been wanting to take the kids’ faces off the front page as my focus has shifted from mostly posts about my family to mostly posts of a spiritual nature. My amazing friend Mindy has this journaling Bible that […]
Can I be very transparent with you? If you’ve been reading my blog since the beginning, when I had two preschool boys who were the most exhausting and hilarious thing in the world, then you have probably realized that my writing has changed. Aside from not blogging nearly as often as I used to (thank […]
I spend a lot of time composing words that never make it into the blog or into any tangible form whatever. Life is busy and complicated and distracting. There are always so many things that need doing, and not so many people to do them. I sometimes wish I could directly dump my brain […]
I promised myself I’d write more in the new year. I know. Didn’t I just post a few days ago about how I hate the new year? Yeah, well, my hatred of it doesn’t seem to stop me from making promises to myself, which is different from resolutions because I said it is. Anyway, I […]
It’s official– I blogged every day in July! Or at least, I will have blogged every day once I finish this post. I haven’t decided if I think this was a good exercise or not, honestly. I’d like to think that maybe I’ve started a habit that can at least continue more often than the […]
Today is day 8 of blogging every day for a month, and can I just be honest here? I’m really not feeling it today. I’m tired and I feel like I’ve been “on” all day long and truthfully I just want to sit here and watch the TV. It would probably be even better if […]
This post is totally not going to make any sense. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! I have to start by saying thank you to all of you who read my post yesterday and responded with your encouraging words. It is good to know I’m not the only one who struggles, and that you all […]
As I pad softly down the dark steps in the early morning, a light from outside draws my eye. Too early for sunrise as fall marches crisply toward winter and short days and all our needs felt a little more deeply– what is it out there, lighting up the early morning with its brilliance? And […]
I do hope that you have been saving money for my present. So, yeah. It’s July 2nd. Ever since October, my mom, sister, and I have chosen a “thirty-day challenge” each month, where we do something every day for thirty days. Some months I have failed miserably; a couple of months have actually produced habits […]
