It is time for an update. Bubs Bubs is seven with a birthday just around the corner. He just finished 1st Grade and had a great teacher and year. It is crazy how the dynamics change now that he is home all day. This has created an adjustment for all of us. Sensory wise, Bubs continues to have very rough moments. We praise God that ...
Mommyhood
Spin a Chore
For some reason in our home, the kids prefer to do a job at 80% instead of doing the job correctly. Not really sure why but they do. Here's an example...instead of putting the toy in the room, on the shelf where it belongs, the children place the toy in the doorway of the room. I believe the extra three steps to finish the job ...

So Much To Tell You: Message #3
Today is the conclusion of the four day series, "So Much to Tell You." If you missed the beginning post, please go back and read Day 1. Looking back over this series, I feel like a science experiment: Day #1 - Houston, we have a problem. Day #2 - Recognize the problem, unable to find solution Day #3 - Solution is found Day #4 - ...
So Much to Tell You: Message #2
If you haven't read the beginning of this blog series, please go back so that you understand the need I had for the messages. I longed for the other side but for some reason found myself unable to obtain it. The worst part of it, I didn't know what was holding me back. Why was I so drawn to the computer, to my mommy drug, which allowed me ...

So Much to Tell You
Finally, I get to sit down and write this blog. I am so excited to tell you what God is teaching me right now that I can barely stand myself. I seriously have thought how wonderful it would be to have a computer hooked to my brain so that all I had to do was think it, and it would type up the document. (Might be scary to see in writing some of the ...

What is it Going to Take?
Some of the reason why my stress level is elevated has to do with our third blessing. This precious three-year-old is absolutely adorable. (There is a reason why God made him so cute.) But Little Man is trying every patient strand that I have left. Here's some background: If you have followed this blog long, you know that Bubs (our eldest ...
Okay..I Admit It
Here goes nothing. "I am stressed." There. I said it. Now the hundreds of you who read this blog each day know that Momma C is stressed. Oh, I said it again. Would saying "I am stressed" one more time make it a charm? I spent this past weekend thinking, praying, discussing this issue with my husband. While I can feel the tension ...
