Before I even start this blog, I am going to apologize for "barfing" on you. That is my term for "spilling my guts." I have talked in a few past blogs about being real. Well here it is... Little Man woke up from his nap on Friday and has been a terror since. Understand that he is always a terror but he has ramped it up five fold. It started ...

The Not-So Joys of Facebook Part 2
Yesterday I told you about a new study on how reading friends' Facebook posts affect us. If you missed it, be sure to click over before reading today's post. Here are two Facebook posts: Facebook Status #1: Made homemade cinnamon rolls, started a family tradition of snow icecream, worked on homemade valentine cards with daughter, played ...
When Being Frugal and Being Wise Meet
I am frugal. My friends say I squeak. I also look for every opportunity available for my children to work on creativity and fine motor skills. With that said, this year I am letting it all go. For this moment in time spending money on something pre-made is the best decision. Let me explain. For the past few years, I have had a collection of ...
I Talk Too Much
I got an email from my mom the other day that said, "You talk too much." You know what? She is right! Let's back up... As I have written, Little Man has caused me to seek wisdom from some of the best disciplinarians in the world. For me, that is family members. I am surrounded by adults who know how to love, lead, and discipline children ...
Oh, Our Little Man…
Our Little Man has humbled me more than any of our other children. In his first 2 1/2 years of life, he can frustrate me to know end and yet leave me in a heap of emotions at how adorable he is! He pulls at my heart strings as I beg God to help me remember those endearing moments. He is a challenge like no other and has ...
It’s No Secret…
It's no secret that this Momma doesn't enjoy being pregnant. Probably because I have so few days that I feel good. Between kidney stones, ribs out of place, morning sickness...don't forget the fatigue and my mind being gone...what a mess. Now I find myself at the end of this long journey with just a few days to go. I can't sleep. I look in the ...
God’s Rainbow
Today has been an emotional day. Nothing has happened really out of the ordinary. Just filled with various emotions. As I have blogged before, this has not been an easy pregnancy. But as I come to the end, the fatigue, questions, and unknown can really get to a person. While studying Isaiah, I realize that the fears that I have are not from God. ...
Are You Kidding Me?
I recently read a quote by Christina Applegate about how she compares the show Married With Children (which made her famous) to TV today. It's so tame (laughing). I feel like we paved the way for the destruction of morality on the tube. Are you kidding me? I seriously had to read this twice to make sure that I didn't misread it. I will agree ...
Go to the Source
After a rough night of pregnancy, I woke up pretty discouraged and worn down. Although I am thankful for the process and feel very blessed, I don't enjoy the nine months that precede holding our brand new baby in my arms. For some reason God chose for our children to be born half grown which causes for a very large momma (what I call a beached ...
Are You Ready for Honesty?
Okay, you know those days when it feels like the world is caving in around you. Everything you touch breaks. Everything you try to do goes wrong. The emotions are out of whack and you truly want to go to bed and try again. Welcome to the life of a mom. At least that is where I am right now. For those of you who don't know me personally, we ...
