Little man’s cold kept us all home from MOPS this morning. No yummy breakfast and conversation with the ladies for Mom, no playing with friends for Simon Joe, no rocking babies for Maggie. It was Maggie that took it the hardest, “But we missed last time because Justin was sick,” she said through tears. Sad [...]

What a full and joyful day! We had a wonderful time at Maggie’s party! Five beautiful girls in smashing costumes, a fabulous set, and many giggles culminated in an adorable performance of “Actions Speak Lounder than Words” An American Girl Play.
A lovely time was had by all…
A Quiet, Confident Heart

This keeping of a gift list is the best therapy I have found for a heart bent towards discontentment. As I keep recounting His gifts to me at the end of each day, I find that I am beginning to see more gifts right in the moment. Oh, that this kind of seeing would become [...]
Where I’m from…

I am from baseball games and Kool-Aid, Cabbage Patch Dolls, and Big Red Saturdays
I am from Shirley Street, from neighborhood games of “pickle” in the side yard, dinner with Three’s Company and The Grand Old Opry, and the banging of the deck door by a child off to jump the crick and play in the [...]
