This morning was a bit of a fussy day for Miss Emma. She couldn’t seem to find anything that would make her happy and was NOT content to play by herself as normal. I finally decided to crack out her Pea Pod Pop-up Tent and open an adorable tea party set that she got from [...]
I love how still and peaceful early mornings are. They are my favorite time to spend with the Lord-when I am free from all the distractions of daily living; I don’t feel compelled to spot the carpet, or clean the sink, and I can walk by a messy counter without tidying it. On those mornings (fewer than [...]
I came across an article that I had clipped from a past “O” magazine titled “If They Can Do It…” The article opens with a statement from Condoleezza Rice, former Secretary of State “You would think waking up at 4:30 and having to exercise and get dressed and be at my desk by 6:30 in [...]
I can’t believe this month is almost over! Our family just spent the first 3 weeks of March living over on the Westside starting treatment on Steve’s back. It feels amazing to be home, yet I feel like I’ve been running around like a mad woman. Each day I accomplish so many things on my [...]

squash
Now I just need to figure out where I’m going to put my garden where [...]
For a while I’ve been in a bit of a bible study slump, you know when you lack direction in what to ready/study/meditate on, etc. Well, I’ve been recently inspired. Because I’ve always been interested in nutrition and weight loss counseling/ministering, I decided to do a word study on food, gluttony, the body, eating, health, [...]
I truly believe that Babies are the most wonderful gift God can give you. So full of love, eagerness, constantly learning, growing before your eyes. I really can’t imagine that someday all my babies will be grown and I won’t have a little one to wrap up in blankies and hold in my arms. I’m [...]
Dear Nancy from the Chelan County Clerk’s office just called to let me know that my plea to be removed from the jury duty docket has been fulfilled. Thank you Nancy! Not that I had any problem with serving as a juror, in fact, I was pretty darn pleased to get the letter (as if [...]
