I’m doing my best to stay current on family events, since that’s really my primary reason for blogging. One great blessing of the Internet is the ability to share photos and family news with loved ones far away. Of course, I’m not sure if many of my family members are reading, but I know a …

This year, my birthday fell on a Sunday (March 25). Because of that, my husband wanted to celebrate it on the Saturday before. He hired a babysitter and took me out to Olive Garden for lunch! We both enjoyed salad, a bowl of potato soup, and we got those miniature versions of their desserts! And …
I wrote a little poem for my sweet girl’s fifth birthday. I wrote it down quickly, so it’s far from perfect. It’s hard to believe I’ll have four children in school next year! When they were babies it felt like their school days were far, far away. I’m learning, as all mothers do, that the …
Today is a very special day for our family. Today is my wonderful mother’s birthday! My Mom has always been a hard worker – both in the workplace and at home. She managed, by God’s grace, to be a success both in her career and in her home. I remember hearing preachers say that women …
